Euthanasia elicited resistance especially from those affected and their relatives, but also from clerical circles. The massive, in part public, protests by the church led Hitler to discontinue Operation »T4« on 24 August 1941. This, however, had no effect on the continuation of other existing euthanasia programs (NS-children euthanasia, Operation »14f13«) and the development of new ones (decentralized institutional murder or »wild euthanasia,« »Ostarbeiter«).
