(_E_) _Sulfanilamide Experiments._ From about July 1942 to about
September 1943 experiments to investigate the effectiveness of
sulfanilamide were conducted at the Ravensbrueck concentration camp for
the benefit of the German Armed Forces. Wounds deliberately inflicted on
the experimental subjects were infected with bacteria such as
streptococcus, gas gangrene, and tetanus. Circulation of blood was
interrupted by tying off blood vessels at both ends of the wound to
create a condition similar to that of a battlefield wound. Infection was
aggravated by forcing wood shavings and ground glass into the wounds.
The infection was treated with sulfanilamide and other drugs to
determine their effectiveness. Some subjects died as a result of these
experiments and others suffered serious injury and intense agony. The
defendants Karl Brandt, Handloser, Rostock, Schroeder, Genzken,
Gebhardt, Blome, Rudolf Brandt, Mrugowsky, Poppendick, Becker-Freyseng,
Oberheuser, and Fischer are charged with special responsibility for and
participation in these crimes.
(_F_) _Bone, Muscle, and Nerve Regeneration and Bone Transplantation
Experiments._ From about September 1942 to about December 1943
experiments were conducted at the Ravensbrueck concentration camp, for
the benefit of the German Armed Forces, to study bone, muscle, and nerve
regeneration, and bone transplantation from one person to another.
Sections of bones, muscles, and nerves were removed from the subjects.
As a result of these operations, many victims suffered intense agony,
mutilation, and permanent disability. The defendants Karl Brandt,
Handloser, Rostock, Gebhardt, Rudolf Brandt, Oberheuser, and Fischer are
charged with special responsibility for and participation in these
crimes.
(_G_) _Sea-water Experiments._ From about July 1944 to about September
1944 experiments were conducted at the Dachau concentration camp, for
the benefit of the German Air Force and Navy, to study various methods
of making sea-water drinkable. The subjects were deprived of all food
and given only chemically processed sea-water. Such experiments caused
great pain and suffering and resulted in serious bodily injury to the
victims. The defendants Karl Brandt, Handloser, Rostock, Schroeder,
Gebhardt, Rudolf Brandt, Mrugowsky, Poppendick, Sievers,
Becker-Freyseng, Schaefer, and Beiglboeck are charged with special
responsibility for and participation in these crimes.
