Eh, IBM?

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, explain?

Well, IBM is a German originated company, they leased their products/tech to their german branch, Dehomag, who were instrumental in segragating the Jewish population from the rest of germans, due to IBM's unrivalled census punch card system, and then each and every card passed through the main offices of IBM at one stage where they were sorted and sent to their German posts. This clearly showed the exact nature of the regime in "eradicating" the Jewish population and as such represents a key focus within establishing the chain of command within Auschwitz

hehe sorry bout that, theres a book IBM and the holocaust if you want to read more, cant remember the author though atm

sorry

so this Josef Mengele was a SS officer?
who did what exactly?

.... IBM ay...

 

[bluesbreaker]

Dr Josef Mengele was a camp doctor at Auschwitz-Birkenau (Camp 2), he was one of the doctors who selected which prisoners would die on arrival and which would live, and he used to perform experiments on prisoners, in particular he was interested in twins.

He was a Waffen SS officer. I believe he was promoted to captain before being deemed medically unfit for combat.

is there any solid proof that these experiments were carried out? (apart from that IBM thing, i cant really go in2 that)
i dont doubt it, but if i was to incorperate any of this in2 my argument id have to have strong proof.

 

[bluesbreaker]

Well, it depends what you count as solid proof i suppose. Eye witness testimonies of victims of the experiments who survived is solid enough for me. I'm fairly sure Rudolph Hoss (commandant of Auschwitz) himself testified to what Mengele was up to at Nuremberg, but I can't remember where exactly (Edit: where as in which part of the trial).

Just have a look around, there's tonnes of info on Mengele.
