BALACHOWSKY: [_Continuing_] Then I will speak of other details which may
interest you. They are experiments of a psychotherapeutic nature,
utilization of chemical products to cure typhus, in Block 46, under the

professors who supplied the drugs, knowing that they would be used in
Block 46 for experimental purposes, was Professor Lautenschläger of
Frankfurt. So much for the question of typhus.

prisoners of Russian origin. Phosphorus burns were inflicted in Block 46
on Russian prisoners for the following reason. Certain bombs dropped in

soldiers which were difficult to heal. Consequently, the Germans tried
to find a whole series of drugs which would hasten the healing of the
wounds caused by these burns. Thus, experiments were carried out in
Block 46 on Russian prisoners who were artificially burned with
phosphorus products and then treated with different drugs supplied by
the German chemical industry.
