There wasn't much they wouldn't try. Sad to say. The truly horrible part is they learned allot about the human body that could have never been found out otherwise.
Also, this was not just the Germans. The Japanese were worse to their prisoners, in many ways, than the Germans.
So, the ethical debate over using that information still rages today. I have never been able to settle that one for myself.
On one hand, if you use the information to help people then those people didn't die in vain.
On the other hand, if you do use it, then you encourage others to commit the same atrocities. This is the one I lean towards.
Glad I am not a medical ethicist or philosopher.
If you want to see the cold brutality of the German leadership, watch the movie "Conspiracy" with Kenneth Branaugh.
It is based a on the Wannsee Conference that took place to decided how to exterminate the Jews and do it under the German rule of law.
The Nazi hierarchy, at the behest of the Fuhrer, wanted to make sure when the rest of the world cried out that they could support their position legally. The cold brutality of it is bone chilling.
It is said about this conference that "One of the greatest crimes against humanity was perpetrated in just over an hour."
The fact they were discussing the extermination wasn't the really scary part, it was the emotional detachment in which they did it.

Mengele skinned the ones with tattoos and his wife used the tattoos to make lampshades. They drowned them, they electrocuted them, they starved them, they tried different methods of slow death. They tried poison, they tried dehydration. They cut babies out of the pregnant women to see how long they could survive. They raped 10 year old girls to death to see how much they could take. They pulled gold teeth without Novocaine, They infected people with typhus, syphilis, dengue fever. The lobotomized. They did every despicable thing they could and then they claimed they did not know what they were doing.

They froze men to near death.
Placed nude young girls next to them. The body warmth usually revived them. Most often the girl was raped.
They cut open live pregnant women just to see the fetus. Both died.
Two of the worst that I remember from the 40s.
