===Sulfonamide experiments===
From about July 1942 to about September 1943, experiments to investigate the effectiveness of [[sulfonamide (medicine)|sulfonamide]], a synthetic antimicrobial agent, were conducted at Ravensbrück.<ref>http://www.thenewatlantis.com/archive/5/schaefer.htm</ref> Wounds inflicted on the subjects were infected with [[bacterium|bacteria]] such as [[streptococcus]], [[gas gangrene]], and [[tetanus]]. <ref>http://books.google.com/books?id=_VH-7oeT4lEC&pg=PA4&lpg=PA4&dq=sulfonamide+nazi+tetanus&source=web&ots=7OMyTBC1eF&sig=A_3K9WRxdMyS4j7qWAaXpK0m7GE</ref> Circulation of blood was interrupted by tying off blood vessels at both ends of the wound to create a condition similar to that of a battlefield wound. Infection was aggravated by forcing wood shavings and ground glass into the wounds. The infection was treated with sulfonamide and other drugs to determine their effectiveness.
