the truth behind zombies

Did nazis really try to make zombies ? 

the nazis who had no shortage of well-documented kooky ideas, might have researched the possibility of reanimating the dead . Nazi zombies make for a grabber of a headline, but what real evidence is there that raising the dead was on the agenda for even the most outrageous among the nazis ?

we can begin with the conclusion, because that is real just the start . No reliable evidence has been found that the nazis tried to raise the dead, but though even asking the quetion why sound preposterous, a world of people believe that such a program was in the works_ and knowing that facts we do about nazis research and beliefs, this concept is entirely plausible .

The idea that the Nazis looked into the possibility of raising the dead might sound like an outtake from an Indiana Jones movie. But this is only because those plots were inspired by real, but little-known, facts. The Nazis did, in fact, have teams of researchers hunting for supernatural treasures, religious relics and entrances to a magical land of telepathic faeries and giants (I wish I were making this up). Relatively few people are aware of a very real organization that was the inspiration for the Indiana Jones plots: the Nazi Ahnenerbe, or the Ancestral Heritage Research and Teaching Organization .

there's a lot of facts about how hitler was obsessed with both the occult and the pursuit of ancient religious artefacts of supposedly great supernatural power .Hitler never had any particular interest in the occult or any topic he deemed "esoteric". In fact, in his Nuremberg speech of September 6th, 1938, he publicly expressed his condemnation of occultism in no uncertain terms: "We will not allow mystically-minded occult folk with a passion for exploring the secrets of the world beyond to steal into our Movement. Such folk are not National Socialists, but something else - in any case, something which has nothing to do with us."

about the Dachau Concentration Camp there's a lot of talking but the truth is In 1933, just three months after the National Socialist Party winning power in Germany, the SS under Himmler set up the first official concentration camp on the grounds of an abandoned munitions factory, Dachau. Before this prison camps had been hasty affairs, mostly run be either police or militia, used to hold and torture political opponents and union organisers.

The take-over and organisational consolidation by the SS with the opening of Dachau was to signify a new era of industrial-scale murder and torture, of which Himmler was its chief architect. During the war years The Institute for Military Scientific Research became attached to The Ahnenerbe, as a consequence, Dachau became one of the main centres for unethical medical research. Typical of the kinds of horrors perpetrated included tests on behalf of the Luftwaffe, because planes were being required to fly at ever greater altitudes, to determine the maximum height it's safe for a pilot to bail from, and so they requisitioned camp prisoners, placed them unprotected in vacuum chambers and basically watched what happens to a human being at high altitude. Over, and over and over.

DID THEY REALLY LEARNED TO BRING THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE : In the end, it wasn't anything to do with the occult that leads the Nazi's to conduct experiments into bringing the dead back to life; it was a scientific curiosity. The Luftwaffe needed to know how long aircrew could survive being shot down in freezing water equally, the ill-equipped infantry fighting on the Eastern Front also needed to know how long a soldier could survive extreme hypothermia and how to protect against the effects. To those ends, Ahnenerbe scientists at Dachau started freezing prisoners to death, first to see how long it took them to die and then how long (and what it took) for them to survive death. Prisoners were forced to stand naked in the open air at temperatures as low as -6 oC until they froze, others were immersed in ice baths, and then they would find ways of bringing them back to life. Some of those experiments in revival involved dropping the victim in boiling water, and sometimes, briefly, they actually came back long enough to die all over again. Screaming. All told there were some 360 - 400 such freezing experiments, between 280 and 300 victims of which survived the experiments that initially killed them more than once. And that is where the idea for stories concerning Nazis and resurrection of the dead come from. But it isn't the end of the tale, quite yet....

there was a story about a monster and there's the truth : One of the chief "scientist" responsible for much of this, Sigmund Rascher, eventually fell foul of his Ahnenerbe paymaster, Heinrich Himmler, and was shot by firing squad, in the very same concentration camp he conducted his inhuman experiments in, Dachau - three days before the camp was liberated by the Americans in early March 1945. In a bid to please Himmler personally by "proving" Aryan population growth could be accelerated by extending child-bearing age, Rascher publicized the fact his wife had given birth to three children after having turned 48, a claim Himmler was so impressed with he used Rascher and his family as propaganda to the effect of Rascher's claims. During her fourth (now) celebrity "pregnancy" However, Mrs Rascher was arrested in the act of trying to kidnap a baby and, further investigation revealed, her three other children also turned out to be either kidnapped or bought. Himmler was a man who took personal loyalty seriously, the Totenkopf insignia he'd appropriated for his SS Officers from the army; he viewed quite literally as to mean "faithful to death". Sigmund Rascher had lied to him. And that lie had become public knowledge. It's an incredible indictment of the Nazis as a species really that the inhuman things men like Rascher did to once living people in places such as Dachau played no part whatsoever in either his downfall or arrest by the SS, but lying to Himmler (coupled with certain financial irregularities, the possibility that he may have bumped off a former lab assistant and scientific fraud), earned him a death sentence amongst the very same people he'd regarded and treated as nothing more than lab rats. The SS didn't even bother giving Rascher a trial. Not the right fate, perhaps, but a fate nevertheless, not-in-the-slightest unpoetic. What will, however, remain, forever, in the craw regarding that man and those like him, far, far longer, unfortunately, is the fact the data the Nazi's acquired through unethical experimentation is still used in mainstream medical research even today...

so now we know the whole story behind the rumors and that all of that was a lie or a virtual lie .
