The therapy did appear to be
reasonably safe: nearly all of the relatively small number of adverse events that occurred during the course of the trial were mild; the six moderate - severity adverse events and the one severe event (a case of neutropenia) were judged to be unrelated to the
treatment.
While surrendering troops in the west could
reasonably expect
safe treatment, prisoners on the Ostfront were regularly executed, and those not killed outright were deported to gulags and konzentrationslager for years of abuse.
