The Nazi regime was possibly the best military power in the world. Ideals of the Nazis party corrupted members of many professions. Even the physicians who pledged the Hippocratic Oath, only to safeguard human life, were affected. A prime example of this is Josef Mengele, who conducted terrible experiments on twins at Auschwitz. Most criminals have a bad backstory to base their hatred from. Mengele, however, had no troubled past that could have predicted his murderous tendencies. He was a witty, rich kid who got excellent grades (Stockton, “How Josef Mengele Became The Angel Of Death”). He was an intelligent child that did unspeakable things as he got older. He had a lot of friends in school, and everyone seemed to like him (Stockton, “How

They were not required to do hard work (Rosenberg, “A History of Mengele’s Gruesome Experiments on Twins”). He did not want his subjects to be forced to hard labor. They had some of the best living conditions until trucks came to take them to the laboratories (Rosenberg, “A History of Mengele’s Gruesome Experiments on Twins”). Mengele made sure his subjects were in a healthy, fit condition before doing experiments on them to get the best results.
Mengele never wanted anything to interfere with his experiments. In Auschwitz, his surgical ward was impeccably clean, and his syringes were always sterilized (Wiesenthal, “The Murderers Among Us”). He kept everything clean and organized so his work would be precise. His experiments on these young victims were like a sick parody of science (Allen 54). He felt as though he was doing it for the greater …show more content…
He would take mass transfusions of blood from one twin to the other (Rosenberg, “A History of Mengele’s Gruesome Experiments on Twins”). He did random experiments just to see what would happen. He did his experiments and surgeries without anesthesia (Rosenberg, “A History of Mengele’s Gruesome Experiments on Twins”). He did not care if it brought pain to the kids.
When Mengele did something to one twin he could compare it to the other. He would give one twin a disease like tuberculosis and keep the other one healthy (Rosenberg, “A History of Mengele’s Gruesome Experiments on Twins”). He did this to see what affects the disease had on the body. When one twin died, he killed the other one as well (Rosenberg, “A History of Mengele’s Gruesome Experiments on Twins”). He did this to thoroughly compare the twins.
Mengele would kill his subjects on purpose just to see the after death measurements and examinations. He often used syringes for injecting phenol, benzene or air, this would kill the patients within a few seconds (Wiesenthal, “The Murderers Among Us”). He chose not to give the other twin a long death so their bodies would be fresh. He would then compare their bodies and see what the disease did to it (Rosenberg, “A History of Mengele’s Gruesome Experiments on Twins”). He would spend hours doing autopsies just to see what the disease did to the body. The final experiment was the autopsies (Rosenberg, “A History of
