# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
From 1933 to 1945, Nazi Germany carried out a campaign to "cleanse" German society of individuals viewed as biological threats to the nation's "health." The Nazis enlisted the help of physicians and medically trained geneticists, psychiatrists, and anthropologists to develop racial health policies. These policies began with the mass sterilization of many people in hospitals and other institutions and ended with the near annihilation of European Jewry.

Medical Experiments in the Third Reich

Unethical medical experimentation (without patient consent or any safeguards) carried out during the Third Reich may be divided into three categories.
1. Experiments dealing with the survival of military personnel
Many experiments in the camps intended to facilitat e the survival of in the field. For example, at Axis military personnel S cientists there also carried out so-called freezing experiments on Dachau, physicians from the German air force and from the German Experimental Institution for Aviation conducted high-altitude experiments on prisoners to determine the maximum altitude from which crews of damaged aircraft could parachute to safety. prisoners to find an effective treatment for hypothermia. Prisoners were also used to test various methods of making seawater drinkable.
2. Experiments to test drugs and treatments
aimed to develop and test drugs and treatment methods for injuries and illnesses which German military and occupation personnel encountered in the field. At the German concentration camps of Other experiments Sachsenhausen, Dachau, Natzweiler, Buchenwald, and Neuengamme, scientists used camp inmates t o test immunization compounds and antibodies for the prevention and treatment of contagious diseases, including malaria, typhus, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, yellow fever, and infectious hepatitis. Physicians at Ravensbrück conducted experiments in bone-grafting and tested newly developed sulfa (sulfanilamide) drugs. At Natzweiler and Sachsenhausen, prisoners were exposed to phosgene and mustard gas in order to test possible antidotes.
3. Experiments to advance Nazi racial and ideological goals
A third category of medical experimentation sought to advance the racial and ideological tenets of the Nazi worldview. The most infamous were the experiments of at Auschwitz. He also directed experiments on Josef Mengele on twins of all ages Additional Roma (Gypsies), as did Werner Fischer at Sachsenhausen, to determine how different "races" withstood various contagious diseases. The research of August Hirt at Strasbourg University also intended to establish "Jewish racial inferiority." gruesome experiments meant to further Nazi racial goals included a series of sterilization experiments, undertaken primarily at Auschwitz and Ravensbrück. S cientists tested a number of methods in an effort to develop an efficient and inexpensive procedure for the mass sterilization of Jews, Roma, and other groups Nazi leaders considered to be racially or genetically undesirable.

The Nuremberg Code

The Nuremberg Code was created In the aftermath of the discovery of the camp experiments and subsequent trials to address abuses committed by medical professionals during the Holocaust. The Nuremberg Code included the principle of informed consent and required standards for research.
