About 300 people had endured these experiments more than once. Some were sentenced to death from the beginning because the experiment itself consisted of discovering the exact temperature at which a person’s death occurs in the cold. Various methods of resuscitating those who died of hypothermia were also tried. One of the experiments even involved throwing the dying into hot water. The main concentration camps where these experiments were performed were in Dachau and Auschwitz. The one who did the research and published some studies on these morbid experiments was Dr. SS (Schutzstaffel) Sigmund Rascher.
