Description: (German Physician)
Sigmund Rascher was a German doctor affiliated with the Schutzstaffel (SS) who conducted deadly experiments on humans involving high altitude, freezing, and blood coagulation during World War II. With the support of Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, Rascher pursued unethical research to advance Nazi scientific goals. His actions ultimately led to charges of financial misconduct, murder, and scientific deception, resulting in his arrest and confinement in concentration camps. Rascher's experiments were later condemned as inhumane and criminal during the Nuremberg Trials.
