Hi Ron, I don't have any knowledge of this, and a quick search didn't turn up any more than the brief mention of him at the Saratoga Spa Park page. For the benefit of our readers, I'll excerpt here the background you gave me by email on the subject, and we'll hope someone will weigh in:

... [there are] tunnels under and around the Simon Baruch building in the NYS Saratoga Park. The Simon Baruch Building is the current Administration Building for the park. Very recently I was told again of the tunnels and several of the rooms which still contain some of the very old equipment used and the efforts made to forget about it. Sounds like something out of a horror movie. I was also told that sometime in the past, a German was hired to do the testing. When I did some very limited research, I noticed Dr. Baruch was hired to do experiments at the site, I believe in 1912sh...

Thanks for the intriguing question!

Hi Jake,
Short answer: yes. The same was true for Federal surgeons. I’ve read a number of anecdotes of this nature. The wounded enemy are usually POW when presented for care, and policy was to treat well. There are also complaints in the literature of unequal or delayed medical treatment of prisoners, but I don’t get the sense that was the norm.
