T4-Gutachter
The T4-Gutachter were medical experts who were employed by the Zentraldienststelle-T4 to organize and carry out the Action T4 "euthanasia" program in Nazi Germany. Based on reporting forms with information about the mentally ill and disabled, they decided who would be the victims killed by gas in "euthanasia" centers. An internal document from the organization T4 shows a list of 40 physicians who were among those who worked for Action T4.
