'''Action T4''' (German: '''Aktion T4''') was the mass [[murder]] via involuntary euthanasia, from July 1939 to August 1941, of those deemed "defective" by the [[Nazi Party]], overseen by [[Philipp Bouhler]] and [[Karl Brandt]]. It is unknown how many were killed during Action T4, but it is known to be over 70, 273. Several reasons have been suggested, chiefly [[eugenics]] and racial hygiene.
