[edit] Fritz Fischer (medical doctor)

Is Fritz Fischer, the Nazi doctor still alive ? He was sentenced to life imprisonment for war crimes, but was released in 1954. What happened after that ? Jay 12:04, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

According to this Word document (see School of History at the University of Kent):

...fing eine zweite Karriere bei dem Chemiekonzern Böhringer in Ingelheim an.43 Im Jahre 1998 lebte er schwerhörig und 85 Jahre alt, in Ockenheim.

"...began a second career [after his release from prison in 1954] at the chemical company Böhringer in Ingelheim. In 1998 he lived in Ockenheim, 85 years old and hard of hearing."

According to [1]:

Er [Fritz Fischer] gibt nach der Haftentlassung seine Approbation (staatliche Zulassung als Arzt) zurück, nimmt eine Arbeitsstelle an, die ihm von amerikanischen Behörden vermittelt wird, die weit unter seiner Qualifikation liegt und verläßt sie nicht bis zum Ende seines Arbeitslebens.

"He returns his license to practice medicine after his release from prison and accepts a new job (found with the help of the U.S. authorities) far below his qualifications, which he won't leave until his retirement."

Whatever happened to him after 1998, I do not know. Lupo 09:03, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

The German Online Phonebook still lists one Dr. F. Fischer living in Ockenheim, but I have absolutely no idea whether this is the person discussed here or somebody else. It is possible, though: he'd be now 92 years old. Lupo 14:59, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
