“…Serial X-ray examinations are already documented for Mittelbau-Dora ( 61 ) and described for other concentration camps such as Buchenwald ( 62 ), Dachau ( 63 ), and Sachsenhausen ( 64 ). The research on Mittelbau-Dora has already dealt with the construction of an alternative camp for inmates labeled “unfit for work” ( 65 ).…”

The everyday life of patients with tuberculosis in the main prisoner infirmary of the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp is analyzed historically-critically by medical records, documents of the Schutzstaffel (SS) physicians, contemporary medical textbooks and memoirs of former inmates from partly international archives. To compare the medical treatment in the three phases of the concentration camp, the representative months of February 1944, July 1944 and January 1945 were examined. The analysis shows that SS hygienists inspected the place for fear of a collapse of the V-2 rocket production. The primitive medical infrastructure was slowly expanded after its founding in 1943. SS physicians and medics led and supervised the treatment provided by inmates. These were in an ethical dilemma between cooperation with the SS and commitment to the sick prisoners. The Tuberculosis Department was used for isolation. Sputum diagnostics and X-ray equipment were utilized as selection tools. Infectious patients laid usually for weeks in the same bed with two other patients. Significantly more resources were available, however, for non-infectious tuberculosis patients. The therapy was based on the medical expert opinion of the time and was mainly symptomatic such as fever reduction. Rest and vitamins should make prisoners fit for the armament industry. Patients with tuberculosis had a high death rate. The prisoners who survived were discharged, but often did not recover. Several thousand prisoners were selected for transports, which led to special concentration camps for seriously ill prisoners (Lublin-Majdanek, Bergen-Belsen) and the subcamp Boelcke-Kaserne. There, they often died of catastrophic conditions or were killed.

Despite the political elite's best efforts to verbally separate themselves from it, continuity was built between the destroyed Third Reich and the newly formed West Germany in all areas. This continuity could be seen in the widespread denial of guilt, the elites' and Volk's resistance to denazification, the adoption of anti-Semitic stances as if nothing had happened, the release of war criminals, the request to the Allies for the return of national power as recompense for open anti-Sovietism, and the integration of the Nazi elite and civil servants into the new German state (80% of the senior posts were held by former Nazis), waves of amnesty for followers and perpetrators and the exaltation of criminals as "brave German nationalists". All of this was carried out with the full assistance of the West with the aim of de-actualizing the Nazi past of Germany and strengthening the national identity of the new military and political ally of West Germany.
