LV connections of its wife

His later wife, the former hit singer Karoline Diehl, born Wiedemann, widow of the theatre director Oskar Diehl, offered rapid due to her good contacts to Heinrich Himmler opportunities for advancement in the LV state. Karoline is to have granted Himmler in the early phase of the NSDAP Unterschlupf, the personal contact remained more rapid.

Himmler transferred e.g. after the second not-conjugal child of the pair monthly 165 RM, it sent also packages with fruit, chocolate and other rare pieces to the increasing family. It sent for it family photos and requests for a good position Raschers. One of these family photos pleased Himmler so well that it was used as title page for LV material required for training purposes. Mrs rapid did not only let play her LV relations, in order to supply family and man, but was even than "informers" active.

The way to the SS-scientist

On 24 April 1939 rapid for the first time personally Himmler met. At the 1. May submits it to it a memorandum, in which it suggests following to five questions from the area of the cancer research. Apart from questions tying to its resident of Munich work should the connection between artificial fertilizer employment (Himmler, which possessed a agricultural diploma, had been once a representative for artificial fertilizers) and cancer with cows, which are worked on search for a sticking on cancer to the rat fight and a kind cancer register, into which also ancestor research and regional investigations should flow.

Already into these cancer research Himmlers (blood) are to be integrated when desired investigations at KZ-prisoners. Became more rapid with effect of the 1. May 1939 taken up to the research council German ancestor inheritance registered association. Although Himmler assured the financing of the projects over the ancestor inheritance, were first no laboratory areas, so that rapid its private dwelling used. Here also the blood was examined by prisoners of the KZs Dachau. Its female assistant Julie ("Lulu") Muschler lived likewise in the dwelling. Muschler disappeared 1943 with a common mountain trip with the married couple more rapidly. When its corpse emerged 1944, the Raschers turned out under murder suspicion.

Medicine crime

Vorgeblich goes it with these attempts around aviation-medical questions, i.e. the rescue from military pilots out of large height and/or cold water to forced landings. The attempts were accomplished in the KZ Dachau at 150-200 KZ-prisoners, by whom 70-80 was killed. The death of the test subjects was a planned part of the experiments. A description of the attempts is here.

Scientifically (and are) the attempts were alone already senseless, because the prisoner physicians forced to the participation reduced e.g. the agonies of the victims after their possibilities and systematically falsified temperature specifications.

After the experiments treated in the physician process accomplished rapid with prisoners attempts with undercooling by air. In addition it left the test subjects untouched naked 9-14 hours with ice cold weather in the free one, the reached thereby 27"°C. Since in Dachau typhoid fever broke out and warmer weather to be expected was, the experiments could not be brought in Dachau to end. More rapidly energized to lead the attempts together with walter Neff of the weapon SS in the KZ Auschwitz further since it was colder there. Also the area is there more extensive, so that the shouting for hours of the attempt persons is to be hidden better.

In addition it should not come then any longer. Also its suggestion in the Dachauer Gaskammer (it was never used) of experiments with war gases at prisoners who can be killed to accomplish remained without conversion.
