They didn't care about the Jews and wanted them all dead. Many were already dying in the concentration camps. German doctors and scientists decided to find out how the human body worked by dissecting Jews and performing other experiments on them.

It was actually torture...but the 'doctors' in the camp liked to call it "experiments". I have heard of a Doctor Who liked to do surgery on kids, apply chemicals on them, treated them like gineau pigs....even joined the bodies of 2 kids (twins) ...who afterwards when sent back to their parents in the camp....their mother had to kill them because they were suffering from intense pain...and bleeding...and killing them was the only option to reduce the torture....and there is much more i dont know about....Holocaust is one of the worst things that had ever happened in world history.....

It was yet another excuse to torture the prisoners. They called these "medical experiments" but were a simple excuse to torture and kill. To answer this question, the role that the "medical" experiments played were to "strengthen" the knowledge of the Third Reich (as the Nazis declared when questioned) Few of these findings were ever used in actual medical research to date.

Deliberate torture to death, a sickening form of capital punishment performed by Medical Officers. Experiments possibly useful to the War effort- for example dunking POWS in controlled temperature baths to test life-support equipment, and this was under some crude controls,. one batch of subjectw gets an insulated life jacket, the other doesn"t see how long it take for them to drown or die of cold exposure- the Luftwaffe tried similar stuff with decompression chambers, where special high and low temperatures and pressures were induced in the Life-support system, and naturally photos were taken of Prisoner"s death struggles. It probably did not occur to the Germans that the necessary documentation of these experiments for scientific purpose added to a monstrous evidence pile after the war was over !

Nazi medical experiments were crude and really torturing. Many people died of their medical (!) experiments.
