When you mentioned Mengele and “separated” in the same sentence I had to go back and make sure you weren’t talking about conjoined twins… also hopefully he’s still burning. Time to flip him Satan!

Yes he's one of few people that hell would almost be worth it just to know he was there... it galls me that he managed to escape justice

It is said that the sick fuck actually tried to make conjoined twins out of a pair of ordinary Roma twins.

I think that was the horrible story that I had recalled. There’s only one thing to do with evil like that.

I can't believe the Nazis did that horrendous stuff and there are still people flying their flags. Absolute filth.

Who learns both the cello and the accordion, that's not the most obvious pairing but then again I suppose every other accordionist I can think of also plays the guitar and being Romanian, a cello was probably more relevant.

The Nazis were all wicked witches.

He kept the dwarves around because he thought they were neat.

I wonder if dwarfs need less calories to survive? Dark curiosity on my part, I admit.

Well, trying to be objective and ignoring the topic for this thread, the answer would be yes, but probably not in a significant way. There's a lot more in play than just the size of the person.

People who go to frozen lands, like artic, have to eat a lot, lot more calories to compensate the heat loss. And obviously someone who sits playing video games all day tend to gain weight because they don't burn the calories, even if they don't eat as much as the artic explorer.

Now, assuming two persons with different sizes, similar lifestyle, living in the same weather and with similar health, and considering exclusively the necessary caloric intake to not die, in that case, yeah, the person with a smaller body would need less calories to surive. Not like it would be ethical to test it though.

You could go to r/askscience to start a thread to have a more complete answer, as I'm just some random stranger trying to wild guess.

I was more wondering if it helped them survive where a taller person might have died rather than thinking of it as a thought experiment or something to test.

Did it help them? Did it save them? That kind of thing.

Probably not the best place to be asking those types of questions out loud.

that came out far before ww2, but snow white was one of hitler's favorite movies.

Ah, thank you for this! Still, its seems convenient there were 7 of them...

The Nazis were obsessed with snow white and Hitler said it was one of his favorite movies. Snow white came out in 1937 so like having seven dwarves was probably something everyone joked about the way we used too with anchorman.

Snow White was also one of the most popular German fairytales for centuries before that.
