Joseph Mengele - the escaped Nazi war criminal and SS physician, known as the Angel of Death, spent years doing bizarre medical experiments on twins at Auschwitz working to determine if twins held the key to building a blond-haired, blue-eyed master race for Adolf Hitler. Now a historian says he has evidence that Mengeles attempts may not have ended at Auschwitz that his obsession to engineer an Aryan master race continued...and succeeded while he was on the run in South America. Deep in the Brazilian outbackin a tiny town among the 80 households in a 1 square mile area are reportedly some 38 pairs of twins. Blond, blue-eyed twins. Bizarre, seemingly inexplicable could they be the product of Mengeles machinations? Now, with exclusive access, EXPLORER goes inside the investigation - From the secret agents who trailed him, to the scientists now uncovering the facts behind the fantastical phenomenon, no stone is left unturned. Did Mengele unlock the Secret of the Twins? (Edit:Ruby) |
