MEMORANDUM FOR: Capt. Norman A. Stoll, JAGD, Office U.S. Chief of
Counsel for the Prosecution of Axis Criminality
SUBJECT : Condition of Health of Mr. Gustav Krupp von Bohlen
1. Mr. Gustav Krupp von Bohlen was examined by me today, and the
following findings are noticed.
2. Subject has suffered from progressive arteriosclerosis and senility
since 1939. He suffered an attack of cerebral thrombosis in 1942, which
resulted in a temporary facial paralysis. About a year ago he lost
bladder and sphincter control.
3. At the present time he is bedridden, has to be fed and to be cared
for by nurses. He has no insight into his condition or situation
whatsoever and is unable to follow or keep up any conversation.
4. I do not believe that subject can be moved without serious detriment
to his health or that interrogation would be of any value due to his
loss of speech and complete lack of any understanding. His course will
be progressively down-hill.
5. In my judgment subject is not mentally competent to stand trial in a
court of justice.
