Topic: Josef Mengele

Post-war research transitioned into "human factor studies" using data seized from Nazi doctor Josef Mengele's experiments on twins and psychic energy.

These studies are identified as the precursors to modern alien abduction reports and the foundation for the Montauk Project.

Thorne briefly addresses the experiments of Dr. Josef Mengele, acknowledging barbaric practices occurred but maintaining that genocide was not the primary motive of the camps.
