Secret Nazi Science

What secrets did the Nazis hope to find in human cells and DNA? From Mengele’s horrendous twin experiments to attempts to change people’s eye color, the Nazis try to discern nature from nurture.

WWII was a war in the skies. Though the Treaty of Versailles had prevented the Germans from developing new weapons, they sponsored air clubs and pushed for supremacy in the air.

What would it take to bomb the Allies into the ground? This was the question on the minds of top Nazi brass as they mobilized Germany’s top scientists to create frightening new bombs.

To counter the weather station set up by Allies, the Nazis erected weather stations in remote and desolate areas like Jan Mayen Island, Greenland, and Spitsbergen.

The triumphal architecture of the Nazi regime hints at a deeply dystopian future. What might a Nazi city, and the world, have looked like had Hitler succeeded in vanquishing his enemies?

Adolf Hitler was famously against using chemical and biological weapons - but chemistry and biological science still played an incredible role in the Nazi’s unquenchable quest for power.

How could a Nazi soldier and its leadership be optimized? From mundane questions of survival to creating a better soldier, the Nazis used science to study human constitution and its limits.

The Nazis went to great lengths to warp the natural world to their whims. They used violence and botanical selection so nature would mirror the Aryan ideal.
