In Berlin, Heinrich Himmler presides over a secret meeting along with his personal doctor, Karl Gebhardt, and the SS general, Richard Glueks, General Inspector of concentration camps, and the leading German gynaecologist, Karl Clauberg. With Hitler's consent, they agree to carry out medical experiments on the prisoners of the Auschwitz and Ravensbruck camps. The offensive in the south of the Eastern Front continues to unfold. Army Group B, with a smaller number of forces, moves forward towards Stalingrad. Army Group A does so in the direction of Voroshilovgrad to later reach Rostov. In the United States, the government demands the immediate closure of Finnish consulates.
