Ghastly Experiments Were Conducted On Prisoners By Nazis For Medical Research
The book is called "The Third Reich at War: How the Nazis Led Germany from Conquest to Disaster", and has been authored by Richard Evans.
According to a report in the Telegraph, the book indicates that medicine was both dominant in the world of science under the Third Reich, and closely allied to the Nazi project.
German scientists used to conduct experiments on concentration camp inmates to gratify their own cruel impulses, according to Evans.
Much of what scientists did under Hitler's rule was regarded as "normal science", subject to standard protocols of peer review in conferences and journals.
The infamous Dr Josef Mengele's research at Auschwitz, in particular, shows how the system worked.
His experiments there were intended to be a contribution to his second doctorate, the Habilitation, which all German academics needed to qualify for a university professorship.
Under his teacher's guidance, Mengele selected twins from the trainloads of Jews who arrived and injected them with chemicals to see if they reacted differently from one another.
He collected prisoners with physical abnormalities, such as heterochromia - having a different colour in each eye - to investigate if their condition was hereditary.
He treated gipsy and other children for starvation-related diseases, using vitamins and sulphonamides, to see if there were hereditary differences in their response to the therapy.
