Erhard Wetzel Letter

This document, officially translated into English to be used by the Allies after the end of WWII, applies the potential use of "gassing devices" to the "Jewish questions."

By way of background ... on October 25, 1941, Erhard Wetzel wrote to Heinrich Lohse recommending that the head of the euthanasia program (for killing mentally and physically handicapped Germans) should build "gassing devices" to eliminate the Jews. The Official Translation of the letter (referred to as Document 365) begins as follows:

Referring to my letter of 18 October 1941, you are informed that Oberdienstleiter Brack of the Chancellory of the Fuhrer has declared himself ready to collaborate in the manufacture of the necessary shelters as well as the gassing apparatus.
