(_B_) _Freezing Experiments._ From about August 1942 to about May 1943
experiments were conducted at the Dachau concentration camp, primarily
for the benefit of the German Air Force, to investigate the most
effective means of treating persons who had been severely chilled or
frozen. In one series of experiments the subjects were forced to remain
in a tank of ice water for periods up to 3 hours. Extreme rigor
developed in a short time. Numerous victims died in the course of these
experiments. After the survivors were severely chilled, rewarming was
attempted by various means. In another series of experiments, the
subjects were kept naked outdoors for many hours at temperatures below
freezing. The victims screamed with pain as parts of their bodies froze.
The defendants Karl Brand, Handloser, Schroeder, Gebhardt, Rudolf
Brandt, Mrugowsky, Poppendick, Sievers, Becker-Freyseng, and Weltz are
charged with special responsibility for and participation in these
crimes.
(_C_) _Malaria Experiments._ From about February 1942 to about April
1945 experiments were conducted at the Dachau concentration camp in
order to investigate immunization for and treatment of malaria. Healthy
concentration-camp inmates were infected by mosquitoes or by injections
of extracts of the mucous glands of mosquitoes. After having contracted
malaria the subjects were treated with various drugs to test their
relative efficacy. Over 1,000 involuntary subjects were used in these
experiments. Many of the victims died and others suffered severe pain
and permanent disability. The defendants Karl Brandt, Handloser,
Rostock, Gebhardt, Blome, Rudolf Brandt, Mrugowsky, Poppendick, and
Sievers are charged with special responsibility for and participation in
these crimes.
(_D_) _Lost (Mustard) Gas Experiments._ At various times between
September 1939 and April 1945 experiments were conducted at
Sachsenhausen, Natzweiler, and other concentration camps for the benefit
of the German Armed Forces to investigate the most effective treatment
of wounds caused by Lost gas. Lost is a poison gas which is commonly
known as mustard gas. Wounds deliberately inflicted on the subjects were
infected with Lost. Some of the subjects died as a result of these
experiments and others suffered intense pain and injury. The defendants
Karl Brandt, Handloser, Blome, Rostock, Gebhardt, Rudolf Brandt, and
Sievers are charged with special responsibility for and participation in
these crimes.
