ABSTRACT

The crimes committed by August Hirt have been extensively studied since they were publicly exposed at the Nuremberg Medical Trial, which ran from December 1946 until Augsut 1947. Less well known is the so-called "normal" activity of the Anatomical Institute of the Reichsuniversitat Strassburg (RUS) directed by August Hirt between 1941 and 1944. The chapter addresses the subject of the bodies delivered to the Anatomical Institute of the RUS needs. Among the most important employees at the Strassburg Anatomical Institute were those coworkers whom Hirt brought from Frankfurt am Main: his assistants Dr. Karl Wimmer and Dr. Anton Kiesselbach and his chief technician Otto Bong. As director of the Institute, August Hirt was responsible for the anatomical education of the students at the RUS. The dissection of bodies played a central role in his teaching during the winter semesters.
