Nazi politicians produce nazi policies. Nazi scientists produce scientific research.

because science is historically apolitical and "research" produced by nazis/racists/etc is definitely known for being very objective......

Most Nazi science was ridiculous anyways. What beneficial knowledge is there in torturing twins and seeing which one dies faster?

is there any evidence that mengele's "experiments" were genuine science? like, what hypothesis was he testing? what sort of knowledge did he hope to produce? it really does just sound like a sadist indulging in the most evil fantasies he could think of.

This is physically painful to write for me, but a lot of theories about the measureable threshold for death, the raw data on how long it takes tissue to no longer be recoverable after exposure to certain pathogens, exsanguination, timetables for tissue to freeze, time for frozen tissue to die, physiological limits of anoxia etc were "fleshed out" as it were by unit 731 and Mengele & friends. Most of the scientists and physicians of Unit 731 were given the option of either working for the DoD at Ft Detrick (history, farce etc) or facing Chinese justice.

tldr The American government officially said everything was destroyed but as is longstanding tradition with war criminals we gave everyone jobs,

So Ft Detrick is just the Mount Doom of pathogens, huh?

I think that user was defending the USSR's recruiting of nazi scientists, compared to America also giving nazis political power. The comment above them brought up the USSR's program

tbh, yeah, I would mostly trust the USSR to handle nazis scientists and not let them do nazi shit, because the USSR was ideologically committed to opposing naziism.
