(_K_) _Experiments with Poison._ In or about December 1943, and in or
about October 1944, experiments were conducted at the Buchenwald
concentration camp to investigate the effect of various poisons upon
human beings. The poisons were secretly administered to experimental
subjects in their food. The victims died as a result of the poison or
were killed immediately in order to permit autopsies. In or about
September 1944 experimental subjects were shot with poison bullets and
suffered torture and death. The defendants Genzken, Gebhardt, Mrugowsky,
and Poppendick are charged with special responsibility for and
participation in these crimes.
(_L_) _Incendiary Bomb Experiments._ From about November 1943 to about
January 1944 experiments were conducted at the Buchenwald concentration
camp to test the effect of various pharmaceutical preparations on
phosphorous burns. These burns were inflicted on experimental subjects
with phosphorous matter taken from incendiary bombs, and caused severe
pain, suffering, and serious bodily injury. The defendants Genzken,
Gebhardt, Mrugowsky, and Poppendick are charged with special
responsibility for and participation in these crimes.
7. Between June 1943 and September 1944 the defendants Rudolf Brandt and
Sievers unlawfully, willfully, and knowingly committed war crimes, as
defined by Article II of Control Council Law No. 10, in that they were
principals in, accessories to, ordered, abetted, took a consenting part
in, and were connected with plans and enterprises involving the murder
of civilians and members of the armed forces of nations then at war with
the German Reich and who were in the custody of the German Reich in
exercise of belligerent control. One hundred twelve Jews were selected
for the purpose of completing a skeleton collection for the Reich
University of Strasbourg. Their photographs and anthropological
measurements were taken. Then they were killed. Thereafter, comparison
tests, anatomical research, studies regarding race, pathological
features of the body, form and size of the brain, and other tests, were
made. The bodies were sent to Strasbourg and defleshed.
