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.

  1. Thank you for posting this. Although it’s disgusting, it’s necessary to educate people (especially nay-sayers). We must remember to prevent anything like this from happening again. The pictures add value as well.

  2. His premise of research was BS! He was a Demented Sadistic Demon and the fact that he got to live out his life is a Huge Travesty! He should have been executed by slowly draining his blood out by thousands of minute cuts all over his body! He deserved acute pian over an extended time!

  3. The evil that overshadowed Hitler, that changed him as a teenager in Austria, became a contagion in Germany that affected countless numbers. Unbelievers like Albert speer upon hearing a speech instantly gravitated to the furer.I notice today that same anointing surrounds trump,who was fixatedwith mein kampf.very dangerous

  4. Savagery knows no bounds when humans set out to survive. The obsessive nature of this German doctor led him to value what he could learn about genetics above all else. I think when one becomes obsessed by an “idea” all other behavior recedes; decency, caring, empathy, all vanish w/ obsession. Survival of the fittest author explained all of this to us….and in thousands of years, we’ve covered ourselves in “civilized behavior”….until we stop ….when survival shows up asking us to check in w/ our savage selves. Letting us know ‘survival” is more important than all else.
