Departures of note

Rene Juchli was promoted to lieutenant colonel and appointed chief of medical staffs at the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg, where he was responsible for the medical care of the Nazi leaders on trial and personally examined them.

Juchli found Hermann Göring good‑humored, noted his suicide by cyanide before execution, and refuted Rudolf Hess's claim of amnesia—despite French and English psychiatrists confirming it—by stating he knew German, had common sense, and had found Hess's hidden diary; Hess later admitted the amnesia was faked, was sentenced to life imprisonment, and died by hanging in Spandau Prison in 1987.
