The bone grafting experiments were an attempt by Nazi doctors to see if it was possible to speed along the body's regeneration process. The means by which they tried to accomplish this were absolutely savage, and would often result in the death of both the donor and receiving victim. Sections of a healthy patient's bone would be removed from their shoulders, arms or hips, then transferred to a mutilated victim. Occasionally, entire limbs would be harvested from victims, before being killed by Evipan injection. Muscles and nerves were also of interest to doctors, resulting in deep grafts that would heavily mutilate the victim. "A blanket was put over my eyes, and I did not know what was done with my leg but I felt a great pain and I had the impression that something must have been cut out of my leg," reads one account from survivor Vladislava Karolewska. "Two weeks later we were all taken to the operating theatre again, and put on the operating tables. The bandage was removed, and that was the first time I saw my leg. The incision went so deep that I could see the bone."
