Dohmen, A. (1941), "Anleitung zu physikalischen Untersuchungen an Hirn und Schädel bei der Leiche", Zeitschrift für die gesamte Neurologie und Psychiatrie 172: 667-686, DOI:10.1007/BF02868006 [e]

This is a brief review of simple methods to determine morphological parameters of brain and skull in corpses in a standardised fashion. Arnold Dohmen (not identical with the author of this paper) was later involved in hepatitis experiments with Jewish children in the Nazi concentration camp at Sachsenhausen. A personal account of these experiments is given (in German) by Saül Oren-Hornfeld, one of Dohmen's subjects, in Geschichte der Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft im Nationalsozialismus (pp. 94-101) and (in French) in Oren-Hornfeld's autobiography, Comme un feu brûlant.
