As soon as the Germans began vacating the occupied territories of Ukraine, a series of court trials was commenced against not only the German military but also the local civilian population, which was accused of cooperating with the enemy and assisting in or independently committing crimes against Soviet residents. One such set of trials prosecuted the employees of medical institutions with a psychiatric profile, for cooperating with the occupiers and killing psychiatric hospital patients. Having been stored in the closed archives of the secret police, which were only recently opened, these trial materials were not able to be accessed by researchers. With few exceptions, these documents have never been analyzed and are not in scholarly circulation.
