M.J. Payne asked E.Michael Helms:

Sorry but that isn't all the question. Do you think there is something inherently sadistic in the German culture considering WWII events in comparison with this strange foot surgery?

E.Michael Helms In WWII there certainly were incidents of cruelty and experimentation by certain doctors. These, however (IMO) were the ones who had "bought into" the Nazi mindset of the "Super Race," meaning the Arians or Germanic people. I don't really believe Germans as a people in those days were inherently cruel or sadistic. I doubt the Nazis medical "monsters" grew from the occasional miscreant doctor from the First World War era.
