Josef Mengele Biography: The Angel of Death

Just the mention of his name can send a chill through a place full of horror. He was the most feared monster of all. Of course, we are talking about the Angel of Death, Josef Mengele, although he was trained as a life-preserving doctor. he brought a sadistic cruelty to the experiments that took the lives of so many and his favorite victims as children. In this week's graphics we reveal the depraved life of the Auschwitz monster dr. Josef Mengele yes, if Mengele came into the world on March 16, 1911 in the German Bavarian city of Goonsburg after three spontaneous abortions, he was Karl's firstborn and well, Perga Mengele Karl was the owner of an agricultural machinery factory that was dedicated to producing ammunition.

When war broke out in 1914, the Manglers would have two more children, but Joseph was his mother's firm favorite, while Poker was an obese woman who had a severe reputation and a voracious appetite who doted on her eldest son, who was much closest. for him than for her husband, for her part, Josef proved to be a quiet child whose main goal was to please her authoritarian mother at school. Josef was an average student, he struggled to keep his grades up at the level his mother expected and when he was fifteen he contracted a serious bone marrow disease, osteomyelitis, the often fatal disease in those days kept him out of school. school for six months.

Upon returning to class, he was far behind his classmates academically for the next two years. He displayed a remarkable level of self-esteem. -discipline to not only catch up but surpass many of his fellow students by the age of 17, he had overcome his shyness and become a handsome, focused and motivated young man who was popular with both teachers and fellow students. class. In April 1930, he was 19 years old. He passed his high school exams and was accepted into the faculties of medicine and philosophy at the University of Munich. He had decided to be a doctor. Mengele stood out from the other men on campus.

He was always impeccably dressed and had developed a gentlemanly air with which he treated everyone. women had old-fashioned dignity and he was a very good dancer, all these traits made him quickly noticed by the ladies, with the result that his social calendar was usually quite full during his first year of university. Mengele began to show interest in politics and joined the Iron Helmets. In March 1931, a paramilitary group that advocated a return to the pre-war monarchy, steel helmets were a springboard into the National Socialist or Nazi party that was promoted in beer halls as well as on university campuses.

The Nazis advocated for return of German pride, purity, and the elimination of racial impurities, these ideas appealed to Mengele and seemed to fit with the social Darwinism he thought was taught in lecture halls. He became fascinated with eugenics, particularly the idea that a population could become more perfect by Selectively breeding those who had the most desirable characteristics would also help eliminate undesirable traits by eliminating the weak and weak, while The Nazis believed in eugenics, for them the process of generational selective breeding was too slow and they were determined to do it. eliminate the weak at this time the Aryan race simply could no longer stand to be contaminated by inferior races such as the Slavs and Jews, who were considered subhuman or subhuman.

These beliefs were enthusiastically adopted by the young and impressionable Josef Mengele in 1935 Mengele was He earned a doctorate in anthropology and his thesis was titled Racial morphological investigation in the lower jaw section of four racial groups. The article was free of racial bias and set out to demonstrate empirically through science alone that the Germans were a superior race and better human beings. A year later, Mengele graduated in medicine and worked for months as an intern at the University of Leipzig clinic before joining the staff of Germany's leading racial expert, Dr. omar free her von versa and worked at the Institute for the Biology of Heredity and Racial Purity located at the University of Frankfurt.

Mandela's job at the Institute was to examine people suspected of violating the Nuremberg Laws to see if they were Jewish or not. and his colleagues created thousands of files that would prove devastating in future years when people were rounded up for transportation to concentration camps in May 1937. Mengele officially joined the Nazi Party, became a member of the party of Nazi doctors, and later in May. 1938 the shoot Staffan or SS the SS had been created as Hitler's personal protection squad but expanded its role to the management of concentration camps the leader of the SS was Heinrich Himmler a meticulous organizer who had plans to make the still small organization was so powerful As the national army at the time Mengele joined the SS was an elite group that only allowed the finest specimens of Aryan manhood to enter its ranks around the same time he became a member of the SS.

H.H. Mangler became engaged to Irene. He considers the daughter. from a professor at the University of Frankfurt six years younger than Joseph Irene was a blonde-haired beauty and paid the handsome young, athletic-looking doctor the perfect compliments when it came to getting married, however, there was a little problem while Yosef could show documentation. Due to her Aryan purity, Irene could not prove that her grandfather was 100% Aryan. It was only the influence of the Mangala family that paved the way for the wedding which took place in July 1939. The lack of complete proof of Irene's ancestry prevented the inclusion of the manglers. in the SS kinship book, which included couples who could prove their Aryan ancestry since 1750, as a result, Mengele was deprived of the swords and spoons of must that were given to an SS man when a child was born after three months of marriage.

Mengele was called up for a three-month tour of duty in the army. He was sent to the mountainous region of Tyrol. He possessed a high level of physical fitness and was an expert hiker. He excelled in his service. After completing his three-month service, he returned to his job at Frankfurt University, but with the arrival of war in 1939 national mobilization was instituted. Mengele was rejected at the first recruitment because he had had a kidney infection when he was a child. In June 1940 Mengele was finally called up becoming a second left tannin in the Waffen-ss. In June 1941, with the start of Operation Barbarossa, there was an urgent need for men to serve on the Eastern Front.

Mengele was removed from office and sent to the Russian front, he proved to be a brave soldier and earned the Iron Cross Second Class in early 1942. Mengele was transferred to the Scandinavian Viking SS division, where he again served as a field medic. He appeared despondent under fire and won the Iron Cross first class. When he pulled two men from a burning tank in November 1942, he suffered serious injuries and was removed from the front. After a period of recovery, he returned to the career and resettlement office, earned a promotion to captain and then, in mid-1943, was given what was for him his dream job: a practical eugenics researcher, This meant that he could enjoy all the most outlandish theories of eugenics by testing them on living human subjects.

The human subjects who would be torn apart like guinea pigs would be found in Auschwitz - Birkenau concentration camp. his anthropological research on heredity. Mengele was not the first doctor to use concentration camp inmates for research purposes in the Birkin vault, and Cao Jews were injected with bacteria exposed to all sorts of deadly substances. diseases and hit them repeatedly with the butts of rifles to see how long it would take them to suffer irreversible brain damage in Auschwitz itself Dr. Horst Schumann had been conducting sterilization experiments once castrating 90 men in a single day yes, Mengele was to take the scope and barbarity of taking his experiments to a whole new level The team was chosen as a location for their work because of its secluded location and because it was close to a railway junction with tracks coming from all over Europe.

Mengele arrived at Auschwitz on May 23, 1943, the next day he participated in the first selection of it, this involved selecting which of the new inmates would live and which would die. That day alone he sent 1035 gypsies to the gas chamber, as was his nature, Mengele was actively dressed. During these selections he wore a white SS medical uniform, white gloves and polished black boots. His face showed no emotion as he decided who was going to die with a simple flick of his wrist. His constant non-stop smoking and air of indifference presented a disconcerting but terrifying sight to the bewildered new arrivals during their stay at Auschwitz Mengele supervised the selection into 74 transports 80% of the new arrivals were immediately sentenced to

death

all the children Children under the age of 14 were murdered as were the elderly in the netherlands.

Mandela seemed to enjoy this aspect of his job and was known for saying here the Jews and going through the doors and out the chimney is a passion, however, it was for the investigation. scientist, ordered the guards to look for those who were deformed and too tall dwarves or she would point out that her most prized subjects were twins. especially if they were children since his early days at university Mangala had a fascination with twins and he believed that by studying them he could discover the secret of genetic manipulation. In fact, it was his search for twins that motivated him to attend so many arrival selections during his time.

At Auschwitz he managed to find 1500 pairs of twins who were used as human guinea pigs, only 100 pairs survived, the twins and other research subjects who were selected upon arrival would be taken to living quarters in Birkenau, about 2 miles away, there They lived in appalling conditions. conditions surrounded by rotting corpses and starving adults Once settled in their shameful dwellings, the children had to complete an intensive questionnaire in which they had to indicate their age, height, eye and hair color, ethnicity, as well as any health problems . The older children helping the younger ones through complete realizations, desperate to have everything completed to the guards' satisfaction, the children would be interviewed by a Mangler himself, who would take extensive notes and then have a file made up for each child.

He was determined that his research would be considered legitimate and so he did everything possible to keep everything official in preparation for the experimentation, the children were cleaned, bathed and dressed in clean pajamas, then they were taken in Red Cross vehicles to one of Mandela's research laboratories. He had established several laboratories around the Auschwitz-Birkenau area for these specific purposes. In one, blood tests and x-rays were taken. Here the children were treated with care. Mengele came regularly to make sure that no one was being mistreated in these agencies. children and spoke to them kindly and reassuringly by doing this, she was able to build trust, which led the children to her experiment table in other laboratories.

The most atrocious barbarism occurred daily. Anesthesia was never used, so the pain that was inflicted on the children can hardly be imagined. It included the removal of specific organs or limbs, immersion in ice water, injection of dyes and eyes, castration of boys, sterilization of girls, and deliberate infection of wounds with gangrene. Occasionally, Mengele set up endurance testing experiments, this involved subjects receiving increasingly stronger voltages of electricity. until they died they were unconscious or went into a coma. As soon as one twin died, their brother would be killed immediately to provide comparative data during autopsies. Despite the mangler's attempts to cover up his work with legitimacy, there was no valid scientific reason for any of them.

These horrendous experiments, the doctors who helped Mengele later recorded, seemed as if many of the experiments were inspired purely by sadism, in addition to his diabolical laboratory work in selection tasks with newcomers. Mengele occasionally gave birth to women who were pregnant. gassed, however, if they were near term, Mengele would give birth to the baby only to be sent with his mother to her

death

. One of his greatest amusements was to allow them both to live for some time, but to bind the mother's breasts so that she could Forced to watch her baby starve to death for all his atrocities, the worst occurred when he dug a hole and a huge violet in the Birkenau courtyard.

He then had 300 children, all under 5 years old, thrown into the flames, unlike the majority.Nazi Assassins Mengele did not need to be high or drunk to carry out his murderous work; In fact, according to Jewish survivors who were forced to help in the laboratory, he was enthusiastic about imposing cruelty, at times his temper would flare and show. With sharp bursts of horror, he once smashed the skull of an old man. Akande simply because he wanted to be in his son's work detail inside the Auschwitz and Birkenau camps. Mengele had unlimited power, this combined with his natural sadism made him a monster.

He often accompanied on his rounds his damned SS attacker, a 21-year-old blonde beauty who was almost as depraved as he was. The two marched through the camp in immaculate uniforms. The perfect Aryan couple. Mangal has boundless hatred for Jews. He celebrated Jewish holy days like Yom Kippur by ordering the gassing of a thousand children, but his extreme prejudice could not prevent feelings of lust from arising within him. Sometimes naked young women would parade in front of him, on one occasion a beautiful 15-year-old girl would parade in front of him. An elderly Jewish woman from Transylvania stood in front of him.

Mengele was clearly turned on by the girl obviously torn inside. He and the girl selected for special experimentation over the next hour caused such deformity in her body that she looked like a decrepit old hag and then left. She would die having overcome her illicit lust in early 1944. Mengele had decided to adopt child. Invariably, the boy physically resembled him and would be dressed in a small white medical uniform. Mengele walked through the camp and in the hands of the child he provided for him. with sweets and toys, after a month the doctor got tired of the boy and let him go hand in hand to the gas chamber.

The more cruel Mengele was in carrying out his duties, the more respect he earned in the Nazi hierarchy in a written report. At the end of 1944, his camp commander Rudolf Hess wrote that Mengele carried out all tasks, including Zim, often under very difficult conditions, to the complete satisfaction of his superiors, and often used his little free time to use the scientific material at his disposal to make a valuable contribution to anthropological science in early 1945 Mengele was at the peak of his power, but he could also read the writing on the wall. He knew that the war would soon be lost and that the Russians would invade the countryside in early January.

The crematoriums had been destroyed. The blown up and healthy prisoners were forced to march to new destinations in Germany. Mengele continued his experiments until the last minute, but then he busied himself sending all the documents and reports to his team and then, on January 17, 1945, Joseph Mengele simply disappeared from Auschwitz. Ten days later the Russians arrived, they discovered a terror factory burned down, the place had been burned and the Germans, like Mengele, on the floor, a few thousand survivors, more dead than alive, were found wandering among the ruins. Mengele had fled to another concentration camp further away. south, then when the Russians approached that camp, he headed to the mathematics accommodation camp in Austria when the allies approached, he ditched his Nazi uniform and fled.

His freedom did not last long in May, the second he joined him. In a war hospital, the unit was soon overrun by the Russians and all the Germans were detained when he was arrested. The main Hola was wearing a Wehrmacht uniform. He proved to be a bad prisoner, constantly fearing that he would be exposed as an SS officer with all the suspected SS men being eliminated; he and the other prisoners were handed over to the Americans and then released. The Angel of Death seemed to have escaped unharmed. However, he knew that they would constantly persecute him and he was too afraid to return to his family, so he traveled through Western Germany and Soviet-occupied East Germany for three years.

He worked as a laborer on an Alpine farm in Bavaria, meanwhile the story of the Menglers' atrocities was revealed to the world at large, as a result he became the most wanted Nazi scalp. by post-war Nazi hunters made the decision to flee Europe by walking across the missing crossing into Italy in April 1949 and then headed to South Tyrol, where he managed to obtain an International Red Cross identification card with a name fake. Mengele managed to obtain a Swiss passport and then traveled to Genoa, where he set sail for Buenos Aires. Arriving on Argentine soil, Mengele finally felt safe.

He was welcomed by Argentine President Juan Perón and lived within his palace complex. Iran had long been a supporter. from Hitler and opened his country to the fleeing Nazis Mengele established a comfortable life in Argentina found work as a carpenter a tradesman in which he proved to be an expert he was also a highly respected member of the local Nazi community now his father was extremely wealthy as a result From his businesses, the old man financed international events, usually in the ski resort. Absent from these family gatherings was the mangler's wife, Irene, who had divorced her husband.

In Esha's absence on a family skiing trip to Switzerland in 1956, Mengele charmed her dead. his brother calls the widow Martha a year later they married Martha and her son Rolf they moved to Argentina to be with Mengele with the support of their father's money Mengele and his new family they lived very well they moved to a luxury villa in a luxurious suburb ironically in Amid many wealthy Jewish families, he felt so confident in his new life that in 1956 he renounced his alias and returned to his real name. However, a handful of Nazi hunters, mainly Holocaust survivors, were on his trail.

Hermann Lange managed to get the divorce papers filed by Irene. They indicated that the man Halle lived in Buenos Aires. Lange had been pressured by the West German government to issue an arrest warrant, which they did on June 7, 1959 by the West German Foreign Ministry. He now demanded that Mengele be extradited to face the charges. Megalo was warned of what was happening and fled to Paraguay. A year later he moved to Brazil where he settled with a Hungarian couple on a small farm about 300 miles from Sao Paulo in mid-1962. He moved again this time to a farm. of 45 hectares in Sierra Negra, 150 miles north of Sal Power, where it bordered the Strauss.

A family in his old age. Mengele became arrogant, sullen and self-centered. He treated other people. There were his intellectual and racial inferiors in 1964. A war crimes trial for Mengele was conducted in absentia during the course of the trial. The gruesome details of his experiments were often recounted by surviving human guinea pigs as a result of these revelations. He became a hated figure by the vast majority of West Germans by 1970. Efforts to secure Mengele's extradition had petered out and he had largely been forgotten. He continued to live an unhappy life with the Strasser family who had come to hate him in 1976 he suffered a stroke from which he only partially recovered he finally found his End in February 1979 suffering a fatal stroke while swimming at the beach and Bertioga, until the moment he took his last breath, never regretted his actions in Auschwitz, so I really hope you enjoyed the graphic video, if so.
