Nazi Medical Experiments

Adolf Hitler surrounded himself with a small clique of fanatical, ruthless henchmen - a violent group of outsiders who rose to power in the Third Reich and established political and economic institutions of legitimized terror. Hitler's henchmen were found to be quite psychologically normal. They were men of fine standing, husbands who morning and night kissed their wives, fathers who tucked their children into bed. But they were men often seen as the very personifications of evil. Inhuman acts were an everyday occurrence - killings, mass gassing of men, women and children, brutalities, cruelties, tortures, atrocities, medical experiments .. The Nazi doctors would torture Jewish children, Gypsy children and many others. Patients were put into pressure chambers, tested with drugs, castrated, frozen to death, and exposed to various other traumas. At Auschwitz Josef Mengele (picture above), The Angel Of Death, did a number of twin studies, and these twins were usually murdered after the experiment was over and their bodies dissected.
