Much has been written and published about inhuman aspects of the medical experiments in German concentration camps. At the time when he was active, typhus was killing many people in the concentration camps.Many of the people infected with typhus and treated with Haagen's antibodies survived, while many of the untreated controls died. Rascher also tested "polygala," a drug that was supposed to have a good influence on wounds, by binding prisoners and having them shot in their arms or legs.Rascher was an ambitious postdoc, but the experiments he had presented for his M.D. could not be repeated.
