After WWII, seven Nazi doctors were executed for experimenting on prisoners. Yet the Allies recruited both German and Japanese doctors to continue their work under new masters.Home-grown physicians, too, tested narcotics, bacteria, radiation, nerve gas, electric shock treatments, truth drugs and pain inducers on unsuspecting prisoners - even their own soldiers. Often they filmed the results.Filmmaker Dirk Pohlmann's team have found witnesses, records and rare archive footage on both sides of the Iron Curtain, that record and expose this secret, cruel Cold War arms race.
