Gemini Project. Truth or fiction?
The Gemini Project is one of the horrific crimes of Nazi Germany. It is so inhuman that for a long time it was considered only a terrible legend. But many documents, including thousands of photographs, recently discovered in secret archives, convince us that this is true.
In 1939, in the Third Reich, on the personal instructions of Adolf Hitler, a deeply classified project was created, called "Gemini", in honor of the Geminids meteor shower, which appears in the constellation of Gemini (Gemini) in the first half of December each year.
The original goal of the project was to study the effects of drugs and poisonous chemicals on humans. The project was headed by Dr. Ritter Wulff, who was supported by Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler. In 1942, the Nazi leader gave the go-ahead to conduct experiments on concentration camp prisoners. After that, "scientific" laboratories appeared in Auschwitz and several other large death camps.
Soon the program was expanded and, under the leadership of Wolfe, they began to conduct experiments designed to prove the superiority of the Aryan race. It was based on the ideology of the "German Society for the Study of Ancient German History", also known as Ahnenerbe ("Heritage of the Ancestors"). This organization since 1935 was headed by the same Reichsfuehrer Heinrich Himmler.
An important part of the Gemini project was experiments on infant twins. The key figure in this work was Dr. Josef Mengele, who was nicknamed the "Angel of Death" by the prisoners of Auschwitz. The twins as test subjects were not chosen by chance. One was subjected to inhuman experiments, and the second was a "control group" for comparison.
At the disposal of Mengele were constantly 10-13 thousand prisoners, among whom were men, women and children. Particular attention was paid not only to twins, but also to dwarfs and midgets. The doctor personally chose those who would go to the experimental barracks and who would die in the gas chamber. Over the course of several years of the project, more than 3,000 people passed through Mengele's laboratory. Of these, no more than 200 managed to survive, most of whom were seriously injured and became disabled.
In the head of Josef Mengele there were many ideas related to the improvement of the Aryan race. The doctor dreamed that all Germans had blue eyes. He tried to achieve a change in the color of the iris by introducing various dyes into it, which usually led to complete blindness. Also in Auschwitz, twins were sewn together, turning them into Siamese, and then separated.
A separate team of killer doctors under the leadership of the "Angel of Death" was engaged in the study of dangerous diseases. One of the twins was infected with a deadly infection and the diseased organism was compared with another, healthy one. After the experiment was completed, most often, children were killed and burned in the Auschwitz crematorium.
In the concentration camp laboratory there was an operating room where horrific surgical interventions were performed. Mengele performed amputations without anesthesia, experimented with organ transplants, and simply performed autopsies on living people. The "Angel of Death" was interested in the hidden possibilities of the human body and he was sure that he was making brilliant discoveries.
As part of the project, military orders were also carried out. Both children and adults were involved in these experiments. The Nazis were interested in medical technology that could save wounded soldiers and officers. The main supplier of ideas for experiments was the Luftwaffe. During the battles in the northern latitudes, downed German pilots often found themselves in icy water. In Auschwitz, they studied ways to save and return to life the pilots who received hypothermia.
In order to thoroughly study the essence of the issue, the prisoners of the concentration camp were immersed in icy water, covered with snow and ice, bringing them to a critical state. After that, they tried to “rescue” the test subjects with the help of heating equipment or special injections. Mortality during such experiments was enormous. But those who survived were still almost always doomed to death in the gas chamber or by injection of phenol into the heart.
The Nazis were also interested in how the body behaves at critically low pressure. During the Second World War, the topic of flights at high altitude was relevant, where the enemy’s anti-aircraft artillery did not reach and his fighters could not rise. The main enemies of the pilots in this case were extremely low pressure and lack of oxygen.
In concentration camps, special vacuum chambers were installed in which prisoners were placed and the air was pumped out. It is hard to imagine the torment of people dying from suffocation and a critical decrease in pressure. Mengele and his henchmen impartially recorded their observations, believing that they were making a breakthrough in science.
Everything that happened in the framework of the Gemini project was so monstrous that many still do not believe in its existence. But the documents that are still found in secret archives fully confirm all the horrors. There are also a few living witnesses of experiments on children who tell things that do not fit into the head. Unfortunately, not everyone involved in the Gemini project got what they deserved. Someone managed to escape, as Mengele himself did, who died not on the gallows, but on one of the beaches in Brazil from a heart attack.
