He fought in WWII before being called "unfit for battle", so they decided to use him as a medic. He was most interested in twins and their eyes and finger prints, and why they where different, but they looked exactly the same. He took care of many twins as if they where his own kids. He treated them different and he told them to call him "uncle Mengele"He tried to put eyeballs on the backs of peoples heads, so they where more fit for war.

Adam's Thoughts

My thoughts on Mr. Josef Menegele are mostly to the bad side. Although he did have scientific breakthroughs on his experiments, he is still a cereal killer. I chose him because one night i was watching the history channel about the twins in South America, and thought he has history behind him and he would make a good world history project. He killed many people that shouldn't have died. Although he killed many people, he is a huge part of our history, and we all should take our time and know it. I hope other people would liked learning about him as much as i did. I learned a mouth full of information on him. Also i learned how the computer works. :)
