Walter Sonntag
Walter Sonntag (born 13 May 1907 in Metz, died 17. September 1948 in Hameln) was a Nazi doctor who performed experiments on concentration camp victims. He extracted their healthy teeth without the use of anaesthetic and his preferred method of killing was by injecting petrol and phenol directly into their veins. He experimented with the prostitutes interned in Ravensbrück concentration camp, using them as his “lab rats” in search for a cure for gonorrhoea and syphilis.[1][2][3][4][5]
