... that Buchenwald prisoner Dr. Marian Ciepielowski produced fake typhus vaccine for Nazi soldiers, while saving the real vaccine for his fellow prisoners? Source: "The sabotage consisted in the fact that instead of the vaccine we were supposed to produce... we produced 600 litres of water slightly stained with blood and seasoned with formalin for the SS combat units, while 7 litres of the real vaccine of our own production, which turned out to be better than Weigel’s, was used to vaccinate ourselves and other Buchenwald prisoners."

Very intriguing hook for pandemic times. No QPQ is needed for you as this is your first nomination. Long enouhh, neutral article with no citation issues. Created 2 days ago. Hook is within 200 characters. Sounds good to go! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trillfendi (talk • contribs) 20:25, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
