Fritz Haber was born in 1868. He studied at many universities and moved job to job, also earning his doctorate in organic chemistry in 1891. He is known for his greatest accomplishment, getting nitrogen from thin air. He took atmospheric nitrogen and made it into plant fertilizer called ammonia. Without this fertilizer that was made in the early 1900s, earth now would not be able to tolerate the 7 billion population we have today, at most, 6 billion. He also made something even bigger, chlorine gas. He made chlorine gas during WWI to kill soldiers. This is the reason why Fritz Haber is evil. During World War I, Fritz was able to make a poisonous gas called chlorine gas. The effect of this gas was tremendous, you would inhale its vapors and
Heinrich himmler , the architect of the holocaust and considered to be the biggest mass murderer ever , by some ( although it's really Josef Stalin ) . The holocaust would not have happened if it wasn't for this man. He tried to breed a master race of Nordic appearance , the aryan race . His plans for racial purity were needed by hitlers vanity in making rash military decisions rather than letting generals make them, thus ending the war prematurely. Himmler was captured after after the war . He unsuccessfully tried to negotiate with the west , and the west, and was genuinely ns hocked to be treated as a criminal upon capture . He committed suicide by swallowing a cyanide capsule he had bit upon.
Fritz Haber was a contested recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing a process using atmospheric nitrogen for ammonia synthesis, primarily due to his wartime efforts on behalf of Germany. The Haber Process was used by the Germans to make explosives during World War I after access to nitrates were cut off by Allied blockades (The Nobel Foundation, 2014). Additionally, Haber developed chemical weapons used against Allied forces. Later controversy was surely stirred by the fact that Haber developed the poisonous gas, Zyklon B, used at Auschwitz. In an ironic twist of fate, Haber was Jewish by birth (Manchester, 2002).
When one thinks of the most evil and powerful person through history, one often thinks of Adolf Hitler. However, most of the feats accomplished by Hitler would have been impossible without the help of his lesser known right-hand man, Heinrich Himmler. Deemed “the second most powerful man in Germany during World War II” (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum), he helped Hitler carry out his brutal genocide of the Jewish religion. Heinrich Himmler played an extremely important role in the Holocaust.
After eight hours of working with the chlorine in unventilated areas, kenny went home and fell ill. He was rushed to the hospital and placed in an oxygen tent. His lungs had been burned by the chemicals. His body was covered with blisters. (Schlosser, 188).
There are many examples why gas was a necessary weapon in World War I. One example is using clouds of toxic gas on the enemy. Since this gas is so dangerous and unstoppable they would release the clouds of gas on the enemy to scare them away from their area or to kill off the remaining enemies. This toxic gas was also refereed to as Tear Gas. Because Tear Gas was so affective, eventually both sides would use it on the enemy in wars because there was no way of avoiding it unless you leave the area. Another example is the incurable things the gas does. Tear Gas could give you first-degree burns to having your eyes and face being rotted away. The things the gas could do to you was endless. It could burn out your lungs to the point not even the
In means of protecting the Germans against phosgene poisoning, some scientists examined the effect it had on subjects’ lungs. Prisoners were also subjected to mustard gas to test possible antidotes for the poisoning. They found that besides local irritation to the skin, eyes, and upper respiratory tract, the lungs were the target organ of the phosgene gas. Even at low concentrations phosgene would destroy the enzymes in the lungs, causing fluid to build up and lead to death by drowning. The knowledge of this dangerous gas has led to the saving of lives of those who lived near the manufacturing plant.
Just after the sun rose on July 7, 2008, Hans Reiser led police and prosecutors to Nina's shallow grave. Reiser was about to be convicted of strangling his estranged wife to death when he agreed to plead guilty to second-degree murder and reveal where he dumped Nina's body. In exchange, he would dodge the death penalty. Reiser was a moderately wealthy Internet entrepreneur who started college at age 15. Why wasn't he smart enough to just divorce his wife? (Zak 2011)
This gas may cause temporary blindness and inflammation of the nose and throat of the victim. A gas mask would easily offer good protection against this gas. This chemical and any chemical with bromide were quite popular during World War I since it was easily brewed.
Chloroform was accidentally discovered by Dr James Simpson and two other colleagues when the scientists created it and mistakenly inhaled it. The drug left them lying
Some of the experiments they used them for included treatments for hypothermia, maximum height that crews from damaged aircraft could parachute to safety, making seawater safe to drink, treatments for contagious diseases, test drug efficacy, sterilization, and Josef Mengele’s experiments on twins (Medical). Although many other SS physicians conducted experiments in the camps, Mengele’s are the most famous. Before he came to the camps, he performed numerous experiments on twins. When he arrived at the camps he was told it was okay to kill them, so he took that opportunity to perform long, painful and dangerous experiments

The world today is better because of Fritz Haber. Haber was responsible for finding a way to separate nitrogen and bond it with hydrogen in order to create ammonia. Ammonia was then used to create synthetic fertilizer to help the Germany grow more crops. Haber was also the inventor of Zyklon A which is used as a pesticide, allowing many more crops to be saved from things like bugs that could have wiped out entire harvests. On the other side, Haber’s invention of Zyklon A was taken by the Nazis in World War II and changed to Zyklon B to be used in the gas chamber of concentration camps; however, the estimated eleven million people that were killed in the holocaust due to this new
