Fuehrer Headquarters, 21 March 1942
To the Reich Chief Manager [Reichsgeschaeftsfuehrer] of the “Ahnenerbe”
SS Obersturmbannfuehrer Sievers
Berlin—Dahlem
Dear Comrade Sievers,
I refer to your inquiry of 9 March 1942 B/151/r1 S/Wo—concerning Dr. Rascher.
Reference is made to the subatmospheric pressure experiments which are being carried out on concentration camp inmates in the Dachau camp by the air force. The Reich Leader SS has approved these experiments under the condition that SS Untersturmfuehrer Dr. Rascher, who is an Obersturmfuehrer of the air force, takes part in them. I am sure that Dr. Rascher will be able to give you further details.[[22]]
Heil Hitler!
