German Red Cross urged to admit Nazi entanglement
The German Red Cross close involvement in Hitler s Nazi regime should be officially admitted, historians and medics have said. One historian called the German Red Cross an SS-riddled ambulance corps.
The Red Cross needs to come clean about its involvement with the Nazi regime
Between 1933 and 1945, the German Red Cross was closely complicit in Hitler s murderous regime, according to historians and medics on the eve of a university conference.
Ahead of online lectures to be hosted in Erlangen in northern Bavaria on Saturday, co-organizer Horst Seithe called the Red Cross post-war German organization (DRK) now sworn to neutrality to officially admit its wartime guilt on January 25, when it marks 100 years since its founding in the Bavarian city of Bamberg back in 1921.
