Sitting on an operating table, deep inside the corridors ofAzchwitz soaking up camp, a man is listening to the Nazigun fire outside. He hears the innocent screams asautomatic weapons mow through crowds of familiesdeemed "unfit to sleep together". Gradually silence falls, only to bebroken again by the solitary pops of a pistol, finishing ofthose who did not die right off. It should be a sickening shadeing for this man, he should feel anger and hate, and regret for these newest additions to the Nazi stoves. Butthis man can no longer feel such sadness, such grief.Instead he feels only jealousy, jealousy for those who haddied quickly, with a bullet to the brain or the heart. Nodoubt, considering what hes been through, and what he bequeath go through still, he considers the others to be the luckyones. They leave alone not boil. They will not freeze. They will notbe diseased or hacked apart. They will not have their headsexplode in a pressurised chamber. They were the luckyones , not chosen to act as guinea pigs to further science bydying a slow painful demise at the turn over of the mostgruesome members of the Nazi party, the "Nazi Doctors".When World War 2 ended in 1945, over eleventhousand people had been exterminated(p4 Freidman) inthe Nazis effort to "racially purify" Germany and itsterritories. It seemed tat the vast majority of these killingshad taken place in concentration camps, by releasingZyklon-B(p68 Guthman) in bollix up chambers disguised asshowers. As the allies began holding the first-class honours degree war criminaltrials, however, it was quickly seen that a secret, genocidefar much hideous than was previously suspected, had takenplace. Worse still, the killers were not radical soldiers, exclusivelyrespected members of the German scientificand Medicalcommunity. The German government had given the"Doctors of death" (p34, Gilbert) endless supplies ofsubjects to experiment on in any way they pleased. somewhat experiments were to benefit the army. They included high raising tests, as well as the bodies reactions to freezingtemperatures.(p2, Net) Other experiments were called forby the nazis themselves, such as tests in transmitted traits, mindcontrolling drugs and mass sterilization.(p3-5, Net) Therewere medicine tests and more commonly, tests applydiseases without any known cures. The most gruesometests however, were fabricated in the depraved minds of thedoctors themselves and are famous for their void of anypurposes at all. The high altitude tests were experimentsinitiated by the nazi government and followed closely byHeinrich Himmler.(p36, Gilbert) The experiments wereconducted in a low pressure chamber that could simulateflight up to 68,000 feet above sea level.
