1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 1: Ah, what's artificial my intelligence? I am Robert Evans. This 2 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: is Behind the Bastards, a podcast that's not about AI 3 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: large language model learning tools, but might be because I 4 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: so I want to commit confess something to you, Sophie, 5 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: and to you uh uh Matt leeb that that's been 6 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: getting it's been trouble to remember my name, dude. Sorry, 7 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: so Matt, Sophie. I've been thinking about playing around with 8 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: some of these these AIS that everybody's getting into, where 9 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: you can like have them generate images and shit right 10 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: where they Yeah, seems kind of cool, but I haven't 11 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: done it yet because I can't get a specific prompt 12 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: out of my head, which is a hybrid of of 13 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: of Um of Epstein and Carle ray Jepson that's just 14 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: called Carly ray Jepstein. I don't know why it won't 15 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: leave my head. It's an intrusive thought. I can't get 16 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: rid of it. Um. But yeah, yeah, so I bet 17 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: they could do a great job AI. You know, they 18 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: make all sorts of combinations. I love it. You're a 19 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: little imingle over call me maybe same song with Carly 20 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: ray Jepstein, different different, different subtext. Um. Oh god, no, 21 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: you're gonna get in trouble for that. We're bleeping that. Look, 22 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: we will, we will do this. But I yeah, I did. 23 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: I did have a little red Corvette parody I did 24 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: about Jeffrey Epstein that people did not appreciate. Matt. I'm 25 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: just saying, you know, that was if it's parody song, 26 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: I feel like parody. That's what I felt. But when 27 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: I sang, well, they're all wrong, I'm not even gonna 28 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: sing the second verse because please, we're bleeping, we're belief 29 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: all of this. We're cutting a large Oh boy, that 30 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: was a fun forty five seconds of material that would 31 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: have ended both of our careers. I'm Matt, Yeah that 32 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: was great. I'm trying to die so, you know, and me, 33 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: you and I both got the Oh wow. You stopped 34 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: me from making my next joke, which was going to 35 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: be to say that we both contracted the Epstein. Oh 36 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. That's when you get 37 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: drunk and make Jeffrey Epstein jokes that get you canceled. 38 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: Get it, get it. That's not a bad one. Okay, 39 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: Yeah I didn't hate it, But my god, we have 40 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: to end in a lot. Out of this beginning we've 41 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: been rec forty five years we have we have all 42 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: forty five years have been cut. If you want to 43 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: hear the cut versions, go to the dot com. Oh yeah, 44 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: the truths behind the Bastards. Yeah, this is where Matt 45 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: matt Leeb and I matt Leeb and I have a 46 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: weekly podcast where we do our b sides with Jordan Person. 47 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: We drink a single pint of cider. We don't sleep 48 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: for twenty seven days. It's a great time. So let's 49 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: move on from the unpleasant story. You're making Epstein jokes 50 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 1: and you're laughing about it. Look, we have to move 51 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: on from the depressing tale of Jordan Peterson to talk 52 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: about a less sad individual, Joseph Mangola. Um oops. So 53 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: in his early days at school, Mangola still leaned towards 54 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: dentistry as a career due to the fact again his 55 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: homeland had or his hometown had no dentists. But of 56 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: course it's his conversation that he asked with his friend 57 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: Julius Diisbach, who's a year older than him, who tells 58 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: him dentistries too specialize. You should do a broader thing. 59 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: You like anthropology. There's a degree program and anthropology and 60 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: genetics just do that. So he decides to take his 61 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: friend's advice and kind of so some people will argue 62 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: that Mangola was a narcissist. You know, I'm not a 63 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: I can't diagnose anybody with anything. Um, it's certainly a 64 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: thing that gets brought up by including by like professionals 65 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: who go over his notes and stuff. Because he wrote 66 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: a memoir and years later if TikTok has taught me anything, 67 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: oh for sure, for sure he had that add he 68 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: actually is your keys. Yeah. So I don't really know 69 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: how to finish that joke, mat But what I do 70 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: know is that David Marwell will point out that, like 71 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: there's evidence kind of in his later writings that he 72 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: sort of mythologizes this conversation with his friend D's back 73 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: where these backs like, hey, you know, maybe consider doing 74 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: a broader thing, he writes. Quote, despite the circumstances a 75 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: casual conversation, Mingola's choice was not superficial. Indeed, he claims 76 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: it awakened a passion in him. I had no idea 77 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: then of the mini cited nature of medicine, but the 78 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: kindled flame of enthusiasm would retain its warmth if not 79 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: it's brilliant luminosity forever. How was it possible in so 80 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: short a time to transform someone who was, one could 81 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: almost say, resigned, to someone who was enchanted. Mingola answered 82 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: his own question by suggesting that his friend had unlicked 83 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: to potential that was already present within him. Diesbach was 84 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: a magician, filled with the beauty, grandeur, and high values 85 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: of his science and art, who did not speak of 86 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: the practical possibilities of medicine or the possibility for employment. Rather, 87 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: he knew only, probably quite unconsciously, how to incite my 88 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: scientific curiosity and how to translate it into enthusiasm for 89 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: such a versatile subject. He need it only to tell 90 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: me which subjects I would need to take in the 91 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: first semester, and my decision was unshakable, as if I 92 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: had never even thought of another subject to study. Mangola 93 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: elevated the intervention of his friend at just the right 94 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: moment to mythic proportions, comparing the encounter to that if 95 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: Athena visiting Odysseus in the form of a deer. The 96 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: eerie fact that he never saw his friend again caused 97 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: him to muse that perhaps it really had been Athena 98 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: in disguise. That dude definitely just said I gotta get 99 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: the fuck away from Yeah, they're just like talk and 100 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: Bappo's life. Maybe I should be a dentist. And he's like, 101 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, you seem more interfitt in anthropology. Are 102 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: you a Greek god? Are you mad? Jake? You know what, man, 103 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to another country. I feel like Germany 104 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: is not in a good mark here. If you flame 105 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: inside my soul, a flame that tells me to dude, 106 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: so horrible jeans. I just imagine like Desbak becomes like 107 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: a like a pediatrician or something. He moves to Iowa, 108 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: you know, nineteen forty five. He's like waking up in 109 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: the morning, he puts on the radio, he's got a 110 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: cup of coffee. Story about Mangela comes on. He's like, 111 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: ah shit, oh boy, I can't tell anybody about this. Yeah, 112 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: don't inspire. Never knew him, never knew him. No, no, no, no, 113 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: my name is Disbach, not Desbak. Yeah sorry, no, no, no, 114 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: you got the wrong guy. Wrong guy. I've never been 115 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: to Germany. Um So I don't know the message of 116 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: this is, never inspire your friends if your if your 117 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: friends say I want to be a dentist, say yeah, 118 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: teeth fucking rule bro? Yeah whatever, Yeah, I am not 119 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: getting involved. You never know where the branch. I don't 120 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: know what the fuck you should do. Why are you 121 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: talking to me? I'm not athen a fuck off? Yeah. Yeah. 122 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: If a friend ever asked you what to do with 123 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: their life, tell them I am not a god. I 124 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: don't know. World needs janitors. Many janitors have pretty much 125 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: never done anything wrong. Do something simple and valuable. Yes, So. 126 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: Mangelis first few years in school were characterized by a 127 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: growing obsession with genetics and evolution. The men who tutored him, 128 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: first in Munich and then in Frankfurt were adherents of 129 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: a school of evolutionary theory that believed modern society and 130 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: social justice movements had corrupted the purity of Darwinian evolution. 131 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: There's a big attitude among the Nazis, very similar wording 132 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: to what the right use of today. That social justice, 133 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: which they called it, was a Jewish invention, right, and 134 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: it was specifically it was part of an insidious Jewish plot, 135 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: because if you believe all the shit about race science, 136 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: then doing stuff like feeding the starving like putting vagrants 137 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: in housing. You're doing that to weaken the bloodline of 138 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: the Germans by allowing those people to persist in breed, 139 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: and so it's an attempt to betray Germany for the 140 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: next war. If you've wondered, why are the social justice 141 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: stuff on the right, like where a lot of that 142 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: comes from. That's a big part of it. Yeah, yeah, 143 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: you scratch it a little bit, and then all of 144 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: a sudden you get into like Judeoe Bolshevism or some 145 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: weird shit cultural Marxism, and then there's like, for some reason, 146 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: a star of David. You're like, oh, okay. So one 147 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: of Joseph's first mentors was doctor Ernst Rudin, who was 148 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: a prominent backer of the idea that doctors should proactively 149 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: destroy what he called life devoid of value. This would 150 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: evolve into the Nazi concept of life unworthy of life, 151 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: which is kind of the most direct translation of how 152 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: Germans talked about the Nazis talked about this in German. 153 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: Rudin would go on to author the first Nazi compulsory 154 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: sterilization laws, which were instituted in July of nineteen thirty three. 155 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: This is seven months after the Enabling Act. I think 156 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: or seven months after Hitler rises to power. Thing, it's 157 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: a little less than that after the Enabling Act, but 158 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: that should the fact that this happens so quickly, this 159 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: is almost the first thing the Nazis do, should give 160 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: you any idea of the centrality the Nazis placed on 161 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: this idea. The Law for the Protection of Hereditary Health 162 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: provided the first list of conditions that qualified one from 163 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: mandatory sterilization. Schizophrenia, manic depression, epilepsy, hereditary blindness, deafness, Huntington's disease, 164 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: all physical deformities, and what was called feeble mindedness, alcoholism, 165 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: drug addiction. These are all believed to be hereditary and 166 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: thus problems that could only be stopped by excising them 167 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: from the human genome. The fact that alcoholism is on 168 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: there is funny. If you've ever liked spent thirty five 169 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: seconds in Berlin a single, you can buy a leader 170 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: of beer for two dollars and drink it on a train. 171 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: Like clarifying question, what do you consider alcoholism? You just 172 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: just want to know how many beers were talking about? Yeah, 173 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I agree, very degenerate. Anyone having more than 174 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: sixteen to twenty beers a day. You know. Goodles have 175 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: to die, you know, so, yeah, that's some good. It's 176 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: always fun to do jokes like that with the Germans 177 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: because you know, they gave up the right to be office. Absolutely. Yeah, 178 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 1: it's like I don't know Texans. So casual observers of 179 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: the Nazi regime often accused Hitler of being obsessed with 180 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: racial purity and believing that Germans were Aryan superman. Now 181 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: it's usually not worth like just correcting people, but that 182 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: is fundamentally wrong. That is not what Hitler believed. He 183 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: did not believe the Germans were Aryan superman. Instead, he 184 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: believed in the perfectability of Aryan descended people like the 185 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: Germans through careful scientific guidance. And that is different. He's 186 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: not saying we are superman. He is saying, using science 187 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: and breeding, we can become superman by excising these these 188 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 1: like degenerate influences from our bloodline and encouraging people who 189 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 1: are more pure to breed together. Right, That is a 190 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: that is a different thing. Yeah, he was doing a manifestation, 191 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: you know, he's doing wellness basically, Well, I think I 192 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: think the reason it is worth kind of pointing out 193 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: why the more common belief is wrong is because the 194 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: common belief is just racism, just like, hey, we're better 195 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: than everybody, which is less unsettling and less toxic than 196 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: what the Nazis believed, which is we can make people like. 197 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: A lot of the Holocaust comes because we are attempting 198 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: to make people better, right, that is what Mingle. The 199 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: people he kills will die in service of this goal, 200 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: so it is important to get that right. Obviously. Hitler 201 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: is a massive advocate and supporter of the German medical 202 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: establishment that was the most important part of the German 203 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: state to him, and one of his first speeches is Fearer. 204 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: Hitler addressed the National Socialist German Physicians League or in 205 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: s DAB. He told them that lawyers and engineers and 206 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: architects were all replaceable in his vision of the future. 207 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: None of those career paths were crucial to Nazism succeeding, 208 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: but National Socialist doctors were utterly necessary. He told them, 209 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: I cannot do without you for a single day, not 210 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: a single if not for you, if you fail me, 211 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: then all is lost. For what good are our struggles 212 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: if the health of our people is in danger. Key 213 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: to this idea is the concept that doctors should not 214 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: be concerned primarily with the health of the individual, for 215 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: this is secondary to the health of the Volk or people. 216 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: This means that a Nazi doctor is not violating his 217 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: Hippocratic oath if he sterilizes or kills people as long 218 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: as those people are threats to the well being of 219 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: the people's racial community. Right fun, Yeah, that is why. 220 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: That is how they justify I'm not saying they're not, 221 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: obviously they are in fact violating the hypocritic, but this 222 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: is how they see it. Right and early Nsdab Guideline stated, 223 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: from the first day, we have made it clear that 224 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: the major turnabout in the world view of our days, 225 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: an essential portion of which is vanquishing the individual through 226 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: experiencing the people, must be the guiding principle of the 227 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: morality and ethics of the medical profession. That is a 228 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: crucial phrase. Vanquishing the individual through experiencing the people. That's 229 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: the holocaust. That is the holocaust in a nutshell, Young 230 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: Joseph would spend the best days of his career vanquishing 231 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: individuals in order to support the Volk. He was not 232 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: an immediately committed Nazi, though for in those last days 233 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: of Weimar, the German nationalist right was large enough to 234 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: fill several movements that did not all see eye to eye. 235 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: Rather than joining the Nazis early on in March of 236 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: nineteen thirty one, he joined the youth wing of the Stahalhelm, 237 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: an ex soldier organization who marched in uniform. And we're 238 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: kind of like a more organized ver you know, like 239 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: the Oathkeepers. How they're mostly like silly bastards. This is 240 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: the Oathkeepers. If they had all spent like four years 241 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: drowning in the blood of their best friends in the 242 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: trash exactly, just yeah, watching all of their homies get 243 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: sucked into yeah mud bogs and sucking in mustard gas. Yeah, 244 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 1: if the oath Keepers had been at J six, they 245 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: would not have been turned away by Mason tier Gas exactly. 246 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: Or yeah, if the Stallhelm sorry had been at J six, 247 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: not the Oathkeepers. They're a bunch of seditious babies. Not 248 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: to praise them. These guys are far right. Their assholes, 249 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: They massacre Communists in the street. They're horrible people. They're 250 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: just frightening. So as he progresses through his studies in 251 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: the nineteen thirties, he comes to conceive of himself as 252 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: a biological soldier for the health of the Volk, which 253 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: is actually a direct quote from the Reich Health Office 254 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: president Hans Writer, who added that the destiny of the 255 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: German Volk rests entirely in the hands of the German physician. 256 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: Mangolist professors were not all committed Nazis, of course, nor 257 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: was all of this genetic science that he studied based 258 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: on pseudoscientific principles. One of his teachers was Carl von Frisch, 259 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: a zoologist who authored pioneering studies of honeybees and won 260 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: the Nobel Prize for Medicine in nineteen seventy three. It's 261 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: Frisch who mangel A credits with sparking his lifelong fascination 262 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: with zoology. Quote in such a lasting way that I 263 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: have kept this fire my entire life and have all 264 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: too often been warmed by it. Frisch would come into 265 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: contact and again fritch is one of the guys who 266 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: inspires Mangola to go down this path. He is not 267 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: a Nazi. He actually gets in trouble with the Nazis 268 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: a number of times because he insists on employing Jewish 269 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: assistance after they come to power, many of whom are women. 270 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: He employs a lot of Jewish female scientists during the 271 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: Third Reich, and he almost gets like like he gets fired, 272 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: but he gets brought back because he's just such a 273 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: good scientist. But he actually protects a lot of Jewish 274 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: people by basically sheltering them through his fame. Another scientist 275 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: who teaches Mangola and is this kind of guy, is 276 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: Otto Violent. Violent is a chemistry professor. Mangel actually does 277 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: not like Violent. He thinks he's brilliant, but he's a 278 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: bad teacher because he's just more interested in his research. 279 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: Violind actually wins a Nobel Prize. He's a very very 280 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: good scientist, and during the Nazi regime, Violent also shields 281 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: Jewish students using his notoriety to protect them from the Holocaust. 282 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: And that's part of the complexity of this is that 283 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: these guys are not hardcore ray scientists. Obviously, they're just geneticists. 284 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: They're doing that kind of science. But it all gets 285 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: lumped intogether. So a number of the people that Mangela 286 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: admires are folks who will risk their lives to protect 287 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: Jews during the Holocaust. M just again you know, complicated. 288 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: M Yeah, you know, yeah, it's uh, it's sounds like 289 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: the recurring theme is just like you know, you're taking 290 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: just you're picking and choosing a little bit of facts 291 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: from each you know, exactly exactly each study to try 292 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: to bolster your weird race science thing. So yeah, where 293 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: as opposed to like Fritsch and Violin, who are very 294 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: focused have like really are have become incredible experts on 295 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: a specific thing from deep deep rigor, he's just kind 296 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: of picking a la carte shit and ignoring the whole 297 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna shield a bunch of Jews during the Holocaust 298 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: because it's fucked up stuff that they do. See this one. 299 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: You should be a dentist. Yes, it's a specialty, but 300 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: you know what, you won't be a Nazi. Yeah maybe, 301 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. There were a lot of not one 302 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: of the guys he works with that Auschwitz isn't acted dentist. 303 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: St Yeah. Um. Anyway, Mangola imbibed the scientific lessons of 304 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: these men, but obviously not their morality. Unfortunately, this was 305 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,479 Speaker 1: also the case for the teacher he respected most as 306 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: an undergraduate, Siegfried Moliere, the director of the Munich University 307 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: Anatomical Institute. I'm going to quote from David Marwell's book. 308 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: Mangola here, Molier or Malier whatever, counseled his students that 309 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: a good physician must conceive of body and soul as 310 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 1: a unity. He spoke of the majesty of death that 311 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: they would encounter in their work. Later, when Mollier instructed 312 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: them in the in the Anatomy Lab, Mangola wrote that 313 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: the great teacher wanted them to have a deep, even 314 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: intuitive understanding of anatomy, and not just memorized terms. He 315 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: definitely demonstrated what was visible through dissection, the functional relationship 316 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: and the structural efficiency of the components of the human body. 317 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: Mangola was particularly moved by Mollier's introduction to the dissection 318 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: labs my entire life, even in the most difficult situations. 319 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: I can hear his solo words from that time when 320 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: he spoke of the rights of the dead, that we 321 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: should always approach the dead with dignity and gravity. Yeah, 322 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: as long as they're dead. M Yeah, I mean he 323 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: doesn't really do that. It's one of those It's weird 324 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: how much he idolizes this guy, because that is I 325 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: would argue not how he treats the dead, although he 326 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: I will explain his argument a little more later when 327 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: we get to that portion of it. So, during his 328 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: first years in college, Joseph still suffered from the after 329 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: effects of blood poisoning that had darkened his adolescence. The 330 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: future arbiter of racial health was not well enough to 331 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: walk the distance between his various classes, so his parents 332 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: bought him a car. This proved to be the saving 333 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: grace of his social life. Having a car made it 334 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 1: easier to make friends, or at least to hang around 335 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: with other young people who needed a ride. He's exact 336 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: type of guy. He's the car guy. Yeah, he's the 337 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: car guys school, who's like, he's really intense, he writes 338 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: a lot of poetry. He's kind of fucking weirdo. But yeah, 339 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: we're all going to the beach. We gotta get yeah 340 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: fucking Joey m Yeah. I mean my version of that 341 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: was the car guy who was ten years older than 342 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: us and would buy us beer. But yeah, same kind 343 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,479 Speaker 1: of guy. Really, I'm sure maybe he's a Nazi now. So. 344 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: In his memoirs, Mengela remembered this period as a lonely 345 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: One quote It is precisely this feeling of being alone, 346 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: the lack of an intimate connection to family, the lack 347 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: of a true friendship, that I felt so bitterly in 348 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: the first few semesters. He notes that he engaged in 349 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: superficial pleasure seeking, using his access to money to engage 350 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,239 Speaker 1: in the trappings of a social life while living a 351 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: shallow existence. Mengela claimed that during his early college years 352 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: he did not seek an honest friendship. He claimed, failing 353 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: to overcome his isolation disguised this inner and ability in 354 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: an easily misinterpreted preservation of the remoteness of cool impersonality 355 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: and unsocial arrogance, which may have had the effect of 356 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: discouraging all who otherwise came to me in friendship and affection. 357 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: In other words, he can't let anybody in, so he 358 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: pretends that he's better than everyone else so that he 359 00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: doesn't have to actually get to know anybody and accept vulnerability. Um, yeah, 360 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: I mean, normal adolescent you know struggles, Yeah, safe for 361 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 1: the whole you know, the race science stuff aside from 362 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: the race science, yeah, pretty pretty understandable. So I mean, 363 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: at this point in his life, you could write a 364 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: nice little coming of age novel. Sure if the end yeah, 365 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 1: it's different. Yeah, I'm actually working on a series of 366 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: Nazi coming of age novels. Um. Oh yeah, no, it's 367 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: gonna be gonna be good. Um, gonna be yeah, exactly. 368 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: That's what we don't have enough of. Why why a 369 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: Nazi books? Yeah, yeah it is. There's a there's a 370 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: series of detective books that I read from time to time, 371 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: the Bernie Gunther books, which are like about a detective 372 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: who is not a Nazi but is first in the 373 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: Weimar State and that is in the Nazi state, and 374 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: because he's such a good detective, he gets like brought 375 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: in by Nazis when there's these murder mysteries or assassinations 376 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: of Natzi, he's like forced into the SS. It's really 377 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: there's there's some good books. There's some weird stuff in 378 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: a couple of them. Um yeah, like it's it's firmly 379 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: anti Nazi. He portrays them all as monsters, but he 380 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 1: has to do it. There's some sweatiness to explain how 381 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: are you in the SS and like not part of 382 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: war craft. It's it's weird some, but there's a pretty 383 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: good books about anything fiction. You can go in any 384 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: world you want and instead you want to make something. 385 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, guys, it's hard to explain. So the books, 386 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: the earlier books in the series, where he's like a 387 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: detective in Weimar, Berlin during the fighting between Nazis and Communists, 388 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: there's some really cool stuff there because he knows his 389 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: stuff about the historical period. Some of the later stuff 390 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: gets a little weirder, but you know, if you're looking 391 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,479 Speaker 1: for a fucking Nazi themed detective novel, there you go. 392 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: So starting in nineteen thirty four, Mangela began taking pediatric 393 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: medicine courses with the whimsically named doctor Franz Hamburger, a 394 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: proponent of right wing Vulkish medicine who joined the Nazi 395 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: Party that same year. His clinic advocated for euthanasia and 396 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: regularly sent disabled children to a year by hotspital, where 397 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: hundreds of them were murdered by the state, like Gurger 398 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: doing war crimes. And I'm just like all I can 399 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: pictures Mayor meet Cheese. Yeah, it's really well, you know. 400 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: Mayor mccheese was actually had some strong opinions on racial hygiene, 401 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: which is a big part of why all of his 402 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: patties are one hundred percent beef. But anyway, Um, it 403 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: was his work for Doctor Hamburger that would get Mangela 404 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: his first kind of experience with twin studies, which is 405 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: going to become he's going to like become a lifelong 406 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: sort of he's going to develop a lifelong fascination for twins. 407 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: And we're going to talk about why in a scientific 408 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: sense that was the case. But first, Matt, you want 409 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: to talk about some products, some services. I love products, 410 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: I love services. I love being told what to buy 411 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: and want to do it. You know, we are often 412 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: told by our marketing department that there's nothing advertisers like 413 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: more than being led into an ad by talking about 414 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: Joseph Mangela's twin studies. Um, that really, that really moves 415 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: the subscription boxes. Yeah. I mean, you know, people here 416 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,239 Speaker 1: twins and they're not immediately horned up. Yeah, man doing it. 417 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: Speaking of twins. We got a two for the price 418 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: of one deal. We'll probably bleep some of that. Ah, 419 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: here's some ads. Oh we're back, so then and now 420 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: then being Nazi times, twin studies are considered incredibly useful 421 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: for studying the difference between, for example, nature and nurture. 422 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: On health outcomes. Right, there's two kinds of twins. There's 423 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: identical twins and fraternal twins. Identical twins come from the 424 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: same you know, baby goo things zygote or whatever, um, 425 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: and thus differences because they you know, are genetically identical, 426 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: the differences between them can be kind of attributed. It's 427 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: either going to be an environmental or a social factor. Right, 428 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: when you have a health who you are? I didn't 429 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: know that. Yeah, I have a twin sister, and that's 430 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: the other kind. Um, So you're not as useful to 431 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: Joseph Mangle. He's still useless. He still would have been 432 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: interested in you guys, don't don't don't get me wrong, 433 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: Yeah he would, but he would have found a different 434 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: reason maybe yeah, yeah, well yeah, I mean they use 435 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: both kind of twins. So twins are useful for studying 436 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: hereditary illnesses right, for among other things. Mangel's first attempt 437 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: to study twins involved the daughters of a colleague and 438 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: ended an awkward failure. He like comes over to her 439 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: house and he's like, hey, can I talk to your daughters? 440 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: And she's like, what do you want to talk to 441 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: him about? Oh? You know, twins, stuff, sign stuff, and 442 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: they're like, they're like weirded out by him. They don't 443 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: agree to work with him. Good good parent in call 444 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: not letting Joseph Mangel and are your twins Nazi? But 445 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: I'm not a fucking weirdot. Get the hell out of here, Joey. 446 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: And the fact that he does this so awkwardly is 447 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: kind of evidence of the fact that while twin studies 448 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: are incredibly valuable, scientists who are in this field are 449 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: always looking for groups of twins that they can carry 450 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: out studies on. It's like number one, it's always hard 451 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: to get parents to agree for that. There's a limit 452 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: to the kind of studies you can do when you 453 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,719 Speaker 1: consider them human beings. And there's not that many twins, 454 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: so that's a problem for guys like Joseph. It's not 455 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: always going to be a problem for guys like Joseph, 456 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: but it's it's a problem for him at this point. 457 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 1: On April fifth, nineteen thirty three, Hitler announced that German 458 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: doctors needed to move with all energy towards solving the 459 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: race question. The center of this scientific effort was again 460 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 1: based around the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Human Genetics, 461 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: and eugenics. In nineteen thirty four, another bout of ill 462 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: health forced Mangela to quit the Staalhelm, which by then 463 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: had been absorbed into the Nazi brown Shirts. He had 464 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: not yet joined the party officially. He decided his physical 465 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 1: weakness meant he needed to dedicate his energy towards his studies, 466 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 1: and so he did. As Gerald Posner writes, the man 467 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: who gave Mangela his first real leg up on the 468 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: academic ladder was Professor T. Mollinson of Munich University. His 469 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,479 Speaker 1: experience in the field of heredity and racial hygiene led 470 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: Mollinson to claim that he could tell if a person 471 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: had Jewish forebears simply by looking at a photograph. In 472 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: nineteen thirty five, Mollinson awarded Mangola a PhD for his 473 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: thesis entitled Racial Morphological Research on the lower jaw section 474 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: of four racial groups entitled Oh just look at him? 475 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: Yeah just ladies, guys, Yeah, yeah, now always tell Posner 476 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: will will argue that, like, uh, Mangels Report number one. 477 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 1: He's like, Mallinson is pretty unscientific, and a lot of 478 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: his claims. Mangels Report is very scientific, it's well argued, 479 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: it's not explicitly racist. Like he's not dropping a bunch 480 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: of slurs. He's being like, look, you know, we have 481 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: all these job bones from people from this part of 482 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: the world, and they have this in whatever. That's how 483 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: Posner describes the study. Mollison himself was more critical of 484 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: of mangelis study, calling his work clumsy, although acknowledging it 485 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: fulfilled his its requirements. So, like his thesis advisor is like, 486 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: it's not great, but I guess you get a PhD. Anyway, 487 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: you didn't fail, so here you yeah, now, yeah, given 488 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: the fact that, like the guy who judged his work 489 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: as clumsy was like, the hey, it looks like a 490 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 1: jude to me. Dude, I don't know if you want 491 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: to like take that as an actual criticism that said, 492 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: so that we can actually criticize this. In two thousand 493 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: and eight, a group of modern geneticists analyzed mangels thesis, 494 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 1: and they pointed out that he makes a lot of 495 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: very basic statistical errors and failures of analysis, and most 496 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 1: kind of the biggest thing to critique about this is 497 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,959 Speaker 1: that his obsession with the concept of race has no 498 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: grounding and objective science, so like there's there's not really 499 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 1: a center of hard science to what he's doing here, 500 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 1: mangel Is in person questioning went better. He was awarded 501 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: his Doctor of Philosophy degree summa cum laude after being 502 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: drilled by a board of judges or whatever in November 503 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: of nineteen thirty five. Now this is the point at 504 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 1: which things started to look up for the new doctor. 505 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: His health took a turn for the better as he 506 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: opted for the time honored strategy of just forcing himself 507 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: to sprint until he paid blood. Um, this actually worked somehow, 508 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: So I don't know, like, yeah, no, menimal science is 509 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 1: weird that way, where it's just like, you know, yeah, 510 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: people would do the leeches and stuff, and then sometimes 511 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: they be cured and you'd be like, I guess, look, 512 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: I won't agree with Joseph Minglaw on anything, but this 513 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: sprint until you piss blood. That's my that's my medical 514 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: advice for all of our listeners. Yeah um yeah, yeah good, 515 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: that's my pilates. We actually sell a line of running 516 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: shorts that just have a red line right down the 517 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: middle so that no one will no one will notice 518 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: you just be like, no, these are just my running storts. 519 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: It's a racing stripe behind. Yeah good, stuff. So Joseph's 520 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: first paid medical job was at the University of Leipzig 521 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: Medical Clinic. He passed his state medical exam in the 522 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: summer of thirty six and he worked there for four 523 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: months as a junior doctor. This was a requirement for 524 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: his degree. You know, it's kind of the first step 525 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: of becoming an mds. You have to spend some time 526 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: at a hospital. He hates this. Working with live of 527 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: human patience is not his strong suit. He finds the 528 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: work kind of degrading. The only benefit, as far as 529 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: Joseph saw it, was that he met a young woman 530 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: named Irene Shoneban, the daughter of a professor, who he 531 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: falls in love with. Now Irene is nineteen and Joseph 532 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: is twenty five, and shortly after they fall for each other, 533 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: Joseph receives the first big break of his career, an 534 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: appointment to work at the new right third Reich Institute 535 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: for Heredity, Biology and Racial Purity in Frankfurt under the 536 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: prominent Nazi doctor Otmar von Verschure. Yeah yeah, it's a normal, 537 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: fun name to have certain Yeah yeah, not a sketchy 538 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: ass Nazi name. Now and Atmar, he had worked at 539 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: the Kaiser Weelham Institute. We talked about him last episode. 540 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: He's the guy who's really interested in twins. And I'm 541 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: going to quote now from the book Racial Hygiene Medicine 542 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: under the Nazis. In the Third Reich, twin studies were 543 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: lavishly funded as part of an effort to prove that 544 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: heredity was the key to many human talents and imperfections. 545 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: Twin studies purportedly demonstrated the heredibility of everything from epilepsy, criminality, memory, 546 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: and hernias to tuberculosis, cancer, schizophrenia, and divorce. In nineteen 547 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: thirty three, Ottmar Freiher von Verschure published a book purporting 548 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: to provide exact ratios of relative influence of heredity and 549 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: environment in a wide range of bodily traits. He derived 550 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: his data from the study of several thousand identical and 551 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: non identical twins. Verschure's studies were followed by hundreds of others. 552 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: By nineteen thirty six, Ottoreesh's Institute for the Study of 553 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: Racian Vulkul examine at twelve hundred and fifty pairs of twins, 554 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: recording forty two separate physical or physiognomic traits for each pair. 555 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: Eugene Fisher called twin studies the single most important research 556 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: tool in the field of racial hygiene. Verschure called twin 557 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: research the sovereign method for genetic research and humans. Rachel 558 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: hygienists were able to convince Nazi authorities that twin studies 559 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: warranted substantial government support. In nineteen thirty nine, Interior Minister 560 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: Wilhelm Frick ordered the registration of all twins, triplets or 561 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,239 Speaker 1: quadruplets born in the Reich for the express purpose of 562 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: research to isolect the effects of nature and nurture. I'm sorry, 563 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: this just all of this sounds incredibly horny to me. 564 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: Just the constant, like fucking focus on twins and identical twins. 565 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: Just I don't know why. In my head this is 566 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: just very horny, pilled. Yeah, it's also weird that you're 567 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: like registering your twins, Like you give birth to twins 568 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: and the doctor comes out, you've got a license for 569 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: those twins. Yeah, I need to put them in this 570 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: database of twins. No reason, no reason, It's fine. Yeah. So, 571 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: while Mollison had viewed Mangola as a mediocre student, Von 572 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: Verschure treats him like a protege. Now Von Verschure is 573 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: also a devoted Nazi. He credited Hitler as being the 574 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: first statesman to recognize hereditary biology and race hygiene. Von 575 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: Verschure didn't just consider himself in his institute to be 576 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: organs of science. Though they were part of the National 577 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: defense apparatus, He defined their role as caring for German 578 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: genes to provide such a strong basis that it will 579 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: withstand any attacks from outside. Now that Mangola was working 580 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: at the heart of Nazi race science, joining the party 581 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: had become compulsory. He saw it as a moral necessity. 582 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: The problem was that after nineteen thirty three, the Nazis 583 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: had closed party membership, worried their assent to power would 584 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,239 Speaker 1: draw on a bunch of Johnny come Lately fascists who 585 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: wanted social benefits of being in the party but weren't committed. 586 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,479 Speaker 1: Now there were ways around the block, and Mangoli's prior 587 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: membership in the Staalhelm ensured him special consideration. He was 588 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: approved in nineteen thirty eight and became party member number 589 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: five five seven four nine seven four. So that's good, 590 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: that's not a bad number. Yeah, that's you know, yea 591 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: not an early adopter, but you know, he got there. 592 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: He got there. So his first duty for the fascist 593 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: state was helping the new judicial system determine who was 594 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: and who was not a Jew cohabitating with an area 595 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: and spouse. It's illegal to be in an inner, you know, 596 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: race marriage, as the Nazis considerate. So you have a 597 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: bunch of cases where people will say like, I'm not 598 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: Jewish or whatever. Um, so it's cool for me to 599 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: stay married, and you have to determine whether or not 600 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: they meet the legal definition of a Jew under the 601 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: Nuremberg race laws. Yeah, it's super fun. Yeah. So they're 602 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: known as me having dinner with my Jewish side of 603 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: the family and I'm just being like, well, you're not 604 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: really Jewish shure. Yeah. So it's a long line, yeah, 605 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: long line of that. So in the Nazi version of this, 606 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: you can't just like, it's not as clear as just 607 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 1: like looking at the law. To determine whether or not 608 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: someone counts as Jewish in this, you have to have 609 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: like was probably like, come on, I just looked at him. 610 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: I can tell no, I mean that is actually me, Matt, 611 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: you joke. That is actually the standard is having a 612 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: doc be like yeah, it looks like a Jew to 613 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: may So most of the it's one of those things 614 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: where like this guy von Brochure. One of the things 615 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: he does is he's helping the courts determine who isn't 616 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,760 Speaker 1: isn't Jewish. He has a bunch of his assistants helping. 617 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,319 Speaker 1: Most of them are just like Mollissa, and they're like, yeah, 618 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: it looks like a Jew to may or Nah, that 619 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: guy doesn't. In the jew Mangola is develops a reputation 620 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,879 Speaker 1: for being obsessive about this where he's doing all the genealogy. 621 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: He's like spending hours looking at pictures of their jaws 622 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 1: from different angles. And it's actually as a result of 623 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: this his judgments are often beneficial to the person being tried. Overall, 624 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: he found that they were not a full Jew two 625 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: thirds of the time. This is not due to a 626 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: lack of racism, but more to the fact that he 627 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 1: was weirdly obsessed with jaws. There was one odd case 628 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 1: in July of nineteen thirty seven that biographers were all 629 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: will often bring up, when Mangola was asked to analyze 630 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: a man with an Aryan mother and a legally Jewish 631 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 1: father who claimed that his real dad had in an 632 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: Aryan and had had an affair with his mother. So 633 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,320 Speaker 1: this guy, on paper his dad is Jewish, but he's like, no, 634 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: it's not my real dad. My mom was sleeping around, 635 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: so it's cool for me to be married. So this 636 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: is kind of a thorny case. And Mangola decided that 637 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: the man was a full Jew, but the court disagreed 638 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: because they were like, well, based on just like the 639 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: report you wrote, you say, there's actually a pretty good 640 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 1: chance that this guy's claims you're true, and if that's 641 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: the case, we're going to give him the benefit of 642 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: the doubt, which points to kind of the fact that 643 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: these Nazi race courts are a lot more inconsistent and 644 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 1: messy than you might think, right, because this hierarchy they're 645 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: trying to develop is not based on rigorous silence, right, 646 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,879 Speaker 1: it's all weirdos speculating about jaws and ears and shit. 647 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna quote though from Mangola, people doing the look 648 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 1: at him test and then yeah, look at him arguing 649 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 1: amongst each other. That's gonna be a fucking annoying, boring 650 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: life to just be the person who's just like trying 651 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: to you know, like always over the dinner table. You're 652 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,879 Speaker 1: just arguing with people over pictures of various possible Jews. No, 653 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: he has a Bohemian elope, Yeah, a Roman nose, God damage, 654 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 1: he's a Laplander. Can't you tell a good old timey racism? 655 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: So he did. Yeah, I'm gonna quote now from Mangola 656 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: unmasking the Angel of Death. Mangola's examination included, where possible, 657 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: a comparison of twelve different areas, including blood type, in factors, 658 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: eyes and eyebrows, as well as finger and footprints. He 659 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 1: determined that there was nothing to rule out the paternity 660 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: of Alexander's legal father, that some areas of similarity made 661 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: the paternity probable, and that there was no pronounced similarity 662 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,479 Speaker 1: between the photograph of the alleged biological father and the son. 663 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: So it's a it's a peculiar situation to try and 664 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: analyze the decisions of a Nazi court wherein both sides 665 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: are Nazis, but one side saying, nah, this guy's not 666 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,439 Speaker 1: a Jew, he could stay married, and Mangola saying, oh, 667 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,280 Speaker 1: he's definitely a Jew. He should, you know, be arrested. 668 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what father this guy is, 669 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,439 Speaker 1: just like everyone agrees, I'm a cuck. At least that's fun. 670 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:09,320 Speaker 1: So this guy, Vershure. When the court rules against Mangela, 671 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: Vershure is angry, saying that their decision undermined the Nuremberg 672 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: Laws by turning a Jew into a half Jew. David 673 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:22,240 Speaker 1: Marwell continues. Doctor Walter Gross of the Racial Policy Office 674 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: of the Nazi Party responded to Vershure by criticizing Mangola 675 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: for the lack of clear and precise information and his 676 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: racial determination, and for his fickle testimony at trial. He concluded, 677 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: I do not think that the court would have ignored 678 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,879 Speaker 1: a totally clear position of the assistant Mangola. Mangela must 679 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: have learned from his mistake. Wiss noted, since she was 680 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,720 Speaker 1: unable to find any other instances where the court questioned 681 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: a racial certificate that he issued. So you know he 682 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: learns from this. That's good, little hero's journey there for 683 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,399 Speaker 1: our race scientist friend, Joseph Mangla. That's good. That's good. 684 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 1: An't that good? Yeah? That's nice? You know what else 685 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: is nice? Matt? What what's nice? Great? Mmmm? Products and services? 686 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 1: That's right? You know. While Nazi race science was often 687 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 1: arbitrary and a scientific the science that our advertisers used 688 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: to target you with. The perfect ad is flawless. So 689 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: don't question it, don't ask anything, don't think. Just give them, 690 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: give them your money. You know. Uh, we're all back, 691 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,840 Speaker 1: We're all feeling good. So the inconsistency and arbitrariness of 692 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 1: most Nazi racial designations came with some minor consequences from 693 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: Mangela himself. As he'd risen to work at von Verschuer's side, 694 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: he'd made the decision to join the SS while he should. 695 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 1: Stoffle had started as a simple bodyguard unit for Hitler 696 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: back in the old street fighting days under Heinrich Himler's leadership, 697 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: at it to grow into a state within a state 698 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: dedicated to cultivating and breeding a Nazi racial elite. As such, 699 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: it was a natural place for an ambitious young race 700 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 1: scientist like Mingle It to join. Doctors actually joined the 701 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,240 Speaker 1: SS in greater numbers than members of any other vocation. 702 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: Did you know that? I did not know that, But 703 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,480 Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense and makes me sad 704 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,240 Speaker 1: and angry. Do you want to know how I hate doctors? 705 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,720 Speaker 1: Do you want to guess how much more likely doctors 706 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 1: were to be in the SS than normal employed German males. 707 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 1: I couldn't possibly know the answer to that. It is 708 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:37,359 Speaker 1: seven times seven times likelier than any Yeah. So an 709 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: underdiscuss story from Nazi Germany is that not only did 710 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:44,319 Speaker 1: doctors love the SS, Germany has at the time the 711 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: Nazis come to power the most advanced and progressive medical 712 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 1: system in the world. Fully half of all doctors in 713 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: Germany joined the Nazi Party. Physicians joined the Nazi Party 714 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,840 Speaker 1: at a rate higher than members of any other profession. 715 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: By comparison, only about twenty percent German teachers joined the party. Um, 716 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: doctors in Germany cannot get enough of the Nazis. Uh. 717 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 1: You know what? Hitler actually was kind of the original 718 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:17,840 Speaker 1: podcaster or matt the Adolf Hitler experience talking about mushrooms 719 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 1: are good. He was the first politician in at least 720 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 1: in Europe to really make great use of the radio 721 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:31,240 Speaker 1: and of microphones. Can you pull up that clip? Yeah, 722 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,800 Speaker 1: Hitler and his buddy that the fucking Brazilian jiu jitsu 723 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: expert talking about vaccines. Good stuff. So Michael CHIPS's Everybody 724 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 1: God podcast, Hitler actually makes a ton of sense sense. Yeah, No, 725 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 1: that that is absolutely what he would have been doing today. Um, 726 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: that's not even a question in my mind. He's brought 727 00:40:54,120 --> 00:41:05,759 Speaker 1: you by me. Undy's well the only like a specific 728 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: kind for a best erries berries. Get yourself a bouquet 729 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: of white chocolate berries. They are very happy today to 730 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 1: be hosting some ads from ze Washington State Hya Patrol. 731 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,720 Speaker 1: Not quite the organization I've handsome to be yet, but soon, 732 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 1: very soon. So one of the few things that separated 733 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,279 Speaker 1: Mangala from his fellow as sas men was that, so 734 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 1: in the SS, when you join, you have to have 735 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: your blood group tattooed on your arm. Right, Sorry, is 736 00:41:39,719 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 1: this American Reich? Look yeah, my whole face is purple. Yeah. Look, 737 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: I love Dan Carlin, but I'm fighting to stop myself 738 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: from doing a meme worth the two hands meeting in 739 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,800 Speaker 1: the middle, and it's like Hitler and Dan Carmen sixteen 740 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:22,439 Speaker 1: hour podcasts on World War One. Very different sixteen hour 741 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:27,359 Speaker 1: podcast let's be clear, extremely different, extremely different. You're not 742 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 1: at all coming from the same place, but no, no, 743 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:35,360 Speaker 1: but similar in length probably, Yeah. Yeah. So one of 744 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 1: the few things that's again, so in the SS, you 745 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,319 Speaker 1: got to get this blood group tattoo on your arm. 746 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: It's like it's actually after the war. One of the 747 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 1: things that makes it easy to tell who's been in 748 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,440 Speaker 1: the SS because a lot of them like put on 749 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 1: normal army uniforms to try to escape. Mangela does not 750 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,439 Speaker 1: get this tattoo. Um, and it's his ex wife. Would 751 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 1: leader say it's because he had a habit, his like 752 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 1: hobby was staring at his shirtless body in the mirror, 753 00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 1: Like after he gets healthy and starts to bulk up, 754 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: he just like looking at himself naked and he can't 755 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,280 Speaker 1: stand the thought of marring his skin with a tattoo. 756 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:08,320 Speaker 1: That is absolutely the most like just default Nazi setting 757 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 1: is just looking in the mirror and going on, I'm 758 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 1: so fucking strong. It's just you know, see Andrew Tate, Yeah, exactly, 759 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 1: very very taty. So joining Himmler's racial elite came with 760 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,319 Speaker 1: extra hoops to jump through if you wanted to do 761 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,920 Speaker 1: something like getting married. For one thing, his fiance Irene 762 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,319 Speaker 1: had to pass a series of tests to become the 763 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 1: wife of an SS man. Now I know what you're 764 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: all wondering, Could I be an SS wife? You know, ladies, 765 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: ladies at home, if you want to know, do you 766 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,799 Speaker 1: have what it takes to marry an SS man. That's 767 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 1: what we're talking about right now. So you show on 768 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 1: Bravo the Real Housewives of the Yeah oh boy, that 769 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,320 Speaker 1: is a fucking so. The first thing she hasked to 770 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,799 Speaker 1: do she had to get two recommendations from men who 771 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,879 Speaker 1: knew her, and both of those men had to fill 772 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 1: out questionnaires to prove that she had what it took 773 00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,799 Speaker 1: to be an SS wife. She was rated by them 774 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 1: as being very reliable, very fond of children, com radley, 775 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:08,840 Speaker 1: and not domineering and efficient. Irene also had to undergo 776 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: a body type analysis. I'm gonna yeah, boy OUTI here's 777 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 1: ears Marwell again. One section of the form called for 778 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,880 Speaker 1: an inventory of ten physical characteristics with a list of 779 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,640 Speaker 1: associated values in descending order of desirability. For instance, for 780 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 1: body type, the physician could choose muscular, athletic, plump, slim, 781 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 1: or puny, with the first clearly being the most positive. 782 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 1: For eye color, the following choices were available blue, gray, greenish, 783 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,360 Speaker 1: light brown, and dark brown. These physical attributes, thought to 784 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,120 Speaker 1: be expressions of the racial mixture that the person represented, 785 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 1: were observed and noted. In Irene's case, doctor Shorzweller awarded 786 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,840 Speaker 1: her nine out of ten of the attributes with the 787 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 1: highest value, and only one hair form as the second 788 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 1: highest sleek, which was one step stepped down from straight, 789 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,960 Speaker 1: but better than wavy, curly or crinkly. I love that. 790 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 1: It's like there's you're almost perfect. There's a little jew 791 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,759 Speaker 1: in your hair. Yeah, I'm gonna have to dark you 792 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 1: a little bit for the jew and that hairs. Yeah, 793 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,319 Speaker 1: but don't we have a straight iron cross that we 794 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,080 Speaker 1: will use to straighten that little jew out. Let's get 795 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,920 Speaker 1: the kinks out, so to speak. So the combination of 796 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,359 Speaker 1: these features led Swartzweller to conclude that Irene was primarily 797 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 1: of the Nordic race, with some Dinaric influences. She was 798 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,879 Speaker 1: found to be an excellent health and perhaps of key significance, 799 00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 1: likely to be able to bear children. Noting her wide pelvis, 800 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 1: you have white pelvis. You have a very nice feat. 801 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: They relate little Binaric. But you know that's that's a 802 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:49,520 Speaker 1: race for Nazis. No, don't worry about that, as we 803 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 1: know about that. Honestly, Irene, I have a searching for 804 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 1: a term, but then I pulled up my Nazi thesaurus, 805 00:45:55,800 --> 00:46:04,040 Speaker 1: and so of categorizations we've done here. Wow, we've want words. 806 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 1: So even with even all of this was not enough 807 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,839 Speaker 1: for the SS. Irene also needed to prove that she 808 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,400 Speaker 1: was racially pure, free of any Jewish influence for the 809 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 1: sake of SS paperwork. This meant providing information about her 810 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,920 Speaker 1: family line that dated back to the Peace piece of 811 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,520 Speaker 1: Westphalia in sixteen forty eight. This was the end of 812 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,239 Speaker 1: the Thirty Years War, which killed millions of German people 813 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,840 Speaker 1: and set in motion kind of want like one of 814 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,040 Speaker 1: the more direct things that set in motion the series 815 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 1: of events that leads to the creation of the German States. 816 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,840 Speaker 1: So that's why they pick it. The problem for Irene 817 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,560 Speaker 1: came with the fact that in eighteen eighty six, her 818 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 1: grandfather had been born out of wedlock and his father 819 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,879 Speaker 1: his father could not be verified. Now there was no 820 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,960 Speaker 1: evidence of direct taint, so Irene was approved to Mary Mangola, 821 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,920 Speaker 1: but because her ancestry could not be sufficiently confirmed, she 822 00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,920 Speaker 1: and Joseph were unable to add their names to the 823 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:04,840 Speaker 1: Sippin book. Dare ss Honestly, that's unfair. I know it's fucked. 824 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:10,239 Speaker 1: I gonna go out and say big yikes to that. Yeah, 825 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,480 Speaker 1: so a Sippin' book if you guys aren't, aren't like 826 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 1: me and Matt because we're big sippin book guys. Yeah, 827 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 1: it's a book, a genealogical clan book that lists your ancestry. 828 00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,239 Speaker 1: Every SS member was supposed to carry one, but there's 829 00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,440 Speaker 1: a grand Sippin' book for the entire organization that lists 830 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 1: all of the family lines. Because Himler was kind of 831 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:33,960 Speaker 1: planning on breeding a new nightly nobility more or less. Um. Yeah, 832 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,800 Speaker 1: So this is like the highest honor in the SS, 833 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,600 Speaker 1: and Mengola just doesn't quite meet the bar um, which 834 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:44,800 Speaker 1: is sad, sad, honestly, it's just it's one of the bigger, 835 00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:49,439 Speaker 1: bigger tragedies of the era. Oh for sure. Absolutely. So 836 00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 1: the good news is that Mangola had little time to 837 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,080 Speaker 1: dwell on this because the nineteen thirties were coming to 838 00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,400 Speaker 1: an end. In events in the whider world. We're about 839 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 1: to turn him from a simple, bigoted piece of shit 840 00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 1: into one of the greatest mass killers in medical history. 841 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 1: Yeah all right, so you're telling me this podcast is 842 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 1: gonna get worse. Oh yeah, Oh, it's about to get 843 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:14,279 Speaker 1: a lot worse. So July of Nining is people to die. 844 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,920 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I know, no more Jarjar. I just I 845 00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,839 Speaker 1: know that the jar jar is coming to an end. Sure, 846 00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:26,919 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get Wow, there's gotta be like us. 847 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it's probably pornographic, but there's gotta be jar 848 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:34,840 Speaker 1: jar ss like art out there, dev and art account 849 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, I don't know why people are man 850 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:41,360 Speaker 1: at me. Yeah. And it's both horny but also shows 851 00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,840 Speaker 1: like an unsettling degree of understanding of like minutia of 852 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,719 Speaker 1: SS daily life. They've got their little sipping books on 853 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:53,520 Speaker 1: jar Jar's got his blood group tattooed on a fucking bicep. 854 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,720 Speaker 1: So In July of nineteen thirty eight, Frankfurt University awards 855 00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,080 Speaker 1: mangle A a full medical degree. He was now a 856 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,120 Speaker 1: licensed MD as well as a PhD. He had a 857 00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,120 Speaker 1: promising career ahead of him in the field of being 858 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,160 Speaker 1: a racist with a lab coat, but his ambition would 859 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,720 Speaker 1: not let him simply continue to work as a research 860 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 1: scientist while his nation went to war. So he decided 861 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,840 Speaker 1: to join the Waffen or Weapons SS. Now this is 862 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 1: the because the SS is a bunch of things, right, 863 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,880 Speaker 1: But the Waffen SS is like the SS that also 864 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 1: fights alongside the Wehrmacht. Right there, they're a military organization. 865 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,960 Speaker 1: This would become one of the war crimest units of 866 00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,360 Speaker 1: the war crimest army ever to war crime, and Mengelo 867 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,160 Speaker 1: was dedicated to being a part of it. At the 868 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,319 Speaker 1: end of nineteen thirty eight, he did three months of 869 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,799 Speaker 1: basic training with the Wehrmacht to prepare himself for the 870 00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,480 Speaker 1: riggers ahead. He's spent about a year or so serving 871 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,920 Speaker 1: as basically a National guardsman. And while he's kind of 872 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,560 Speaker 1: doing this, he's continuing to work with Van Verschure on 873 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,880 Speaker 1: publishing studies about ear lobe differences between the races and 874 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,799 Speaker 1: the like. Just before the invasion of Poland, he wrote 875 00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,960 Speaker 1: a review for a book on detecting congenital heart defects. 876 00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:03,440 Speaker 1: In this review he lamented quote unfortunately the author did 877 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,400 Speaker 1: not use subjects where the diagnosis could be verified by 878 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,600 Speaker 1: an autopsy. He's been a lot of time talking about 879 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,640 Speaker 1: how unfortunate is there weren't enough corpses to study to 880 00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:15,680 Speaker 1: like fully prove this guy's claims about congenital heart defects 881 00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,680 Speaker 1: and alas, he was about to have all of the 882 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 1: autopsy subjects he could ever want, but that it's going 883 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:26,719 Speaker 1: to be.
