Scientific Results of German Medical War Crimes: Report of an Enquiry by a Committee under the Chairmanship of Lord Moran, M.D., President of the Royal College of Physicians

Rather than assigning guilt to the German scientists who conducted experiments on the inmates of the concentration camps, this aberrant pamphlet seeks to determine what medical discoveries, if any, were made. The Nazi experiments are here divided into eight categories: Eugenics, Malaria Experiment at Dachau, Phosgene (poisonous gas); Orthopedic Surgery; Surgery, Psychiatry (Euthanasia), Physiology and Bacteriology. The amoral tone is particularly distinct in the summation: "The purpose of the enquiry was to search the records lest any material contribution to human physiology and pathology should be buried, and to make any such contribution available. Unfortunately, the enquiry has failed to make any such discovery."
