Although few Holocaust historians deny it, it is a little-known fact that the Allies tortured German officers to yield confessions for the Nuremburg Trials. There are reports of interrogators placing hoods over the victims' heads and beating them half to death with brass knuckles, or kicking their crotches with such force that it crushes their testicles.

I like how this pasta explores this dark topic. Unfortunately, the author doesn't capitalize on the subject's true potential. The warden clearly has some kind of vendetta against the Einsatzgruppen, but instead uses methods of execution carried out in the so-called death camps (Auschwitz, Treblinka). The Einsatzgruppen are said to be mobile killing squads. So why would the warden have them killed in complex, convoluted ways if the Einsatzgruppen just shot their targets and moved on to the next objective?

Another issue are the glaring similarities to the Russian Sleep Experiment: round up a bunch of people and subject them to inhumane torture for some kind of experiment. The only difference here is that while The Russian Sleep Experiment was conducted in the name of science, this seems to be a case of revenge.

All in all, I'd go with WatcherAzazel's idea. Discard the revenge theme and shroud the purpose of the experiment in mystery. The plot should at least be believable, so I suggest making the experiments less like an extermination camp and more like a method of extracting information.
