German physicians (nurses, too) were a rich source of recruits to the Nazi cause — professionally speaking, the richest:
It is worthy of emphasis that although many professions (including law) were "taken in" by Nazi philosophy, doctors and nurses had a peculiarly strong attraction to it. Robert N. Proctor (1988) notes that physicians joined the Nazi party in droves (nearly 50% by 1945), much higher than any other profession. Physicians were seven times more likely to join the SS than other employed German males. Nurses were also major collaborators....
