LETTER FROM RASCHER TO HIMMLER, 10 SEPTEMBER 1942, TRANSMITTING INTERMEDIATE REPORT ON FREEZING EXPERIMENTS (1618-PS)
| Dr. med. Sigmund Rascher | Munich, Trogerstr. 56 |
at present Berlin, 10 Sep 1942
My dear Reich Leader,
May I submit in the enclosure the first intermediary report about the freezing experiments?
In the beginning of October, a meeting on the subject of freezing experiments is to take place. Professor Dr. Holzloehner, participating in our Dachau experiments on behalf of the Luftwaffe, wants to give on this occasion an account of the results of our experiments. SS Obersturmbannfuehrer Sievers, who surveyed the experiments in Dachau last week, believes that if any report was to be made at a meeting, I should be called upon to submit the report. A discussion with other experts on freezing experiments would surely be very valuable. I therefore request your decision.
1. Can a report be made elsewhere before the oral report has been submitted to you, my Reich Leader?
2. Is my participation in the conference on the subject of the freezing experiments of the Luftwaffe ordered by you, my Reich Leader?
I will take care that the report is submitted in the manner appropriate for top secret matter.
