  Nazi Experiments     Malaria Experiments to investigate immunization for and treatment of malaria. The victims were infected by mosquitoes or by injections of extracts of the mucous glands of mosquitoes. After having contracted malaria the victims were treated with various drugs to test their relative efficacy. Over 1,000 victims were used in these experiments. Many died and others suffered severe pain and permanent disability. Freezing Experiments to investigate the most effective means of treating persons who had been severely chilled or frozen. The victims were forced to remain in a tank of ice water for up to 3 hours. Extreme rigor developed in a short time. Numerous victims died in the course of these experiments. After the survivors were severely chilled, rewarming was attempted by various means. In another series of experiments, the victims were kept naked outdoors for many hours at temperatures below freezing. The victims screamed with pain as their bodies froze.  <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 80%; font-family: Georgia, serif;">Sulfanilamide Experiments to investigate the effectiveness of sulfanilamide. Wounds deliberately inflicted on the victims were infected with bacteria such as streptococcus, gas gangrene, and tetanus. Circulation of blood was interrupted by tying off blood vessels at both ends of the wound to create a condition similar to that of a battlefield wound. Infection was aggravated by forcing wood shavings and ground glass into the wounds. The infection was treated with sulfanilamide and other drugs to determine their effectiveness. Many victims died as a result of these experiments and others suffered serious injury and intense agony. <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 140%; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 80%; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Spotted Fever (Typhus) Experiments to investigate the effectiveness of spotted fever and other vaccines.
