"Although the T4 experts refused to make concessions to accommodate
local differences in their centralization efforts, they had to accept
political realities in the newly annexed areas of the German Reich.
They complained that in the protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia
handicapped patients had remained in Czech hospitals administered by
Czech physicians and had been neither sterilized nor killed, adding
that in prague there was even a ward for handicapped Jewish patients
with a Jewish physician. German patients had been concentrated in two
hospitals - one in Bohemia and one in Moravia - and had from there
been transferred to the Sudentenland for sterilization and killing;
the similar removal of 700 ethnic Germans from the independent puppet
state of Slovakia led to rumors that they had been "turned into soap
[zu Seife verkocht]..." [1]


"Rarely did the T4 experts meet the kind of opposition they
encountered in a Wurttemberg institution for deaf-mute children. The
warden, a Swiss national named Heinrich Hermann, opposed the transfer
of his charges, using the word "Killed [getotet]" while discussing
their fate with the visiting T4 representatives. Unused to such blunt
language, the T4 experts, who consistently used euphemisms to describe
the killings, reported on this dispute with Hermann in detail,
demanding that "such foreign national" be removed from such a
sensitive position. [2]
