SIGMUND RASCHER • DR. SIGMUND RASCHER WAS THE LEADER OF MAJORITY OF THE EXPERIMENTS THAT WERE CONDUCTED ON THE VICTIMS AT THEDACHAU CONCENTRATION CAMP. • THESE TESTS WERE SELFISHLY CONDUCTED ON THE VICTIMS BECAUSE THEGERMANS WANTED TO FIGURE OUT SOLUTIONS TO BETTER THEM SELVES AND SAVE LIVES IN THE GERMAN AIR FORCE. • THEY DECIDED TO PERFORM TESTS LIKE THE H " IGH ALTITUDE" TEST TO DETERMINE WHAT EFFECTS THAT HIGH ALTITUDE HAD ON THE BRAIN.

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THE HIGH ALTITUDE EXPERIMENT The people subjected to this test suffered huge mental and physical pain. Man about to be tested on. Man after experimentation.

VICTIMS OF THE EXPERIMENTS • OVER 1, 200 PEOPLE WERE USED IN THESE EXPERIMENTS AND MORE THAN HALF DIED AS A RESULT. • VICTIMS WERE EITHER EXECUTED OR DIED DURING THE EXPERIMENTAL PROCESS. • VICTIMS WHO DID SURVIVE MIGHT HAVE RATHERED DIED. • VICTIMS HAD PERMANENT MENTAL AND PHYSICAL PAIN. SOME WERE SUFFERING FROM LOST ARMS, LEGS, AND OTHER DISABILITIES. • MOST PEOPLE WERE KILLED JUST TO HIDE EVIDENCE OF EXPERIMENTATION.

HE LED INHUMANE TESTS FROM ABOUT 1937 TO 1945. • THE EXPERIMENTS: MANY OF THEM WERE THOUGHT UP BYDR. ISHII HIMSELF, AND THE VICTIMS RANGED FROM FETUSES TO THE ELDERLY--INFECTING SUBJECTS WITH POTENT DISEASES, VIVISECTIONS WITHOUT ANESTHESIA, HIGH PRESSURE CHAMBERS, FREEZING PEOPLE THEN THAWING THEM ALIVE, SHOOTING PRISONERS IN THE STOMACH TO PRACTICE REMOVING BULLETS, SEAWATER INJECTIONS, PARTIAL LIVER AND BRAIN REMOVALS, REMOVING BODY PARTS AND ATTACHING THEM IN UNNATURAL WAYS, SPINNING PEOPLE TO DEATH IN A CENTRIFUGE, LETHAL DOSES OF XRAYS, BURNING BY FLAMETHROWERS, PHOSPHORUS AND CHLORINE GAS, ANIMAL BLOOD INJECTIONS, BURYING ALIVE, EXPLODING GRENADES AT VARIOUS DISTANCES TO TEST SHRAPNEL SPREAD, AND MUCH MORE. • BOMBS CONTAINING PLAGUE, CHOLERA, AND ANTHRAX WERE DROPPED ON CHINESE CITIES.
