Who was Josef Mengele before the Nazis
On March 16, 1911, Josef Mengele was born in Günzburg, Germany, a Bavarian city. He was the firstborn child of wealthy agricultural equipment manufacturer Karl Mengele. After attending many institutions to study medicine and physical anthropology, he graduated with a Ph.D. in physical anthropology from the University of Munich in 1935.
He started working at an institute of hereditary biology in 1937. In collaboration with Professor Dr. Otmar von Verschuer, he developed an interest in twin genetics.
At first, he wasn’t a “fan” of the Nazi Party
This may come as a surprise to those who don’t know many things about Josef Mengele. If he was one of the most trustworthy and reliable people for Hitler, then how is it possible that he didn’t actively support the Nazi Party before they had supreme power?
He enlisted in the German National People’s Party’s Stahlhelm paramilitary group in 1931, which belonged to another right-wing party. When the Nazi SA annexed the Stahlhelm in 1933, Josef Mengele joined it; nevertheless, he stopped being actively involved in it in 1934.
He finally joined the SS and the Nazi Party later in 1938, and his primary intention was to further the Nazis’ belief that the German pure race was better.
