Gerhard Rose

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gerhard Rose was an expert on tropical medicine who was tried for war crimes at the end of World War II.

Rose studied at the University of Breslau and the University of Berlin. After completing his studies he worked at the Robert Koch Institute and Heidelberg University. He worked in China from 1929 to 1936.

In 1939, Rose became a member of the Luftwaffe medical corps, where he became a brigadier general. During the war, he carried out experiments on the prisoners in the Dachau concentration camp and Buchenwald, in which he investigated malaria and typhus. He attempted to obtain a research position in the United States, but was arrested at war's end.

During the Doctor's Trial at Nuremberg, he was found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Sentenced to life imprisonment, he later had his sentence mitigated to twenty years.
