SERVATIUS: Q: Witness, you were speaking about the affair at Leipzig, and regarding this deformed child, what order did Hitler give you? A: He gave me the order to talk with the physicians who were taking care of the child and to, first of all, test the statements of the father as to their veracity. If they were correct, then in his name I was to inform the physicians that they were permitted to carry out Euthanasia.
