1948 June 2 All seven doctors sentenced to death at the "Doctor's Trial" (Karl Brandt, Karl Gebhart, Rudolf Brandt, Joachim Mrugowsky, Wolfram Sievers, Viktor Brack, and Waldemar Hoven) are hanged at Landsberg prison in Bavaria. The sentences of the remaining defendants are reduced during the appeal process. After Sievers conviction, Friederick Hielscher received permission to accompany Sievers to the gallows as his spiritual advisor, and it was with him that the condemned man said prayers to the mysterious cult, which was never mentioned throughout his trial. Hielscher then returned to obscurity. (Pauwels)
