This is an old post, but no. Most doctors are not encouraged nor even permitted to experiment on children. That ... goes without saying. The point was that his wife knew he had done some things that were not ethical during the war, but she had no idea of the extent of his depravity (nor that he had continued to do horrible things). And the point of showing HER knowledge was because she said a doctor that had worked with her husband previously on his clandestine experiments "owed them a favor" and would send them money and a nurse to help with Klaus's care. Which is why when Angelo shows up unannounced, he is not immediately sent away. Which fuels the entire premise of the movie. The house is slowly transformed into a concentration camp. So, yeah, much of the plot hinges on him being a Nazi ....
They're coming to get you, Barbara!
