Dr Moritz Flamm ( disappeared in 1934 ) was a German forensic medical examiner, who also previously served in World War 1, who was a close associate to Josef Hartinger. Dr Flamm was the Bavarian medical examiner responsible for conducting autopsies in criminal investigations and had become a popular public servant. In April 1933 the physician was brought by Hartinger to Dachau Concentration Camp to investigate the reported deaths of 4 political prisoners who were caught trying to escape the camp. However, under further inspection, Flamm found the deaths to be unusual and pointed out that each of the murdered prisoners were Jewish. This ultimately led to Hartinger's case being put together against the SS and Heinrich Himmler which led to the firing of the camp's first commandant Hilmar Wäckerle. However, when trying to push the case higher up the Judicial System it was silenced by the Nazis until 1945 when the Americans found it and used it in the Nuremberg trials.
