Aktion Brandt (Operation Brandt) is an umbrella term for the decentralized murders of sick people in sanatoriums in Nazi Germany.[1]: 123, 135  In some institutions, sick people were deliberately subjected to overcrowding, neglect, and malnutrition; in other institutions, the transferred inmates were murdered on a large scale. The action, named after Hitler's doctor and general commissioner for medical and health services Karl Brandt, partially succeeded Aktion T4.
