"Dr. Karl Gebhardt, Himmler's childhood friend, had a green light from him
for his vivisection of women at both Ravensbruck and Auschwitz. In the
former camp, he admittedly operated on 60, but survivors of Ravensbruck put
the number closer to 100, mostly Poles between the ages of fourteen and
twenty-five. He was an SS Brigadefuehrer (Major General) and stated in May
1943: `I carry the full human, surgical and political responsibility for
these experiments.' He was shot as a war criminal in 1948."
