Nazi typhus and other vaccine experiments

The Nazi typhus and other vaccine experiments were conducted for the benefit of the German armed forces to test the effectiveness of vaccines against typhus, smallpox, cholera, and other diseases. They were performed at Buchenwald and Natzweiler Concentration Camps, between December 1941 and February 1945. They are distinct from the Nazi infectious jaundice experiments.
