Nazi Medical Experiments

Nazi experimentation on humans refers to the medical experimentations that the German Nazi regime performed on large numbers of people in the concentration camps during World War II. At Auschwitz, some inmates were selected and became subjects to various experiments which were allegedly designed to help the German military in combat situations, to help the military personnel that had been injured, and to advance the racial ideology that was backed by the Third Reich. Test on twins were performed. They were done in concentration camps and were created to show similarities and differences in genetics and eugenics, and to see if the human body can be unnaturally manipulated. Over 1500 sets of twins had experiments performed on them by Dr. Josef Mengele, the central leader, fewer than 200 individuals survived the studies. The sets of twins were arranged by age and sex and kept in barracks between the test, which included things such as injecting different chemicals into the eyes of the twins to see if this would change their colors, and also sewing the twins together hoping to create conjoined twins. In 1942, the experiments were conducted to learn how to treat hypothermia. One of the studies forced the subjects to endure a tank of ice water for up to three hours. Another stud had inmates naked in the open for several hours with temperatures below freezing. The experiments assessed different ways of re-warming the survivors.

Nazi Eugenics

Eugenics is described as "the applied science or the bio-social movement which advocates the use of practices aimed at improving the genetic composition of a population" 

Nazi eugenics were Nazi Germany's racially-based social policies that placed the improvement of the Aryan race (idea that consists in the Indo-European speakers being a subrace of the Caucasian race) through eugenics at the center of Nazis . The people under experiments were called or described as "life unworthy of life". This group was formed by criminals, poor and weak people, homosexuals, jews, polish and persons with other ideologies. The principal objective was the total eradication of this person from the heredity chain. More than 400 000 persons were sterilized agaisnt their will and more than 50 000 were killed in this time (1933-1945).

Hitler's views on eugenics:

Adolf Hitler read racial hygiene tracts during his imprisonment in Landsberg. He thought Germany would become stronger again if t the principles of racial hygiene and eugenics were applied in the society. He strongly believed that the nation had become weak, being corrupted by degenerate elements into its bloodstream so this, had to be removed really fast. He had the idea that the strong and the racially pure men should have more children, and that the weak and racially impure should be sterilized by force.
