Among all the Nazi criminals from the Third Reich, one stands out, which, perhaps, even among the most disgusting murderers and vile sadists, rightfully takes the place of the vilest of the vilest. Some of the Nazis can, albeit with a great stretch, be classified as lost sheep that have turned into wolves. Others take their place as ideological criminals. But this one … This one did his dirty work with obvious pleasure, even with pleasure, satisfying his basest, wildest desires. This notorious sick creature combined Nazi ideas with obvious mental disorders and earned the nickname "Doctor Death". Sometimes, however, he was called almost "the angel of death." But this is too flattering a nickname for him. We are talking about the so-called Dr. Josef Mengele - the executioner from Auschwitz, who miraculously escaped human judgment, but,it seems that only to await the judgment of the highest.
Nazi hardening
Josef Mengele received Nazi training from childhood. The fact is that he, born in 1911 in the Bavarian Günzburg, was the son of the founder of the company that produced agricultural equipment, Karl Mengele. The company was called “Karl Mengele and Sons” (Joseph had two brothers - Karl and Alois). Naturally, the company's prosperity depended on how farmers feel. Farmers, like, in fact, millions of other Germans, after the defeat of Germany in the First World War and imposed against it, as they would say now, the most severe political and economic sanctions, did not feel well. And there is nothing surprising in the fact that when Hitler came to power with his Nazi party and his unbridled populism, who promised mountains of gold to shopkeepers and the middle bourgeois, it was in them that he saw his electoral base,Karl Mengele supported the Nazis with all his heart and part of his wallet. So the son was brought up in "appropriate" conditions.
Man-hating dissertation
By the way, Josef Mengele did not immediately go to study medicine (yes, he refused to continue his father's work, apparently from a young age he was drawn to experiments on people), no. First, he plunged into the activities of the right-wing conservative monarchist organization "Steel Helmet", which had two wings - political and military. However, many political organizations in Germany in those years had their militants at hand. Including the communists. Later, namely in 1933, "Steel Helmet" happily joined the terrible SA (organization of Nazi stormtroopers). But something went wrong. Perhaps Mengele sensed what the case smelled like (the SA was later actually defeated by Hitler, and the leadership led by Rem was destroyed - such was the internal Nazi competition). And maybe, as the biographers of this devil say, he really had health problems. Joseph left the Steel Helmet and went to study medicine. By the way, about preferences and ideology. Mengele's doctoral thesis was "Racial differences in mandibular structure." So it was originally that "scientist".

The usual way of an ideological Nazi
Then Mengele did everything that a "righteous" Nazi was supposed to do. He joined, of course, the NSDAP. I didn't stop there. Became a member of the SS. Then he even ended up in the SS Viking Panzer Division. Well, like in a tank division. Understandably, Mengele was not in the tank. He was the doctor of the sapper battalion of this division and even received the "Iron Cross". Reportedly for having rescued two tankers from a burning tank. The war, or rather, its active, risky phase, ended for Mengele in 1942. He was wounded on the eastern front. He underwent medical treatment for a long time, but became unfit for service at the front. But he found a "job", as they say, "to his liking." The one to which he went all his adult life. Pure butchery work. In May 1943, he became a "doctor" at Auschwitz. In the so-called "gypsy camp". This is exactly what they say:they let the wolf into the sheepfold.
Concentration camp career
But Mengele was just a simple "doctor" for just over a year. At the end of the summer of 1944, he was appointed "chief physician" at Birkenau (Auschwitz was a whole system of camps, and Birkenau was the so-called inner camp). By the way, Mengele was transferred to Birkenau after the "gypsy camp" was closed. At the same time, all of its inhabitants were simply taken and burned in gas chambers. In a new place, Mengele "roamed". He personally met the trains with the arriving prisoners and decided who would go to work, who went directly to the gas chambers, and who went to experiments.
Infernal experimenter
We will not describe in detail how Mengele mocked the prisoners. Painfully all this is disgusting and inhuman. Here are just a few facts to clarify for the reader the direction of his, so to speak, "scientific experiments." And this educated barbarian believed, yes - believed that he was engaged in "science." And for the sake of this very "science" people can be subjected to any torture and humiliation. It is clear that there was no smell of science there.
It smelled, as already mentioned above, of the complexes of this scoundrel, his personal sadistic inclinations, which he satisfied, hiding behind scientific necessity.
What did Mengele do
It is clear that he had no shortage of "test subjects". And therefore he did not regret the "consumable", which he considered the prisoners falling into his clutches. Even the survivors of his gruesome experiments were then killed. But this bastard regretted the painkiller, which was, of course, necessary for the "great German army." And all his experiments on living people, including amputations and even dissection (!) Of prisoners, he carried out without anesthesia. The twins were especially hit. The sadist had a particular interest in them. He carefully looked for them among the prisoners and dragged them to his torture chamber. And, for example, he sewed two together, trying to make one of them. He splashed chemicals into the eyes of children, ostensibly looking for a way to change the color of the iris. You see, he researched female endurance. And for this he passed a high voltage current through them. Or, here's a famous case,when Mengele sterilized a whole group of Polish Catholic nuns. Do you know how? Using X-rays. I must say that for Mengele, all the prisoners of the camp were "subhuman".
But the most scrutinized were the Gypsies and Jews. However, let's stop painting these "experiments". Just believe that it was indeed a monster of the human race.
Gray "rat trails"
Some of the readers probably know what "rat paths" are. This is how the American intelligence services named the routes of escape of Nazi criminals identified by them after the defeat in the war, in order to avoid prosecution and punishment for their atrocities. Evil tongues assert that these same American special services later used the "rat paths" to take the Nazis out of the attack, in order to use them for their own purposes. Many of the Nazis fled to Latin American countries.
One of the most famous "rat paths" is the one created by the famous ODESSA network, the brainchild of Otto Skorzeny himself. True, his involvement in this has not been proven. But this is not so important. It is important that thanks to just such a "rat path", Joseph Mengele fled to South America.
Hello Argentina
As it is now known, Mengele really sensed like a rat the imminent sinking of an already thoroughly leaky ship called the Third Reich. And of course, he understood that if he fell into the hands of the Soviet investigating authorities, he would not get out of the water and would answer for everything to the fullest extent. Therefore, he fled closer to the Western allies of the USSR. It was in April 1945. He, dressed in a soldier's uniform, was detained. However, then a strange story happened. Allegedly, Western experts could not establish his real identity and … let him go to all four sides. It's not enough to believe in it. Rather, the conclusion suggests itself about the deliberate withdrawal of the sadist from the court. Although the general confusion of the end of the war could have played a role. Be that as it may, Mengele, after spending three years in Bavaria, fled to Argentina along the "rat path".
Escape the Mossad
We will not describe in detail the life of a Nazi criminal in Argentina. Let's just say that one day he almost fell into the hands of the famous Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal and Mossad agents.
They went on his trail. But at the same time, they also found themselves on the trail of the main Nazi "specialist in the final solution of the Jewish question" Adolf Eichmann. Trying to capture both at the same time was extremely risky.
And the Mossad settled on Eichmann, leaving Mengele for later. However, after the Israeli intelligence literally stole Eichmann from Buenos Aires, Mengele understood everything and quickly fled the city. First to Paraguay and then to Brazil.
Disease avenged
It must be said that the Mossad came close to finding and capturing Mengele several times, but something went wrong. So the famous sadist lived in Brazil right up to 1979. And then … One day he went to swim in the ocean. While taking ocean baths, he suffered a stroke. And Mengele drowned. Only in 1985 was his grave found. Only in 1992, researchers were finally convinced that the remains belonged to Mengele. After his death, the Nazi and the sadist still had to serve the people. And, by the way, in the scientific field. His remains serve as scientific material at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo.
