Nazis killed 200 000 'misfits'

Berlin - Some 200 000 handicapped, mentally ill and other institutional patients whose lives the Nazis deemed worthless were killed under the Third Reich during World War II, German officials said on Tuesday as they presented new research into the killings.

Data compiled by the German Federal Archive in a three-year project list hundreds of hospitals and clinics in Germany as well as present-day Austria, Poland and Czech Republic where patients or people the Nazis viewed as social misfits were gassed, drugged or starved to death - the most comprehensive look yet at the scope of the Nazis' programme to exterminate "worthless lives".

The effort includes detailed records from Adolf Hitler's Reich chancellery that came to light in the archives of the East German secret police, the Stasi, after Germany reunified in 1990, said Klaus Oldenhage, the national archive's deputy head. Many other records were destroyed during wartime bombings.
