I mean none of this information is new or anything but every time I hear it I just find it hard to wrap my head around the casual brutality and dehumanization of it all.

I think its important that society never forgets how easy it Is to go down that path of degrading people until what you do to them no longer matters in your governments eyes. China and North Korea are demonstrating it right now.

It scares me and I'm a fearless man.

It's kinda fucked up how we know certain things about the human body due to Nazi experiments, like how it reacts to extreme cold.

Yeah .

There's a huge ethical moral argument about whether or not we should use advances in medicine and science that came from Nazis

It was Nazis that got us to the moon after all

Personally I feel it does no favors to the victims to not use the research to help others

but many argue that this line of thought encourages more people to do the same in the future

"the ends justify the means " mentality

Slight problem with that line of thinking:
They weren't really using good Scientific Methods in the experiments at all, so that kind of ruins whatever results they got.

Like the methodology was poor, the notes were shit,
assumptions of untermensch vs ubermensch were rampant (this jew could take X amount of Cold so obviously a good German can take X+Y amount cause they're better),

and the fact that the test subject had been starved and weakened fucks it up from the very beginning

Yet UR goes out of his way to defend modern Nazis as often as possible

Yeah, a lot of fucked up shit happened in WW II. You should check out documentaries on Stalin and Mao as well.

Interesting that SMAL feels the need to deflect from Nazis

---

Also look up Operation Paperclip.

The US Government knowingly hired some of the worst Nazi Scientists that had committed many attrocities and murders including the creator of Sarin Gas
