Near Strasbourg is a concentration camp named Struthof-Nazweiler, where operated one of the most well-known Nazi-Criminals, who was worked for "Ahnenerbe". That man was anthropologist Dr. August Hirt (1898-1945), the man who was known as "Nazi-Bluebeard" because this man was known that he collected human heads. This man has stored that extremely disgusting collection in the cellar of "Kaiser Wilhelm Institute". Some of those victims transferred from the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp to Struthof-Nazweiler for lethal injection, what was given by August Hirt. There have been many stories and programs about the "Ahnenerbe" and its connections to mass murders, what Nazis made. But one thing has been forgotten in this case where 86 prisoners of Auschwitz-Birkenau send to Nazweiller for killing injection.


Why Dr. Hirt choose those inmates for that operation? The transfer of those prisoners thru Europe was dangerous, because if some of them would escape, would that cause the security leak what could uncover the torture and other horrors what happened behind those high voltage wires. The reason why Hirt chose those prisoners was claimed that they were "centurions", what meant highly respected prisoners and that's why Hirt was chosen for that mission to find the reason for that respected behavior for those prisoners. That meant persons who got the food from other prisoners and who were serviced even that way, that another prisoner went to the gas chamber for them. And the Gestapo wanted to get the reason, why those prisoners had so high position in the hierarchy?


There is another ask about those transfers: why those persons were not killed in Auschwitz-Birkenau and the corpses send to Natzweiler? There were many persons in Auschwitz-Birkenau who could give the lethal injection to those prisoners, who became the victims of Dr. August Hirt at Nazweiler. There is also the very interesting question about that case. What was the problem with chemicals for that lethal injection? Why Hirt desired to use special chemicals, and what those chemicals were?


The normal killing injection was phenol or strychnine, but why Hirt choose some other chemicals for those murders?  After murdering those victims by lethal injection, Hirt made autopsy for them and then took their head the tattoos for investigations, and send those samples to Kaiser-Wilhelm institute. There was, of course, the bad jokes about "magical tattoos", but when we are thinking that term very careful, we might understand that those magical tattoos may be the mark for some other person for making some things, like given injection to that tattooed person.


What those injectors would inject that inmate was interested in those anthropologists like Dr. August Hirt, whose actions, in this case, were totally against humanity. In 1945 Hirt committed suicide before he would be arrested for war crimes. And in this case some people believe that Hirt was murdered because he knew too much about mass murders and the methodology, what was used in the selection of imprisoned and executed people. And also how to choose the methods, what kind of killing method was chosen for victims of the Holocaust.
