Context:
The Bavarian Justice Ministry initiated proceedings of criminal prosecution as a reaction to the interview. The Zentrale Stelle der Landesjustizverwaltungen zur Aufklärung nationalsozialistischer Verbrechen (the central authority of the judicial administrations of the German Länder for the clarification of National Socialist crimes) opened preliminary proceedings. The authorities looked through Stasi-files from the secret police of East Germany (GDR)[citation needed] and demanded Der Spiegel hand over the tape recordings of the Münch interview in order to determine to what extent the public prosecutor should act. The assumptions of possible participations in National Socialist crimes[12] were based on three indications:
participation in the duty at the
selection ramp,[13]
participation in selections directly within the concentration camp[14]
participation in experiments with human material leading to the death of the test persons.[15]
The criminal proceedings against Dr. Münch were dropped in January 2000 due to "progressed dementia".[16] One year later, Dr. Münch died.
