They were secretly building up an army right after WW 1 ended, under the guise of Youth Activities. In 1925, Mein Kampf was published. In 1924, Hitler tried to seize power in the "Beer Hall Putsch" http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/timeline/putsch2.htm Check here for the complete timeline: http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/timeline/ww2time.htm Hitler had been working on his plans for many years by the time this article was published, so no, I don't think it's a stretch at all to wonder if this is propaganda to cover it up experiments Hitler might have arranged to have done.

Since the magazines here tend be about technology and science it is not surprising that many of the ideas come from that nation which had a cultural history of scientific advancement. A few years after this picture was taken they applied their considerable technical skill to the extermination of whole classes of human beings. Two of Germany's philosophical offspring, Communism and Nazional Socialism were an attempt to apply scientific principals to the human condition. I think we can safely say, judging by the _monumental_ failure of both, that this idea does not work too well. No one said there was any connection between this medical experimant and the Holocaust other than the idea of sticking a creature in an oven. The look on the dog's face is pretty obvious (it is after all, one way they communicate with each other), it doesn't take any particular insight to recognize its fear. And I think, had the picture been captioned differently, referring to the device as something other than an oven (sauna/steam cabinet/heater) that this whole discussion would never have taken place.

How horribly ignorant for any of you to associate this image with the Holocaust simply because it's German. Please explain how this could relate to the use of gas chambers by the Nazis? In addition to the absolutely stupid comparisons made here, you're all talking about how terrified the dog looks. What animal wouldn't look terrified when it's going through a procedure or experience it doesn't understand? It's not like this is meant to HARM the animal, it's meant to help it.

Doesn't make it any easier to look at, though.

That dog DOES look terrified. I have to wonder if this is propaganda to cover up their experiments with gas chambers, prepatory to the Holocaust. Yes that’s horrible! That dog DOES look terrified.

As Blurgle pointed out, can you imagine how terrified these dogs must have been? And yep, I also thought of the Holocaust when I saw this. Honestly, I’m about to get sick looking at this.
