High altitude experiment



In order to test the survivability of pilots who had to eject from their planes, SS doctors exposed prisoners in Dachau concentration camp to high-altitude conditions simulated in a chamber. Many died as a result. Here is a photograph of a prisoner undergoing this high altitude experiment. Documentation: Democide: Nazi Genocide and Mass Murder. Source: "The Undeniable Holocaust".
