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
Hayden Becker
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

MUSTEARD GAS
- 1939-1945
- they did it to investigate the most efective treatments of wounds caused by lost gas
Thomas S.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
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
above 20km(68,000)ftMalaria
- Around Feb. 1942 to about April 1945 experiments were conducted at Dachau to investigate immunizations for treatment of
Malaria- 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
had come up with.Max J.S.
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
