Unless I'm mistaken, some medical advances developed by barbaric Nazi practitioners during the war era were later found to be acceptable effective and then incorporated into western medical practice.

You are not mistaken. The US took deliberate steps to recruit NAZI scientists, doctors and engineers in Operation Paperclip. That group included the Surgeon General of the Reich Walter Schreiber and his deputy Dr. Kurt Blome; both were biological warfare researchers who used research from human experiments at Dachau concentration camp. There were numerous others including Sigmund Rascher, an SS doctor who froze inmates to see if he could wake them.

There were numerous medical advancements from the research, but it all came from ugly, horrendous beginnings.
