Dr Mengele Experiments

A lot of horrible experiments were constructed during World War 2, but the most horrifying were those by Dr. Mengele. Dr. Josef Mengele was a physician in the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. He was notorious for the selection of victims to be killed in the gas chambers and for performing deadly human experiments on prisoners. His experiments were very gruesome as well as deadly. Dr. Mengele was born March 16, 1911 and died at the age of 67 on February 7, 1979. He was part of the Schutzstaffel branch of the Nazi Army. The nickname “Angel of Death” was given to him because he killed his patients while being their caregiver. In January 1937, at the Institute for Hereditary Biology and Racial Hygiene, he became the

Mengele performed other experiments such as high altitude limitations, incendiary bomb experiments, and freezing experiments. The high-altitude experiments were to investigate the limits of human endurance and existence at extremely high altitudes. The prisoners were placed in the low-pressure chamber and thereafter the simulated altitude therein was raised. Many victims died as a result of these experiments and others suffered grave injury, torture, and ill-treatment. The incendiary bomb experiments were used to test the effect of various pharmaceutical preparations on phosphorous burns. These burns were inflicted on the victims with phosphorous matter taken from incendiary bombs, and caused severe pain, suffering, and serious bodily injury. Finally, freezing experiments were used to investigate the most effective means of treating persons who had been severely chilled or frozen. The victims were forced to remain in a tank of ice water for up to 3 hours. Extreme rigor developed in a short time. Numerous victims died in the course of these experiments. After the survivors were severely chilled, rewarming was attempted by various means. In another series of experiments, the victims were kept naked outdoors for many hours at temperatures below freezing. The victims screamed with pain as their bodies
