Malaria Experiments
1. Under the direction of Professor Dr. Schilling, malaria experiments were carried out in Dachau concentration camp in the years 1941-1944.
2. According to the statements in the verdict of the United States Military Court at Dachau of 26 January 1946 (NO-856, Pros. Ex. 125) a great number of people were killed in these experiments.
3. Sievers had not the slightest connection with either Professor Schilling’s malaria experiments or with any other malaria experiments.
The prosecution charges Sievers with participation in malaria experiments.
“As can be seen in all spheres of this devilish experiment program in Nazi Germany, the defendants charged with the malaria experiments had on their side an extensive knowledge of Schilling’s activity. In some cases they worked actively with the late Dr. Schilling”. (Tr. pp. 403-4.)
For proof, the prosecution refers to NO-721, Prosecution Exhibit 126.
Regarding 3546-PS, Prosecution Exhibit 123, Sievers’ diary 1944, entries of 22 February 1944 and 31 May 1944, the prosecution states:
“From this document it can be seen that on or about 1 April 1942 Wolfram Sievers had knowledge of Dr. Schilling’s activity in Dachau. This letter represents a proposal for planned further experiments and clearly shows that the distinguished Wolfram Sievers in his capacity as Reich Business Manager of Ahnenerbe had a finger in all these matters.”
The defense has proved:
