15. _Dr. Claus Karl Schilling._ Dr. Schilling, at the call of Himmler,
began conducting his malaria experiments at Dachau in February 1942. He
continued these experiments until liberation of the camp. It was
undisputed that the inmates whom Dr. Schilling used in his work were not
volunteers. Dr. Schilling’s research was performed for the purpose of
determining immunization for and treatment of malaria. His requests for
inmates were made about every month. These lists were prepared in the
camp physician’s office and then sent to the camp commander and labor
office. About 1,200 selectees were thus chosen for subjection. Many of
them were priests. The number of people who died from the malaria or
from the drugs such as pyramidon or neosalvarsan is not known. Certainly
some died. It is reasonable to infer that the deaths of many of the
inmates from tuberculosis, dysentery, typhus, and other diseases were
caused in part by the fact that those people had been subjected to
malaria. Although Dr. Schilling’s motive may have been simply and purely
a scientific one, his activities exemplified the Nazi scheme which
existed at Dachau. The part he played in that scheme is clear.
