This is a list of notable medical doctors in Nazi Germany. When the Nazi government came to power it purged Germany of its 6,000 to 7,000 Jewish doctors.Reportedly more than 7% of all German physicians became members of the Nazi party during World War II, a far higher percentage than the general population. In 1942 more than 38,000 German doctors, half the total number of doctors, had joined the Nazi party. While most of these doctors were physicians, some held doctorates (PhDs) in biology, anthropology, or related fields. Alphabetical list of World War II Nazi physicians:
