He did experiments on 1500 sets of twins. Some of the experiments he did were; Freezing or Hypothermia, sun lamp, hot bath, internal irrigation, and gentic experiments. For freezing/ hypothermia they were placed in to icy cold water or were put on stretchers out side naked to see what the germans were dealing with on the Eastern front, most of the patients died when their body tempurature reached 25 degrees celsius. For the sun lamp exteriments they would put the patients that had be frozen under very hot lamps intil they started to pour sweat, the lamps often burned the skin of the patients. For the hot baths Mengele would put the patients in warm water after they were frozen and slowly warm up their body tempurate, sometimes if the water was too hot the patient would die from shock. With the internal irrigation experiments they would get almost blistering hot water and forcefully put it through the the frozen patients organs. the genetic experiments consisted of injecting dye into the patients eyes in attempt to change their eye color, injections of leathal germs, sex change experiments, the removal of organs and limbs, and incestuous impregnations.
