The land of the twins
From one Nazi to another, these theories don’t seem to stop. Josef Menglele was a German physician, who was assigned the task by Fuhrer to increase the birthrate of Aryan by genetically Studying how twins took birth. Hundreds of unnamed twins were brought from all over Europe into Menglele’s camp for him to study. Some say that he was successful in doing so, just not in Germany but in a small town of Brazil, where he continued to visit when war was nearing it’s end. This is the same town where, later, one out of five births resulted in twins. While historians are largely in disbelief that Menglele succeeded, a number of geneticists believe that Menglele had fair chances of succeeding.
