It is shown by the evidence that Clauberg later carried out sterilization experiments on Jewesses at Auschwitz. Similar experiments were carried out in other concentration camps by SS doctors who were subordinate to Grawitz. It is evident that Poppendick knew of these sterilization experiments, although it is not shown that he was criminally connected with them. TYPHUS EXPERIMENTS It is not clear from the evidence that Poppendick was criminally connected with, or had knowledge of, the nature of the typhus experiments at Buchenwald, or the type of subjects upon which they were conducted. INCENDIARY BOMB EXPERIMENTS There is some evidence in the record to the effect that after incendiary bomb experiments were completed at Buchenwald, reports of the experiments were forwarded to Poppendick and Mrugowsky. It is evident that through the reports Poppendick gained knowledge of the nature of the experiments, but the record fails to show criminal responsibility of the defendant in connection therewith. PHLEGMON EXPERIMENTS The evidence clearly proves Poppendick’s knowledge of these experiments, but it fails to show the defendant’s criminal connection therewith. POLYGAL EXPERIMENTS The record does not show Poppendick’s knowledge of or connection with these experiments. HORMONE EXPERIMENTS The prosecution contends that the evidence shows Poppendick’s criminal responsibility in connection with a series of experiments conducted at Buchenwald by Dr. Varnet, a Danish physician who claimed to have discovered a method of curing homosexuality by transplantation of an artificial gland. Under date 15 July 1944, Poppendick wrote to Dr. Ding at the concentration camp Buchenwald as follows: “By request of the Reichsfuehrer SS the Danish doctor SS Sturmbannfuehrer Dr. Varnet has been given opportunity to continue his hormone research with the SS, particularly the development of his artificial gland. The Reichsfuehrer SS anticipates certain results from the treatment of homosexuals with Vamet’s artificial gland. The technical preparations have come to such a point that experiments on human beings can be started within a reasonable space of time. “As SS Standartenfuehrer Dr. Lolling informed me, the concentration camp Weimar-Buchenwald has been directed to make available 5 prisoners for SS Sturmbannfuehrer Varnet’s experiments. These prisoners will be made available to SS Sturmbannfuehrer Varnet by the camp physician at any time. “SS Sturmbannfuehrer Varnet intends to go to Buchenwald shortly in order to make certain necessary preliminary tests on these prisoners. In case there will be special laboratory tests, you are requested to assist Varnet within the scope of your possibilities. “Particulars on Varnet’s research were sent today to the camp physician of Weimar-Buchenwald for his information.”
