I mean.... Not that example that you used, but kinda yeah.

Nobody is saying it was good, it was horribly brutally fucked up. But salvaging any kind of good after the fact is still good imo

I'm pretty sure very little if not nothing was taking from the data because they didn't want to ethically condone using it. The data and "experiments" were also incredibly sloppy that no one could realistically use it even if they wanted to. They were experiments in name only and was just torture.

That's not true. They also strapped people to boards at various distances from a bomb and attempted various experimental emergency treatments. This helped them develop new treatments.
There was a point to it, and that's a big reason project paperclip wanted the data.
The soldiers stabbing and raping was a different type of crime against humanity.
I doubt any good came out of the ceramic flea bombs though.

What new treatment did they develop? Or did you just read some reddit comments and decide you knew about one of the most complicated situations in history?
