During the German Nazi regime, human experimentation was carried out on large numbers of prisoners in concentration camps throughout World War II.

Experiments at Dachau concentration camp from 1942 to 1945, investigated immunization for treatment of malaria. Healthy inmates were infected by mosquitoes and after contracting the disease, the subjects were treated with various drugs to test their relative efficiency. Over 1,000 people were used in these experiments, and of those, more than half died as a result.

At Buchenwald concentration camp during 1943 and 1944, experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of various poisons. The poisons were secretly administered to experimental subjects in their food – the victims died as a result.

Doctors’ Trial

On August 19, 1947, the Nazi doctors captured by Allied forces were put on trial in USA vs. Karl Brandt et al., which is commonly known as the Doctors’ Trial. At the trial, several of the doctors argued in their defense that there was no international law regarding medical experimentation.

In response, a ten point memorandum was drafted entitled Permissible Medical Experiment. It went on to be known as the Nuremberg Code. The code calls for such standards as;

* voluntary consent of patients
* avoidance of unnecessary pain and suffering, and
* there must be a belief that the experimentation will not end in death or disability.

Point 7 of the code stated;

Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death.

However, the Code was not cited in any of the findings against the defendants and never made it into either German or American medical law.

Was it because human experimentation was secretly being carried out in America?

    • Who needs a new law to know this was wrong? Follow the Hippocratic Oath "I will apply dietic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice."

    • I had known this for quite some time... but it was sobering to see it at the new "topography of terror" museum in Berlin (I was there recently)... but the fact is... several high ranking Nazi officials were essentially pardoned and / or recruited by allied intelligence agencies after the Nuremberg Trials. It's fucked. There is a lot of corruption surrounding WWII... as there seems to be with every war, I suppose.

      With this in mind... the current state of corruption in our country should be of no surprise to any of us. It follows that descendants of the Nazi party may have had an influence on our country during it's (probably) most "industrious" period.

      I, personally, think that the Nazi mindset is still alive in our government. Which is to say that I think every federal agency that we have is full of fascist / elitist scumbags that favor power above all else.

      There I said it.
