The Emperor summoned Tojo to the Imperial Palace one day before Tojo took office.

  31. Lesson Two: Nazi Concentration Camps – The Experiments

  32. Experiments • During World War II, Nazi doctors conducted as many as 30 different types of experiments on concentration-camp inmates. They performed these studies without the consent of the victims, who suffered indescribable pain, mutilation, permanent disability, or in many cases death as a result. At the Nuremberg "doctor's trial," which brought 23 German doctors to trial immediately after the war, prosecutors found 15 defendants guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity; seven were hung. Here are some of the most notorious experiments:

  33. High Altitude • In 1942, Sigmund Rascher and others conducted high-altitude experiments on prisoners at Dachau. • Eager to find out how best to save German pilots forced to eject at high altitude, they placed inmates into low-pressure chambers that simulated altitudes as high as 68,000 feet and monitored their physiological response as they succumbed and died.

  34. High Altitude • Rascher was said to dissect victims' brains while they were still alive to show that high-altitude sickness resulted from the formation of tiny air bubbles in the blood vessels of a certain part of the brain. • Of 200 people subjected to these experiments, 80 died outright and the remainder were executed.

  35. Question Five • True or False: Nazi doctors did high altitude test on prisoners because they were trying to find out how best to save German pilots forced to eject at high altitudes? • True • False

  37. Correct • Nice! Please move on to the next slide

  38. Freezing • To determine the most effective means for treating German pilots who had become severely chilled from ejecting into the ocean, or German soldiers who suffered extreme exposure on the Russian front, Rascher and others conducted freezing experiments at Dachau. • For up to five hours at a time, they placed victims into vats of icy water, either in aviator suits or naked; they took others outside in the freezing cold and strapped them down naked.

  39. Freezing • As the victims writhed in pain, foamed at the mouth, and lost consciousness, the doctors measured changes in the patients' heart rate, body temperature, muscle reflexes, and other factors. • Some 80 to 100 patients perished during these experiments.

  40. Question Six • True or False: As the victims writhed in pain, foamed at the mouth, and lost consciousness, the doctors measured changes in the patients' heart rate, body temperature, muscle reflexes, and other factors. • True • False

  43. Twins • In an effort to find ways to more effectively multiply the German race, Dr. Josef Mengele performed experiments on twins at Auschwitz in hopes of plumbing the secrets of multiple births. • After taking all the body measurements and other living data he could from selected twins, Mengele and his collaborators dispatched them with a single injection of chloroform to the heart.

  44. Twins • Of about 1,000 pairs of twins experimented upon, only about 200 pairs survived.

  45. Question Seven • Of about ______ pairs of twins experimented upon, only about ____ pairs survived? • 2000; 100 • 2000; 200 • 1000; 100 • 1000; 200

  48. Seawater • Dr. Hans Eppinger and others at Dachau conducted experiments on how to make seawater drinkable. • The doctors forced roughly 90 Gypsies to drink only seawater while also depriving them of food. • The Gypsies became so dehydrated that they reportedly licked floors after they had been mopped just to get a drop of fresh water. • The experiments caused enormous pain and suffering and resulted in serious bodily injury.

  49. Tuberculosis • To determine if people had any natural immunities to tuberculosis, and to develop a vaccine against the disease, Dr. Kurt Heissmeyer injected live tubercle bacilli (bacteria that are a major cause of TB) into the lungs of inmates at the Neuengamme concentration camp. • About 200 adult subjects died, and Heissmeyer had 20 children from Auschwitz hung in an effort to hide evidence of the experiments from approaching Allied forces.

  50. Question Eight • True or False: Seawater experiments on the gypsies made them so dehydrated that they reportedly licked floors after they had been mopped just to get a drop of fresh water. • True • False
