About Sigmund Rascher
- Sigmund Rascher (12 February 1909 – 26 April 1945) was a German SS doctor.
- He conducted deadly experiments on humans about high altitude, freezing and blood coagulation under the patronage of SS leader Heinrich Himmler, to whom his wife Karoline "Nini" Diehl had direct connections.
- When police investigations uncovered that the couple defrauded the public with their supernatural fertility by 'hiring' and kidnapping babies, she and Rascher were arrested in April 1944.
- He was accused of financial irregularities, murder of his former lab assistant, and scientific fraud, and brought to Buchenwald and Dachau before being executed.
- After his death, the Nuremberg Trials judged his experiments as inhumane and criminal.
