Fun fact: The Nazi propaganda film The Eternal Jew used unflattering footage of impoverished Jews living in Polish slums to make the claim that Jews enjoy living in filth, unlike the clean and tidy Aryan master race.

That's another good example of how bad the nazis were at """science.""" Tampering with the experiment to get the results they wanted.

It wasn't really nazis being bad at science, it was purposeful. Nazis did know that people who get lice and typhus epidemic wouldn't have those if they weren't living in absolute poverty. They even did same later in war when they make things even worse by locking Jews in ghettos without food and water and on 10% of needed living space, then they published posters in Polish to incite Poles agains Jews (also note the person who made that poster was definitively native Polish speaker)
