Editing Aktion T4 (section)

==Number of euthanasia victims==
The SS functionaries and hospital staff associated with {{lang|de|Aktion&nbsp;T4}} in the German Reich were paid from the central office at {{lang|de|Tiergartenstraße}} 4 in Berlin from the spring of 1940. The SS and police from {{lang|de|[[Herbert Lange|SS-Sonderkommando Lange]]}} responsible for murdering the majority of patients in [[Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany|the annexed territories of Poland]] since October 1939, took their salaries from the normal police fund, supervised by the administration of the newly formed ''Wartheland'' district; the programme in Germany and [[occupied Poland]] was overseen by Heinrich Himmler.{{sfn|Hojan|Munro|2013}} Before 2013, it was believed that 70,000 persons were murdered in the euthanasia programme, but the [[German Federal Archives]] reported that research in the archives of former East Germany indicated that the number of victims in Germany and Austria from 1939 to 1945 was about 200,000 persons and that another 100,000 persons were victims in other European countries.<ref name="Inventar"/><ref>{{cite web |title=Euthanasie«-Morde |url=https://www.stiftung-denkmal.de/denkmaeler/gedenk-und-informationsort-fuer-die-opfer-der-ns-euthanasie-morde.html |website=Foundation the Monument for the Murdered Jews of Europe |access-date=4 March 2018 |archive-date=14 October 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171014182726/https://www.stiftung-denkmal.de/denkmaeler/gedenk-und-informationsort-fuer-die-opfer-der-ns-euthanasie-morde.html |url-status=live }}</ref> In the German T4 centres there was at least the semblance of legality in keeping records and writing letters. In Polish psychiatric hospitals no one was left behind.<!--don't know what this is supposed to mean--> Killings were inflicted using gas-vans, sealed army bunkers and machine guns; families were not informed about the murdered relatives and the empty wards were handed over to the SS.{{sfn|Hojan|Munro|2013}}
