Disease in ancient man

Dr.med.Gottfried Benn (the famous poet) joined the "Sanitatsdienst" deliberately as a kind of non-political refuge (as apparently other physicians did)? How many German military doctors reacted like Oberstabsarzt Dr Moller, who saw an SS unit shoot a group of Polish "partisans" (including children aged between three and eight) and wrote a critical report to Hitler, the "Oberste Befehlshaber der Wehrmacht" (the case is documented in the Militargeschichtliches Archiv, Freiburg)? It is well known that leading military physicians such as Professor Handloser (chief of the Heeressanitatswesen) and Professor Schroder (chief of the Sanitatswesen der Luftwaffe) were responsible for crimes against humanity (see documentation Medizin ohne Menschlichkeit by A. Mitscherlich and F. Mielke, Frankfurt am Main, Fischer, 1949). Was this a consequence of blind obedience ("Kadavergehorsam" is a German slang phrase used to describe the soldier's obedience)? Such questions must be put and dealt with openly, before one can hope to see in print a fully satisfactory history of the "Deutscher Sanitatsdienst" between 1933 and 1945. F.
