Not systematically. The primary target of German sterilization policy as mandated by the "racial hygiene" laws were mental patients (by and large German) of both sexes. It is estimated that between 300,000 and 400,000 mental patients (both men and women) were sterilized between 1934 and 1945.
Sterilization of Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, and people of mixed African and German parentage was not mandated by law, but was sometimes carried out on a limited scale as a local initiative. Dr. Horst Schumann, for example, conducted numerous chemical sterilization experiments on Jewish and Gypsy women imprisoned in Auschwitz and Birkenbau. About 500 Afro-German teenagers (the offspring of French colonial troops stationed in the Rhineland in the early 1920s) were sterilized by secret order in mid-1930s.

yes, may cloak and dagger experiments took place deep within the confines of the Nazi laboratories and well from the eyes of the public observers. The German Scientists were supposedly testing ideas in which to advance their war tactics, and giving them the upper hand in the war, but it only turned into tortured mutilation of their prisoner test subjects that ultimately lead nowhere scientifically. Many of the scientists underwent experiments on their subject such as hypothermia (they would freeze their subjects until they were either dead or severly frost bitten), they burned victims, they sterilezed victims, they performed open sergeries without sedating the subject, and countless others. if you are still interested check out "Joseph Mangola" who was a head Nazi scientist who escaped his crimes and is still free to this day. or even chech out "THE NAZI WAR MACHINE."
