:sm (20):
IOf 200 people subjected to these experiments, 80 died outright and the remainder were executed.
I visited Dachau once some years ago and purchased a book in the bookshop about the Holocaust...and, yes, that picture is in that book. What Arrow describes is exactly what happened. It just says a Nazi prisoner of war...no mention of age or anything else about him. Sad picture actually.
This is the text that went with the picture:
High altitude
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1942, Sigmund Rascher and others conducted high-altitude experiments on prisoners at Dachau. Eager to find out how best to save German pilots forced to eject at high altitude, they placed inmates into low-pressure chambers that simulated altitudes as high as 68,000 feet and monitored their physiological response as they succumbed and died. Rascher was said to dissect victims' brains while they were still alive to show that high-altitude sickness resulted from the formation of tiny air bubbles in the blood vessels of a certain part of the brain. Of 200 people subjected to these experiments, 80 died outright and the remainder were executed.
May I respectful remind everyone that most of the German people were not Nazi's.
There was about a small percentage that were real Nazi's , a majority just followed and the rest just decided to follow up.
(Human Animal Herd behavior)
Most Germans did not agree with Hitler's plans, but what can you do when like 99% of your town thinks it is a good idea. You just shut up and move along, unless you want the Gestapo on your doorstep.
This is not a defense against the atrocities of the Nazi´s but to say that not ALL German people were evil and bad.
There were Germans in the Resistance, and even tried to oust Hitler and surrender to the Allies.
Too bad they failed many times.
That is why many Germans said in the end "Ich Habe es nicht gewüst", "I did not know".
Most Germans were not even aware of concentration camps.
But let's hope it NEVER happens again!!
