Archive/File: medical.007 Last-Modified: 1994/06/22 Letter from Blankenburg to Reichsfuehrer-SS Himmler, 29 April 1944 [ToWC, Vol. I, 723] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ By order of Reichsleiter Bouhler I submit to you as an enclosure a work of Dr. Horst Schumann on the influence of X-rays on human genital glands. Previously you have asked Oberfuehrer Brack to perform this work, and you supported it by providing the adequate material in the concentration camp Auschwitz. I point especially to the second part of this work, which shows that by those means castration of males is almost impossible or requires an effort which does not pay. As I have convinced myself, operative castration requires not more than 6 to 7 minutes, and therefore can be performed more reliably and quicker than castration by X-rays. Soon I will be able to submit a continuation of this work to you.
