Germany Experiments
Germany's Secret Operations
Hitler and his army pounded Europe with their army, air, and naval forces during World War II with no signs of letting up. Germany appeared as though they had really pressed the offensive by attacking with numbers, numerous times with no apparent end in sight. After being subjected to the German military and it's tactics so many times, one would think that the Allies would have a pretty clear view of what Germany had and what to expect. But Germany continued to keep the opposition guessing on what they would do next. It was like a magician show. Germany had its blitzkrieg in one hand, while the other hand held the torturing of Jews, experiments on them, and looting of their gold and property at the same time. …show more content…
The navy conducted an experiment in which the test subject was placed under narcosis, then put into water and was allowed to slowly suffocate to see how the body cooled at different depths. But one of the more sickening experiments was the low-pressure experiment conducted by the Air Force (or the Luftwaffe) because it allowed the victim to die slowly, as he slowly lost oxygen flow to the brain. The experiment was described in a document used in the Nuremberg trials, this excerpt from the experiment illustrates the Nazi testing, "the third experiment of this type took such an extraordinary course that I called an SS physician of the camp as a witness, since I had worked on these experiments all by myself. It was a continuous experiment without oxygen at a height of 12Km. Conducted on 37-year old Jew in good general condition. Breathing continued up to 30 minutes. After 4 minutes the experimental subject began to perspire and to wiggle his head, after 5 minutes cramps occurred, between 6 and 20 minutes breathing increased in speed and the experimental subject became unconscious; from 11-30 minutes breathing slowed down to three breaths per minute, finally stopping altogether. Severest cyanosis developed in between and foam appeared at the mouth a heavy subarchnoid oedema was found in the brain. In the veins and arteries of the brain a considerable quantity of air was discovered"-SS Untersturmfuhrer Rascher
