Brack was a Nazi war criminal, the organizer of the Euthanasia Programme, Action T4, where the Nazi state systematically murdered disabled German people. He became a member of the NSDAP and the SS in 1929. In 1936, he was chief of Office 2 (Amt II) in the Chancellery of the Führer in Berlin. The office handled matters concerning the Reich Ministries, armed forces, Nazi Party, clemency petitions and complaints received by the Führer from all parts of Germany. In December 1939, Brack gave August Becker the task of arranging gas killing operations of mental patients and other people that the Nazis deemed “life unworthy of life.” known as Action T4. Brack, along with Hitler's personal physician Dr. Karl Brandt, developed a method of serilizing concentration camp inmates with x-rays so they could be sent to work in German industries without fear that they would propogate. Brack was arrested after the war and prosecuted in 1947 at the Doctors’ Trial in Nuremberg. He was found guilty and hanged.
