The Nazi sulfanilamide experiments were nonconsual experiments on humans conducted between July 1942- September 1943. The intention was to give information, to the German armed forces, on the efficacy of treatment, with sulfanilamide and other drugs, for infected wounds inflicted on non-consenting prisoners at Ravensbruck Concentration Camp

Charges against Becker-Freyseng, Blomer, and Schroeder were withdrawn. No judgment was reached concerning Rudolf Brandt. Genzken, Poppendick, and Rostock were acquitted; Karl Brandt, Fischer, Gebhardt, Handloser, Mrugowsky]], and Herta Oberheuser were convicted.
