 * Medical Experiments**
 * MUSTEARD** GAS
 * 1939-1945
 * they did it to investigate the most efective treatments of wounds caused by lost gas

above 20km(68,000)ft
 * Freezing/ Hypothermia**
 * These [|experiments] were conducted for high command
 * These conditions simulated the conditions of the armies on the Eastern front
 * The subjects were put in an icy vat of cold water or strapped down to something and left outside in sub - zero temps.
 * They tested methods to treat hypothermia with things like like sunlamp, internal irrigation, hot bath, and body heat[[image:45428.jpg]]
 * Genetics**
 * The view of the perfect race of the Nazi is blue eyes blond hair, which is known as Aryan race
 * This was the largest part of the overall plan of the Nazi
 * The Nazi measured heads, eyes, noses, and blood to try to prove they are the perfect race
 * They have come to the conclusion that all races are inclined to criminal behavior except Germans
 * High Altitude Experiments**
 * In early 1942 the German airforce wanted to find out the capacity of the human body to endure and survive at high altitude
 * They created a low- pressure chamber containing these prisoners was used to simulate the conditions of the altitudes

Malaria had come up with.
 * Malaria**
 * Around Feb. 1942 to about April 1945 experiments were conducted at Dachau to investigate immunizations for treatment of
 * Healthy inmates were infected by mosquitoes or by injections of extracts of mucoun glands of the mosquitoes
 * After infected subjects were treated with various drugs and other various substances to test their relative efficiency
 * Over 1,000 people were used in these experiments due to the amounts of deaths and various amounts of drugs and "cures" they

Test Subjects**
 * Healthy young women/men between early teens and 40 years old
 * Ignorant of what was going to happen to them
 * Freezing / Hypothermia**
 * Conducted to simulate conditions for nazi soldiers on Eastern front
 * Victims either put in icy vat of water or put outside with no clothes during winter
 * Broken into two parts: establishing temp. in which people die, and finding best way to resuscitate victims
 * Genetics**
 * Most important goal of Nazis was to create Aryan race, blonde haired blue eyed super-race of people
 * Every other race was planned to be cleansed from society through genocide
 * Heat**
 * Many kinds of heat [|experiments]
 * sun lamp, internal irrigation, hot bath
 * victims would be repeatedly put under sun lamps and heated, then later cooled until death.
 * internal irrigation- blistering hot water would be forced through victims' bowls until death
 * hot bath- victims were put in warm water and temperature was slowly increased, many victims died
 * Altitude**
 * Conducted to investigate human endurance and existence at very high altitudes
 * Conducted in low-pressure chambers that simulated conditions at up to 68.000 ft. altitude.
 * Malaria**
 * conducted to investigate immunization and treatment of malaria
 * healthy inmates were infected with extracts from mosquitoes
 * Sea water**
 * Conducted to investigate ways of making sea water drinkable for the Nazi army and Navy

Experimental table in which victims were cut open and or killed. baby that they had found preserved that's brain was taken out - performed by Dr. mengele. victim who had an eye experimentation done on him. Infection purposly given to this victim in order to see the damages and affects.
 * Freezing**
 * were conducted to simulate the conditions the army suffered
 * were conducted under the supervision of Dr. Sigmund Rascher
 * divided into two parts
 * how long it took to lower the body temperature to death.
 * how to best resuscitate the frozen victims
 * main method- put in icy vat of water
 * put victim outside naked in sub zero temperatures
 * selections were made of young healthy Jews or Russians
 * strapped victim to a stretcher outside naked
 * Sun lamp**
 * victims were placed under sun lamp, which was so hot it would burn their skin
 * some victims were froze almost til death and then put under the sun lamp
 * they would sweat too death
 * Hot Bath**
 * victims had scorthing water poured into their stomach and down throat
 * victims were put in bath of boiling water to burn to death
 * Experiments on twins**
 * twins were examined from head to toe
 * they would be allowed to keep hair for a couple days
 * later they were killed with injection of chloroform to the heart after tests were done
 * the twins had to die at the same time
 * then they were disected and the organs were saved
 * in one case twins were showered and had tubes shoved up their nose and into their lungs
 * then they were ventillated
 * in the morning the twins were placed in a water vat with hot water
 * soon they passed out
 * then they were strapped to a table and all of their hair was plucked out saving the hair root
 * finally they would inject them with a killing substance
 * their body parts would be sent all over the Germany for examination
 * Doctors**
 * Dr. Mengele- most well known and educated doctors
 * Dr. Paul Kreamer-only chose prisoners who he felt didn't deserve to live
 * Dr. Horst Schumann-suggested surgical experiments only
 * Dr. Carl Clauberg-experimented with sterilization in camps
