## Bio

Born 8 January 1904, Brandt trained as a surgeon and joined the Nazi Party in 1932. By August 1934 he was Hitler's escort doctor, part of the inner circle at the Berghof. In that role Philipp Bouhler selected him to administer Aktion T4, the euthanasia program that systematically murdered disabled patients. He later became Reich Commissioner of Health and Emergency Services. Indicted in late 1946, he stood trial with 22 others in the Doctors' Trial before a U.S. military tribunal, accused of human experimentation and war crimes. Found guilty, he was sentenced to death and executed on 2 June 1948.
