A definition or brief description of Werner Heyde.

(1902-1964) SS-Standartenfuehrer who headed the eithanasia program from 1939 to 1942, and directed psychiatrists who studied camp prisoners; not indicted but testified in the Medical Case (NMT); later assumed a false identity and went into practice. In 1959, he confessed who he really was to the police and he was arrested. In 1962, an indictment was filed against him, and just days before his trial was to begin, he committed suicide in his cell on February 13, 1964.
