Nazism wasn’t something solely linked to a physical war effort; it was an ideology, which attracted the worst of people from all corners of Germany.

Aribert Heim is a prime example of the Nazi ideology. Dr. Aribert Heim was physician who joined the SS with the intent of carrying out medical experiments on captives in labor camps. He was so notorious for his actions that he was called “Dr. Death” by inmates. He operated without using anesthesia let alone pain killers and practiced his injections to see their reactions. Many of his patients remained in agony for days as he removed their organs and left them for dead.

He worked in the Mauthausen-Gusen Concentration camp as part of the 6th SS Mountain Division. Many of his experiments are well documented including the use of different compounds to bring death. He chose Jewish prisoners for such experiments and injected petrol, poisons and other materials directly into the prisoners’ hearts. It is reported that Heim once cut open a prisoner, stripped his flesh off and then used his head as paper weight in his office.

On 15th March, 1945 Dr. Death was captured by US soldiers and sent to a camp as POW. He mysteriously disappeared in 1962 from the authorities’ radar. He was later found living in Egypt through various sightings but by the time the authorities discovered him he had died. It was revealed by his son that Heim had simply driven through France, Spain and ferried into Africa from where he finally settled in Egypt.
