(Browning, 17) 1944 A circular by the German Ministry of Interior orders that ill Ostarbeiter (forced laborers from the east) and Poles be sent only to selected state hospitals, including several hospital centers well-known for their killing of the handicapped. They include Tiegenhof with jurisdiction over the Wartheland, East and West Prussia, and Danzig; Kaufbeueren for Bavaria; Mauer-Oehling for most of Austria; and Hadamar for Hessen. Most of the Poles and other forced laborers are suffering from tuberculosis and are thus unable to work. Since it is too expensive to send them back to Poland or other countries in the east and the advancing Soviet army restricts German control over these areas, many are killed at the hospitals in 1944 and 1945 by lethal injection as part of the decentralization of the so-called euthanasia program.
