25. This Doctor Worked on Deadly Human Experiments That Killed Thousands
Dr. Schieber was also the Armaments Ministry’s official liaison with IG Farben – the German chemical conglomerate that produced the poisonous toxins used in the Holocaust’s gas chambers. While working closely with IG Farben’s chief chemist, Otto Ambrose, Schieber oversaw the chemical giant’s production of deadly gasses such as tabun and sarin. During the course of his work with IG Farben, Schieber was linked to thousands of deaths from numerous chemical experiments on live subjects, upon whom the deadly chemicals were tested.
After the war, Schieber became friends with a US Army brigadier general in the Chemical Corps named Charles Loucks. At the time, Loucks was stationed in Heidelburg, where he worked on nerve agents such as sarin gas and tabun. Because Schieber had intimate knowledge of the gasses used by the Nazis during the war, the two hit it off. However, Loucks’ friendship with Schieber and other Nazi officials was fishy. So fishy that the American general was recalled to the Pentagon, where he was reprimanded for getting too chummy with evil Nazis.
