@PeopleProfiles - You should try making a Documentary about the Nanjing Massacre aka Rape of Nanjing, next. The Nanjing Massacre aka Rape of Nanjing IS THE ACTUAL DATE OF WW2. In my opinion, it's ABSOLUTELY BULLSHIT that we were taught in school WW2 started in 1939, which is a COMPLETE FUCKING LIE.
Us Indonesians often say that the Japanese were Asia's equivalent of Germany. Only that they (the Japanese) don't generally take ownership of what was done.

@DynamicMoment-dl2xx USA has definitely acknowledged the horrors of the atomic bomb. Dropping bombs is one thing, human experimentation is another thing. I would say the latter is way worse
The most infuriating and heartbreaking is the "motherly love experiment" : A charcoal stove tunnel was buried under a special sealed tin room, and a Japanese Unit 731v locked a mother and her 1-year-old son inside. They believe that as the temperature rises, the floor will become hotter and the woman will make the choice to abandon the child as a stepping stone to protect herself from burns. However, until the end of her life, she did not give up her child, still surrounded him with her hands and body, and put the child on her own body. They satisfy curiosity, perversion and distortion in this inhuman way. Just thinking about it is terrifying and suffocating!
hmm my guess is they wanted to see if that ethnic group would abandon kid thus being inferior. but either way yes inhumane and heartless. same formula- they want to see the bad result and if they don't get the result they want then...
Wow, my history teacher did not mention this part, just the anthrax and dysentery-food...maybe for good reason. That's so inhumane I don't think words can express how perverse and corrupt that is. May the mother/son and all their victims' souls rest in peace.
Not only no Justice, USA helped bury evidence and gave them immunity in exchange for their research notes. Seems like the message to history is "dont do unspeakable illegal scientific acts, unless you get results; then we will protect you and erase the evidence." That isnt a terrifying terrible precedent to set, is it?
I have a lot of family in Changchun. Before my grandma passed, she used to tell us all sorts of wartime stories. As kids, my parents told us she was just exaggerating to make the tale more exciting, but now it's interesting how accurate some of her stories have become.

@DynamicMoment-dl2xxmany as supporters of war crime had it coming. Although I do agree with you that the winner rewrites history - alas Japan has lost and will always do.
@@WAW90the war was started by Japan. We Americans remained neutral for the first half of world war 2. Japan forced our hand and dragged us into it against our will when Japan bombed American soil at Pearl Harbor. They started the war but we finished it.
@DynamicMoment-dl2xxI don't know about you but I live in the real world. Do you not remember how bad Japan was wild-n-out. Japan was commiting all kinds of atrocities before the 2nd WW even started. Look up the comfort women. It'll curl your toes. We didn't want to participate in that goddamn war. President Roosevelt was determined not to send our boys back to fight again overseas after the horrors of the 1st WW. He resisted and resisted as France was conquered and Italy and Spain. Even when our closest allies the United Kingdom was being demolished and Winston Churchill was begging us for help we still resisted. Roosevelt was protecting his citizens. It was the Japanese who forced our hand and dragged us into that war when they bombed American soil at pearl harbor. We didn't start it they did. That was it. You don't poke a sleeping bear unless you're grown up enough to accept the risks of consequences. That's exactly what they did when they bombed us they poked a sleeping grizzly bear. And even then we didn't immediately blow them off the map. We gave them some time to come to their senses and only used that bomb as a last resort. We didn't start that fight but we sure as shit finished it. And we saved the entire world in the process. Like all casualties of war it's a massive tragedy on both sides. It's such a complicated situation. It ended the war in all parts of the world and saved many millions of people. But so many thousands of innocent Japanese citizens suffered horrific unimaginable deaths including women and children. That's an extremely impossible decision to make. Sacrifice thousands to save millions across the globe. Ultimately it was decided that was the only way to save the globe. Japan was not a victim though. They committed immense unspeakable horrors against countless millions of people for a long time building up to the bombing of Hiroshima. I as an American have often mourned the innocent lives lost in the bombing of Japan. The women and children and elderly. Their immense suffering and their grief. I've felt deeply ashamed for what my grandfather's generation carried out that day. But I also understand the circumstances leading up to it and that Japan was completely off the rails in the atrocities they committed against so many people for years and years. The experimentation on humans. The comfort women isn't even comprehensible the unforgivable crimes and extreme brutalities they committed against so many hundreds of thousands if not millions of women for so many years. They were slaves. Sex slaves being butchered. The comfort women brothels were literally slaughter houses. Don't forget about the horrors the Japanese committed. There's no good side and bad side in war. There's no winner. There's blood on everyone's hands. All's fair in love and war and there's no such thing as a fair fight. Sometimes the only way to survive a devil is to become one yourself. Fighting fire with fire. That's what we did. And if you hail from the west we saved your ass's in the process. Like we have countless times during war and after natural disasters we swooped in and saved the day. Everyone wants handouts and help from us. Then turns around after accepting that help and suddenly we're ignorant stupid overweight vulgar mouthed Americans with loose morals. Miss me with that bullshit. Better than being pretentious superficial pompous uptight over seas windbags. I'll be a loose moral'd vulgar mouthed American any day of the week. I can live however I want and I have infinite opportunities. The sky's the limit. And my country has all the power. That gives me comfort. Because We don't have a class system here so everyone has a chance at achieving greatness and/or attaining happiness. Of course we're not perfect by a long shot. Like everyone else we have our share of problems. But there's plenty of reasons why for a century now we've been regarded by millions as the greatest nation in the world. And why we have more foreigners immigrate to here from all over the world more than literally every other country on the planet. Everyone talks shit about us yet they flock in by the thousands and thousands every single year to live here. If we're so awful and there's other places that are so much better than why don't they immigrate to those places instead? Why do we continue to have the most influx of immigrants moving here over every other nation? I'll tell you why because you're not going to have a better quality of life anywhere else on the globe nor will you find more or better opportunities. Not to mention EVERYWHERE here has central air conditioning. Plus the fact that we're the most diverse multi-cultural nation in the world. You'll never have as much freedom of expression anywhere else as we do here. To openly criticize our government and to speak your mind. I remember watching king Charles coronation on TV recently and there were people anti monarchists protesting during the procession and they were being arrested and removed. I was appalled at how they were being silenced by the English government for something we Americans are entitled to that's protected under the first amendment of our constitution. It's our right to publicly express our opinions. Peaceful protest is a form of public expression. It's a protected right. But that's not the case in many other places.
There is only One other video that is very old and does not give the details that this video does. I am Thankful that this was produced in a very Professional manor and goes in depth on this subject matter, Not many people know about this.
I'm grateful for each and every video about Unit 731. The more people know about it, the better. I want the world to remember what happened and NEVER forget. Sincerely, a man of Korean descent.
Being interested in WWII for many years, I knew about this aspect of war history, or at least had heard something about it. I must say, though, the extent of the germ-warfare experimentation and actual use disclosed in this documentary was far greater than I'd realized; and it began much earlier than I'd heard as well. I guess you could say that the post-war effort to erase and forget this history was somewhat successful. The Japanese weren't talking, and those murdered were silenced forever.
America's wartime effort was the main thing that put a stop to Japan"s evil experimentation on & extermination of human beings. Later, America was the shield behind which sheltered millions of free people threatened by communist enslavement and annihilation. Yet somehow, by a subtle twisting and tendentious focus, this video manages to make America the bad guy. Learn from this video. Enjoy it. It's well made, after all... But make sure to separate the wheat from the chaff before forming your final conclusions.
Yes, agree. Excellent documenary. I am now an old man, age 77 years. I should have learned about these things when I was young. I did my best but as indicated here, the American govenment had an agenda that did not put full disclosure of the past on all sides first. To cite the closing words of Elsa Morante's book from 1974 "History: A novel" which was apparently unwelcome because it was against war not against only one's own country's enemies, "And history continues."
History is created by the people, and it is impossible for everything to be adapted by winners. Your Japanese people have remained unchanged from ancient times to the present, extremely shameless, and still do not admit their crimes.@DynamicMoment-dl2xx
Howevr, I know well that Chinese forces massacred a total of 1.2 million Tibetans, more than 100,000 Mongolians and 200,000 Guangxi Zhuang so far. Furthermore, many Uyghurs are still confined in camps even now.

I was born in Harbin. When asked about my opinion on this matter, it's straightforward: those who committed crimes during WWII should be removed from Yasukuni Shrine. While we cannot alter history or penalize the deceased, there's a crucial opportunity to learn from the tragedy to prevent such horrors in the future. Unfortunately, geopolitical conflicts and political correctness have tainted mass media worldwide. Much like Shirō Ishii, if a monster is deemed useful, it seems there is an inclination to overlook crimes. As a Canadian, I've observed that in the Western world, under the banner of freedom, awareness of Unit 731 and its atrocities is limited. This documentary provides a remarkably detailed account. Thank you for shedding light on this part of history and contributing to the education of present and future generations. It's a reminder that history is often written by the victors, as seen in World War II, where war crimes by the Allies or the USSR are notably absent from the narrative.

Those who have a strong constitution should watch the 1988 film "Men Behind the Sun", which dramatizes the activities of Unit 731. It's a Chinese film and doesn't pull any punches in its depiction of the horror of this period of history. I've also discussed Unit 731 with a Scottish friend who's lived in Japan for the past 20 years (he teaches English) and he says that there are still people who were involved with Unit 731 who are still involved in government now.
I doubt there are many people alive that had to do with 731 let alone still be in the goverment. If there are they would of been in the youth core witch are the main characters of that movie. We see the horror through their eyes.

Many people do not know that since 1950, the Chinese Communist Army massacred a total of 1.2 million Tibetans, and between 1966 and 1976, they massacred over 100,000 Mongolians and over 200,000 Guangxi Zhuangs.

@DynamicMoment-dl2xxthat doesn’t really change this scenario. Yeah war crimes were committed in the bombing too. Doesn’t make 731 any less diabolical of a facility. Innocents suffer the most in war. Only way above it is to rise above the cycle of violence and brainwashing ideology

Also, there was no acknowledgement till this day on what was done. Also, i was shocked how many japanese have no idea what their ancestors did.

I lived in Japan. To this date many Japanese refuse to believe what atrocities their nation committed. I remember the story of one of the soldiers, a doctor who helped amputate and dismember prisoners purely for experimental reasons.
Afterwards. he explained, the amputees were killed and cremated immediately to cover up. As an old man he now wanted desperately to make peace with these dead, because the Japanese believe that their spirits come home to reckon. No reaction from official Japan ocurred to my knowledge. Never did. Never will.
I have lived in Japan for more than a decade. What your saying is a popular trope but it’s not what I found. The common knowledge is lacking in the same way Americans lack knowledge of their atrocities committed at war. What I have found is that most Japanese know fully that their country committed horrific crimes. They now feel that, having held to their pacifist constitution for more than 70 years it’s time to stop blaming the living for the sins of the dead.
I disagree with the above comment and shall give you a concrete example. During the start of the Russian and Ukraine war somebody made a social media image that added Putin to the WW2 Axis alliance. Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Japanese Emperor Hirohito. There were so many complaints and exclusively from Japan telling them to completely remove Japan from the image. The number of complaints from oblivious /nationalistic Japs was so high they actually removed Japan. Can you imagine Germany getting away with that?!! Talk about rewrite history! 😂
They say that no one raised the power without a few corpses in their wardrobe. I don’t think there is a single country in the world where the US hasn’t played their cards.

The immunity had benefitted USA in that Shirō Ishii had in return agreed to surrender the live humans experimental data and reports in Harbin he had gathered in Unit 731, saving USA the hassle and budget to start the bioweapon research from scratch. Shirō Ishii was even granted to continue his research at Fort Detrick and had lived in USA until he died at the age of over 80 years old. This monster had had a very good life.

@DynamicMoment-dl2xxI dont think there are innocent people killed by the atom bomb . The invasion started by the Japan army was supported widely by the Japanese people at that time . If the people killed by the atom bomb are innocent , what do you call the Chinese people tortured to death by the Japanese .
Aren't all true scientists like this? You can't have advancement without subjects, usually animals they torture to death but human samples speed up the process massively. I have no idea why people praise scientists so much, its rooted in this behaviour even if there is good outcomes.

I learned a bit about Unit 731 a few years ago, but didn't get very far into the experiments. These people were just as brutal as the Nazi scientists. The poor victims, my heart hurts for them and their families.
Jay: this presentation is sterillised. Ishii and his henchmen specifically vivisected all POWs from the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia/New Zealand. Japanese soldiers ate them as well. East Indian POWs were untouched and were witnesses of these horrors.

Although there may be individual responsibility, the fact that Unit 731's human experimentation, which was a heinous and inhumane atrocity, was a national project rather than an individual's deviant act makes the crime even more serious and creates greater room for criticism.

@@azurecliff8709 Is the threat you claim a threat made against innocent Japan without any reason? I hope you think again about why the Allied Powers at the time made the so-called 'threat' you are talking about. And what you think of as intimidation, we call sanctions. It's the same kind of thing that's being done to North Korea now. Also, at the time, bombing the territory of a warring country was not a war crime. Of course, there may have been violations of international treaties on the part of the Allied Powers. This is only a very minor thing compared to the large-scale human experimentation, genocide policies, intentional massacre of civilians, and conscription of sexual slaves committed by Axis powers such as Japan and Nazi Germany.

It’s a tragedy for humanity that many war criminals in both Japan and Germany were given immunity in the name of ‘information’ that accelerated ‘human progress and technology’!!
It’s because Americans want the pharmaceutical research. Is it any wonder how the US pharma went from unknown status to world class status? It’s all due to these research by Japs and Nazis.
@@sylviam6535That kind of data on the human body can also be used for good, like developing new medicines, etc. Throwing away the data won't bring those people back, but using it to help people could give their deaths some meaning. (though we probably also used it to make bio weapons)
Yes. My father was 2nd wave, Omaha Beach landing. It would be an insult for Japanese to be at Pearl Harbor Remembrances and people today may not understand the attitudes or perspectives we had. Even 1989 I said watch next generation run to what we fought against post Berlin Wall (despite dismantled a good thing). Sure enough, things my father and WWII generation warned could happen does. Dad even interrogated an SS who predicted America to him even if it took 50 years was an account Dad would tell. He'd shake his head as predictions he told SS no way one American would want, say or do, came to be or pass over his lifetime. I still recognize predictions come true.
@richardhart9204 no!. I think you know better but I still responded "No!" You are such a disturbing factor to me if are representative of today's icky mindset where YOU cannot grasp WWII concepts.

If so you need to get help from reading and grasping concepts a little complicated and obviously, over your head.
Thank you for covering Shiro Ishii in such a clear and unbiased manner. While he was a man of his time, and many in other nations were also developing and testing biological weapons, many of his experiments were so egregious as to warrant a trial in the international courts. Having said that…I also feel there were scientists from other countries who also deserved to be investigated and tried for similar crimes against humanity. Many of the German Scientists were secretly brought to the USA, where their research continued under the American military. Both the USA and Britain used their Ally, Canada to grow anthrax with the intention of weaponizing it (on Gateau Island) in the St. Lawrence, (which is still contaminated with anthrax). In the Mallahat military base, Alberta, they made and stored massive amounts of mustard gas for the USA and Britain, The Canadians allowed their Allies to test the gas on volunteer Canadian soldiers, who were given protective gear, exposed to the gas, and made to March back to base…where their burns were measured (testing the protective gear) They did this in Canada because both countries had laws prohibiting the testing of such weapons on their own soldiers. The list goes on, but suffice it to say Shiro Ishii was not alone in committing atrocities of human testing of chemical and biological weapons on humans…all who did should have been tried for breaking regulations the world had made illegal for all. These men had learned to see their subjects, not as humans…but as disposable testing equipment for their theories. When what you are working with is not human in your eyes, there is no empathy or compassion, they may as well be cockroaches.🖤🇨🇦
My great grandfather fought on Peleliu, and Okinawa, part of the Old Breed you might say, told me a story once about Sledgehammer saving his life. He wrote about coming across Marines who had been tortured as well as civilians on Okinawa.
Interesting but missing some important information- the U.K. military did test bio-chemical weapons on military personnel and many died and scandals did result from this however it continued and even in my time in the U.K. military (1970-80’s) volunteers were sought for testing upon. In WW2 anthrax was tested on a deserted Scottish island which after years of ‘treatment’ was only recently declared safe. The Canadian experiments were a Canadian/ USA joint test plan which was short lived as the USA expanded its testing on its civilian population by the release of (I believe) flu off the Pacific coast and metro systems Decommissioned WW2 German bio-chemical manufacturing plant was brought back to the U.K. and put into storage. The secondary symptoms ie cooling pipes were marked for destruction decades later but even then the secondary systems were had enough cross contamination to kill some workers and leave others with life long severe neurological damage.

It truly is one of the best documentaries I ever seen and the narration voice really sells the story. So many moments I said to myself, 😮.. i think I lost it when hearing Ishii was promoted to Minister of Health of Japan at the same time, promoting human experimentation to advance epidemiological science while simultaneously developing biological weapons. When we think of Public Health and the main goal including epidemiology is to promote health and well being, this would be more accurate to title Ishii as Minister of Death. This man was an overachiever and brilliant and evil. We see the men who change history for good or bad are normally built emotionally and mentally the same. One cannot say Ishii was not a man of action as almost every decision his desired outcomes were achieved.

Both axis surgeons escaped justice. Ishii and Mengele died in peacetime and never stood trial for their crimes. Both were uniquely sadistic. Mengele was evil in that he saw his human subjects as experimental tools. But he would add the extra layer of psychological terror. Many noted that he had a demeanor more or less similar to that of Hans Landa of Inglorious Basterds. He appeared as a kind-hearted jolly man only to suddenly turn evil. There is a story of him seeing twin Jewish girls in his laboratory and kindly greeting them and even giving them candy and appearing as this very nice man only to suddenly beginning the process of forcibly conjoining them because it gave him satisfaction. Shiro Ishii on the other hand was very cold-hearted and apathetic to suffering. He ultimately did not care for anything but himself and the Empire of Japan. Nothing deterred him or swayed him. If he had a goal he wanted to achieve, no matter how inhumane, he was going to attain that goal without any thought spared for anyone. To him, it did not matter that the Chinese man being experimented on was screaming in agony as he was getting his body sliced open (without any anesthetic applied to him prior) on the operation bed. All that mattered to Ishii was to see how painful that Chinese man's death was in order to be able to accurately understand how brutal and deadly biological weapons were in order to promote and push for the growth of the Japanese Empire. Both of these men were purely evil and I am hoping that they get sent to a second hell and are suffering there for eternity. Sometimes, the most brutal enemy is the one who does not hold the gun.
Yeah yeah, they are evil and all, but some slaughtered jews worth a huge leap in surgery and hazardous environment equipment used by everybody to this day.
@@euanrwilson357Along with many of the German scientists…they even brought the scientists developing rockets and “super weapons” into the USA to work for them.🖤🇨🇦
@@me0101001000 The field of biological warfare was advanced, allied nations didn't have to do the kind of things Unit 731 did to find out what they did about human bodies. We know exactly how much of a human body is water thanks to Unit 731. There's a reason they couldn't arrest him. His information was as valuable to medicine as Von Braun's was for the American space program. Good luck getting an admission though.
I've never heard MacArthur's treatment of Gen. Yamashita described as anything short of judicial murder. That he died and Ishii got immunity is disgraceful.
What about Fritz Haber a German Jew who developed mustard gas (later known/developed as Zyklon B, ironically used against the Jews by the Nazies) during WW1 and received the Nobel prize in chemistry 1918?
I guarantee that Ishii was spared so that allied scientists could gain information from his research, like the Nazi scientists were spared. They had knowledge that was outside normal parameters, since they had experimented in ways unheard of in normal research.
doctors shiro ishii and josef mengele, your crimes against humanity does not pay. may the souls of those who suffered the most are now resting in eternal peace.

During World War II, 146,597 Japanese people were burnt to death by US military incendiary bombs in Tokyo. The US military also killed 142,572 Japanese people in Hiroshima and 75,520 people in Nagasaki by dropping atomic bombs. However, the very cunning Allies never acknowledged their own brutal war crimes against Japan at the Tokyo Trials of 1946-1948. Do you understand? Winners always rewrite the truth to suit themselves.
I only found out about it in the last 10 years and I’m 51…. My dad is a WW2 buff but he never mentioned it either, wonder if he didn’t know or it was too much to even discuss
Pretty wack that they did stuff to American pow and the usa still covered it up. And to think people still willingly join such a military, even now when its leaders have a fraction of the morality they did back then.
My wife’s grandfather served with the Sea Bees. Pacific Islands. 1942 to 1945. After coming back home from overseas, he never ate rice again. He despised the people he fought against. They behaved, as he said, “worse than any animal” and had “no equal among men or demons.”
If you search for US bioweapons use in North Korea, there is a UN report on some strange warheads the US dropped on a few towns. The warheads had separate compartments containing insects and apparently some dead rats. The UN report documents that the breeds of insects found were not local breeds. The crazy part is that the bomb was exactly like some of Ishii's designs. During the Korean war Ishii was working for the US department of defense at Ft Detrick, MD.
Anyone having doubts about whether or not he should have faced justice should look further into what he was responsible for. While a great documentary, no mention was made of his 'operating' on living humans sick with plague using no anesthesia, freezing people naked in the snow and thawing them far too quickly, etc., etc. He claimed it was research, but it was nothing more than torture for his own amusement.
Im still dumbfounded by the comments about how could he this and that... its extremely simple you take out your emotions when viewing these documentaries, yea. Purely educational. The only thing you can we do is hope for a no repeat.
Maybe because you too are a psychopath. I know few people who could watch this and feel that this man got away with the worst of atrocities and yet you have no problem with it - that says a lot about you.
So I was watching a play through of Spirit Hunter: Death Mark. There’s a ghost that died as a result of wartime experiments. And found it to be a reference to the Unit. Thus starting my bizarre fascination with it. I just couldn’t understand why and how. Did they just not care and enjoyed their actions? Or did they have some justification for their behaviour? Until now. This video truly puts it in context that I was missing. So Thanks for this history lesson, it really shows why and how people can do such things.
I wish I could have told Ishii to his face that everyone who has ever shown compassion to all the people around him/her is far stronger and smarter than he could have ever been, no matter how many lifetimes he could live.
@@Yelladog78Yeah , a lot of people that vote with passion have no idea how evil manipulates their compassion and sees them as tools, that's why they get upset with those that vote for policies that don't sympathise with evil.
the worst part of this was how complicit the US government of the time was. but then again they also used the Japanese as there petri dish to study effects of the atomic bomb
"Can you only split the soul once? For instance, isn't seven-" "Seven? merlin's beard, Tom! Isn't it bad enough to consider killing one person? To rip the soul into seven pieces! This is all hypothetical, isn't it, Tom? All academic? " "of course, sir."

Yea.. makes sense..but torture doesn't work well all the time. For all they knew, the guy could have hidden many methods of attack and diverted their attention with fake information.
I found quite interesting about how the young generations of Japanese react to these kinds of videos, like WW2 or some other war crimes: most of them (5 out of 6 react videos I saw) would react to these horrible incidents normally, like, "Oh, it's terrible," or "it's disgusting," etc., but when it comes to ANY atrocities Japanese did to the Chinese, they ALWAYS fell silent or did not show ANY emotional feelings or reactions. It's like they're programmed to have this kind of behavior. I'm not gonna provide any links here; just search some WW2 "Japanese reaction" videos and you will know what I'm talking about. The most ridiculous one was a guy; he just went babbling through out the whole video, but when the video began to show "The Nanking Massacre," this guy was like, He just turned off his mind and went blank right there for 3 whole minutes, and began to talk again because the video moved on to the next chapter, LMFAO!
I've studied epidimiology. I just want to add that Ishii's work resurfaced during the covid pandemic and his findings were one of the few leads we had back when it all started.
Shame on Japan for avoiding any accountibilty to this present day. Shame on McArthur and all US officials involved for the cover up. Not expecting anything else by the US anyway. Disgusting humanity.
The day of Final Judgement will not go well for this man. He may have escaped earthly consequences for his crimes, but God will not let him slink away again on his day of reckoning. I had no idea that Unit 731's exploits extended to field experiments...and that they'd had such efficacy. Its disgusting to me because at least death from a gunshot is a relatively quick death. But those diseases they weaponized prior to release are incredibly painful illnesses to succumb to. Another thing I want to point out about this is in regards to the secular tendency to pit science against religion, citing atrocities that have been committed in the name of religion as a means to invalidate religious belief and traditional morality. This man, along with the Nazi's "Angel of Death" and their followers prove that such accusations go both ways (or at least they should). Scientific minds devoid of morality, empathy, or compassion, can perpetrate unimaginable horrors in the name of science.
Virtually every country founded on anything other than Christianity (with the sole exception of Buddhists as far as I’m aware for some reason) killed significant numbers of people (Maoist China- ~100 million, USSR- ~60 million, Germany, Japan, The Middle East, etc) Just food for thought.
@@antibull4869 because christans killed native Americans, indians in Indian subcontinent ( millions under man made famines and massacres , ) And finally in Africa.
@@antibull4869 Christianity? Oh, yes. The Crusades. The Inquisition. The Templars. The Cathars. Pogroms. The 30 Years War. Antisemitism which laid the foundation for the Holocaust. Child molesting. As for Buddhists: Buddhism was and is widespread in Japan and in Cambodia or The Khmer Red. If you want actual food for thought.
Few people in history match the cruelty of Ishii. Mengele, is my immediate thought of somebody along those lines. Ilsa Koch, perhaps. Oscar Dirlewanger. Actually come to think of it, man there’s a long list of people from that sordid time frame who truly were awful.

This is why I believe that the use of atomic weapons was appropriate, well-deserved, prudent and just. That most modern Japanese children are not taught about this, and the mountain of other war crimes the army and the Japanese people (though slave labor used throughout Japan) is abominable. Equally abominable is the cover up, just so America could jump start its own bio-chemical programs.
@@amonke5276 Not America's proudest moment. However, no one was running bioweapon medical experiments on them, nor did they starve them to death, nor were they all executed at the end of the war en mass. Not saying what America did was right, it wasn't. Additionally, one bad/horrific act doesn't excuse or rationalize another bad/horrific act, nor does it mean that both can't be confronted for the unethical - monstrous behavior it is. There is war, and there is what Naz_ Germany and Imperial Japan did. There are no comparisons, the ev_l is exponentially worse (in scope, severity, frequency), as well as being systematic and known by nation leaders on down.
@@amonke5276. That was like a holiday camp compared to the Japanese treatment of Chinese. My grandfather die in the slave labour camp, coal mine in Borneo. They murdered in the millions.
@@andrewwong2605 being forced into camps because of their ethnicity and treated as second class citizens doesnt make it less worse because the japanese did also commit war crimes and the atomic bomb and fire bombing of tokyo was also a war crime but they didnt got persecuted for their crimes
My grandfather died in his 70s and would have been over 100 if he had lived. He told me about his father being killed by the Japanese in a field, and his head was swollen when he saw it. Because the Japanese army invaded the Jiangsu area of China, they hid in the reed field, but hid for a few days too hungry, grandpa's father went home to get some food for the family, on the way met the Japanese soldiers, because he did not bring "good people card", so suspected of being a soldier, was killed, in fact, is an ordinary people.

In my opinion, it's ABSOLUTELY BULLSHIT that we were taught in school WW2 started in 1939, which is a COMPLETE FUCKING LIE.

Your Japanese people never reflect on why you were beaten, but on why you lost this war, pure jumping clowns🤣👉🤡
@DynamicMoment-dl2xx USA has definitely acknowledged the horrors of the atomic bomb. Dropping bombs is one thing, human experimentation is another thing. I would say the latter is way worse
@DynamicMoment-dl2xx They have litteraly acknowledged all off of that, your just still angry
The most infuriating and heartbreaking is the "motherly love experiment" :
A charcoal stove tunnel was buried under a special sealed tin room, and a Japanese Unit 731v locked a mother and her 1-year-old son inside. They believe that as the temperature rises, the floor will become hotter and the woman will make the choice to abandon the child as a stepping stone to protect herself from burns.
However, until the end of her life, she did not give up her child, still surrounded him with her hands and body, and put the child on her own body.
They satisfy curiosity, perversion and distortion in this inhuman way.
Just thinking about it is terrifying and suffocating!
hmm my guess is they wanted to see if that ethnic group would abandon kid thus being inferior. but either way yes inhumane and heartless. same formula- they want to see the bad result and if they don't get the result they want then...
😢never know this story. Thanks for telling
Horrible.....may that woman and child rest in forever peace
Wow, my history teacher did not mention this part, just the anthrax and dysentery-food...maybe for good reason. That's so inhumane I don't think words can express how perverse and corrupt that is.

@@WAW90the war was started by Japan. We Americans remained neutral for the first half of world war 2. Japan forced our hand and dragged us into it against our will when Japan bombed American soil at Pearl Harbor. They started the war but we finished it.
@DynamicMoment-dl2xxI don't know about you but I live in the real world. Do you not remember how bad Japan was wild-n-out. Japan was commiting all kinds of atrocities before the 2nd WW even started. Look up the comfort women. It'll curl your toes. We didn't want to participate in that goddamn war. President Roosevelt was determined not to send our boys back to fight again overseas after the horrors of the 1st WW. He resisted and resisted as France was conquered and Italy and Spain. Even when our closest allies the United Kingdom was being demolished and Winston Churchill was begging us for help we still resisted. Roosevelt was protecting his citizens. It was the Japanese who forced our hand and dragged us into that war when they bombed American soil at pearl harbor. We didn't start it they did. That was it. You don't poke a sleeping bear unless you're grown up enough to accept the risks of consequences. That's exactly what they did when they bombed us they poked a sleeping grizzly bear. And even then we didn't immediately blow them off the map. We gave them some time to come to their senses and only used that bomb as a last resort. We didn't start that fight but we sure as shit finished it. And we saved the entire world in the process. Like all casualties of war it's a massive tragedy on both sides. It's such a complicated situation. It ended the war in all parts of the world and saved many millions of people. But so many thousands of innocent Japanese citizens suffered horrific unimaginable deaths including women and children. That's an extremely impossible decision to make. Sacrifice thousands to save millions across the globe. Ultimately it was decided that was the only way to save the globe. Japan was not a victim though. They committed immense unspeakable horrors against countless millions of people for a long time building up to the bombing of Hiroshima. I as an American have often mourned the innocent lives lost in the bombing of Japan. The women and children and elderly. Their immense suffering and their grief. I've felt deeply ashamed for what my grandfather's generation carried out that day. But I also understand the circumstances leading up to it and that Japan was completely off the rails in the atrocities they committed against so many people for years and years. The experimentation on humans. The comfort women isn't even comprehensible the unforgivable crimes and extreme brutalities they committed against so many hundreds of thousands if not millions of women for so many years. They were slaves. Sex slaves being butchered. The comfort women brothels were literally slaughter houses. Don't forget about the horrors the Japanese committed. There's no good side and bad side in war. There's no winner. There's blood on everyone's hands. All's fair in love and war and there's no such thing as a fair fight. Sometimes the only way to survive a devil is to become one yourself. Fighting fire with fire. That's what we did. And if you hail from the west we saved your ass's in the process. Like we have countless times during war and after natural disasters we swooped in and saved the day. Everyone wants handouts and help from us. Then turns around after accepting that help and suddenly we're ignorant stupid overweight vulgar mouthed Americans with loose morals. Miss me with that bullshit. Better than being pretentious superficial pompous uptight over seas windbags. I'll be a loose moral'd vulgar mouthed American any day of the week. I can live however I want and I have infinite opportunities. The sky's the limit. And my country has all the power. That gives me comfort. Because We don't have a class system here so everyone has a chance at achieving greatness and/or attaining happiness. Of course we're not perfect by a long shot. Like everyone else we have our share of problems. But there's plenty of reasons why for a century now we've been regarded by millions as the greatest nation in the world. And why we have more foreigners immigrate to here from all over the world more than literally every other country on the planet. Everyone talks shit about us yet they flock in by the thousands and thousands every single year to live here. If we're so awful and there's other places that are so much better than why don't they immigrate to those places instead? Why do we continue to have the most influx of immigrants moving here over every other nation? I'll tell you why because you're not going to have a better quality of life anywhere else on the globe nor will you find more or better opportunities. Not to mention EVERYWHERE here has central air conditioning. Plus the fact that we're the most diverse multi-cultural nation in the world. You'll never have as much freedom of expression anywhere else as we do here. To openly criticize our government and to speak your mind. I remember watching king Charles coronation on TV recently and there were people anti monarchists protesting during the procession and they were being arrested and removed. I was appalled at how they were being silenced by the English government for something we Americans are entitled to that's protected under the first amendment of our constitution. It's our right to publicly express our opinions. Peaceful protest is a form of public expression. It's a protected right. But that's not the case in many other places.

Not many people know about this. Excellent documentary.
Being interested in WWII for many years, I knew about this aspect of war history, or at least had heard something about it. I must say, though, the extent of the germ-warfare experimentation and actual use disclosed in this documentary was far greater than I'd realized; and it began much earlier than I'd heard as well.
I guess you could say that the post-war effort to erase and forget this history was somewhat successful. The Japanese weren't talking, and those murdered were silenced forever.
America's wartime effort was the main thing that put a stop to Japan"s evil experimentation on & extermination of human beings. Later, America was the shield behind which sheltered millions of free people threatened by communist enslavement and annihilation. Yet somehow, by a subtle twisting and tendentious focus, this video manages to make America the bad guy. Learn from this video. Enjoy it. It's well made, after all... But make sure to separate the wheat from the chaff before forming your final conclusions.

Yes, agree. Excellent documenary. I am now an old man, age 77 years. I should have learned about these things when I was young. I did my best but as indicated here, the American govenment had an agenda that did not put full disclosure of the past on all sides first. To cite the closing words of Elsa Morante's book from 1974 "History: A novel" which was apparently unwelcome because it was against war not against only one's own country's enemies, "And history continues."

I was born in Harbin. When asked about my opinion on this matter, it's straightforward: those who committed crimes during WWII should be removed from Yasukuni Shrine. While we cannot alter history or penalize the deceased, there's a crucial opportunity to learn from the tragedy to prevent such horrors in the future.
Unfortunately, geopolitical conflicts and political correctness have tainted mass media worldwide. Much like Shirō Ishii, if a monster is deemed useful, it seems there is an inclination to overlook crimes. As a Canadian, I've observed that in the Western world, under the banner of freedom, awareness of Unit 731 and its atrocities is limited.
This documentary provides a remarkably detailed account. Thank you for shedding light on this part of history and contributing to the education of present and future generations. It's a reminder that history is often written by the victors, as seen in World War II, where war crimes by the Allies or the USSR are notably absent from the narrative.

In the absence of any kind of real retribution, let's hope there's a special place in the depths of hell for Shiro Ishii and those who condoned what he did.
Unfortunately, probably not.
Ironically, he actually converted to a belief system that would, indeed, see him consigned to hell!
@GK-yi4xv as unfair to us as it seems, I'm comforted by the knowledge that someone as vile as him will be in heaven if his converting was sincere. If someone so evil can be saved, so can I.
Dead is dead, heaven and hell are in the here and now, luck of the draw. Just have to look to Gaza!

I lived in Japan. To this date many Japanese refuse to believe what atrocities their nation committed. I remember the story of one of the soldiers, a doctor who helped amputate and dismember prisoners purely for experimental reasons.
Afterwards. he explained, the amputees were killed and cremated immediately to cover up. As an old man he now wanted desperately to make peace with these dead, because the Japanese believe that their spirits come home to reckon. No reaction from official Japan ocurred to my knowledge. Never did. Never will.
I have lived in Japan for more than a decade. What your saying is a popular trope but it’s not what I found. The common knowledge is lacking in the same way Americans lack knowledge of their atrocities committed at war. What I have found is that most Japanese know fully that their country committed horrific crimes. They now feel that, having held to their pacifist constitution for more than 70 years it’s time to stop blaming the living for the sins of the dead.
Did you even read what I told?@@harr7959
I disagree with the above comment and shall give you a concrete example. During the start of the Russian and Ukraine war somebody made a social media image that added Putin to the WW2 Axis alliance. Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Japanese Emperor Hirohito. There were so many complaints and exclusively from Japan telling them to completely remove Japan from the image. The number of complaints from oblivious /nationalistic Japs was so high they actually removed Japan. Can you imagine Germany getting away with that?!! Talk about rewrite history! 😂
That’s like saying the Germans should not have paid back for what they did to the Jews back in the 40s…

The immunity had benefitted USA in that Shirō Ishii had in return agreed to surrender the live humans experimental data and reports in Harbin he had gathered in Unit 731, saving USA the hassle and budget to start the bioweapon research from scratch. Shirō Ishii was even granted to continue his research at Fort Detrick and had lived in USA until he died at the age of over 80 years old. This monster had had a very good life.
@@jeremyxu8155if it makes you feel better, the USA later dropped the nuclear bombs in Hiroshima and nagasaki and later documented the effects of nuclear radiation on the surviving and dying victims.

He was a sadist; not a scientist. Accordingly, war crime charges should have been brought against him.
Aren't all true scientists like this? You can't have advancement without subjects, usually animals they torture to death but human samples speed up the process massively. I have no idea why people praise scientists so much, its rooted in this behaviour even if there is good outcomes.

Although there may be individual responsibility, the fact that Unit 731's human experimentation, which was a heinous and inhumane atrocity, was a national project rather than an individual's deviant act makes the crime even more serious and creates greater room for criticism.

And what you think of as intimidation, we call sanctions. It's the same kind of thing that's being done to North Korea now.
Also, at the time, bombing the territory of a warring country was not a war crime. Of course, there may have been violations of international treaties on the part of the Allied Powers.
This is only a very minor thing compared to the large-scale human experimentation, genocide policies, intentional massacre of civilians, and conscription of sexual slaves committed by Axis powers such as Japan and Nazi Germany.

Not gonna talk about for example the r ape of Nanking? How many millions died at the hands of Japanese expansion during the Sino-War in the 30s? That was the consequence of doing those acts first & getting retaliated back for revenge. Those civilian deaths caused by the allies is a drop in a bucket that largely the allies try to avoid doing such acts as a collective military force.
It’s a tragedy for humanity that many war criminals in both Japan and Germany were given immunity in the name of ‘information’ that accelerated ‘human progress and technology’!!

West Germany was built on Nazis: watch this docu by Zakazane Historie, turn on English subs: "Nazi Federal Republic" by "Zakazane Historie".

Yes. My father was 2nd wave, Omaha Beach landing. It would be an insult for Japanese to be at Pearl Harbor Remembrances and people today may not understand the attitudes or perspectives we had.

Dad even interrogated an SS who predicted America to him even if it took 50 years was an account Dad would tell.

Thank you for covering Shiro Ishii in such a clear and unbiased manner. While he was a man of his time, and many in other nations were also developing and testing biological weapons, many of his experiments were so egregious as to warrant a trial in the international courts.
Having said that…I also feel there were scientists from other countries who also deserved to be investigated and tried for similar crimes against humanity. Many of the German Scientists were secretly brought to the USA, where their research continued under the American military.
Both the USA and Britain used their Ally, Canada to grow anthrax with the intention of weaponizing it (on Gateau Island) in the St. Lawrence, (which is still contaminated with anthrax). In the Mallahat military base, Alberta, they made and stored massive amounts of mustard gas for the USA and Britain,
The Canadians allowed their Allies to test the gas on volunteer Canadian soldiers, who were given protective gear, exposed to the gas, and made to March back to base…where their burns were measured (testing the protective gear)
They did this in Canada because both countries had laws prohibiting the testing of such weapons on their own soldiers.
The list goes on, but suffice it to say Shiro Ishii was not alone in committing atrocities of human testing of chemical and biological weapons on humans…all who did should have been tried for breaking regulations the world had made illegal for all.
These men had learned to see their subjects, not as humans…but as disposable testing equipment for their theories. When what you are working with is not human in your eyes, there is no empathy or compassion, they may as well be cockroaches.🖤🇨🇦
u can NOT compare UK to this monstrous crime
@@dandared6395sure he can, britain and usa are the worst kinds. The worst
My great grandfather fought on Peleliu, and Okinawa, part of the Old Breed you might say, told me a story once about Sledgehammer saving his life. He wrote about coming across Marines who had been tortured as well as civilians on Okinawa.
Interesting but missing some important information- the U.K. military did test bio-chemical weapons on military personnel and many died and scandals did result from this however it continued and even in my time in the U.K. military (1970-80’s) volunteers were sought for testing upon.
In WW2 anthrax was tested on a deserted Scottish island which after years of ‘treatment’ was only recently declared safe.
The Canadian experiments were a Canadian/ USA joint test plan which was short lived as the USA expanded its testing on its civilian population by the release of (I believe) flu off the Pacific coast and metro systems
Decommissioned WW2 German bio-chemical manufacturing plant was brought back to the U.K. and put into storage. The secondary symptoms ie cooling pipes were marked for destruction decades later but even then the secondary systems were had enough cross contamination to kill some workers and leave others with life long severe neurological damage.

It truly is one of the best documentaries I ever seen and the narration voice really sells the story. So many moments I said to myself, 😮.. i think I lost it when hearing Ishii was promoted to Minister of Health of Japan at the same time, promoting human experimentation to advance epidemiological science while simultaneously developing biological weapons.
When we think of Public Health and the main goal including epidemiology is to promote health and well being, this would be more accurate to title Ishii as
Minister of Death.
This man was an overachiever and brilliant and evil. We see the men who change history for good or bad are normally built emotionally and mentally the same. One cannot say Ishii was not a man of action as almost every decision his desired outcomes were achieved.

@@azurecliff8709 U.S Also dropped leaflets over the city and 16 miles around it, telling the citizens to leave before the bombings commenced.
Both axis surgeons escaped justice. Ishii and Mengele died in peacetime and never stood trial for their crimes. Both were uniquely sadistic. Mengele was evil in that he saw his human subjects as experimental tools. But he would add the extra layer of psychological terror. Many noted that he had a demeanor more or less similar to that of Hans Landa of Inglorious Basterds. He appeared as a kind-hearted jolly man only to suddenly turn evil. There is a story of him seeing twin Jewish girls in his laboratory and kindly greeting them and even giving them candy and appearing as this very nice man only to suddenly beginning the process of forcibly conjoining them because it gave him satisfaction. Shiro Ishii on the other hand was very cold-hearted and apathetic to suffering. He ultimately did not care for anything but himself and the Empire of Japan. Nothing deterred him or swayed him. If he had a goal he wanted to achieve, no matter how inhumane, he was going to attain that goal without any thought spared for anyone. To him, it did not matter that the Chinese man being experimented on was screaming in agony as he was getting his body sliced open (without any anesthetic applied to him prior) on the operation bed. All that mattered to Ishii was to see how painful that Chinese man's death was in order to be able to accurately understand how brutal and deadly biological weapons were in order to promote and push for the growth of the Japanese Empire. Both of these men were purely evil and I am hoping that they get sent to a second hell and are suffering there for eternity. Sometimes, the most brutal enemy is the one who does not hold the gun.
It's worse than that - the US government gave Ishii immunity in exchange for his notes.

Pretty wack that they did stuff to American pow and the usa still covered it up. And to think people still willingly join such a military, even now when its leaders have a fraction of the morality they did back then.
My wife’s grandfather served with the Sea Bees. Pacific Islands. 1942 to 1945. After coming back home from overseas, he never ate rice again. He despised the people he fought against. They behaved, as he said, “worse than any animal” and had “no equal among men or demons.”
If you search for US bioweapons use in North Korea, there is a UN report on some strange warheads the US dropped on a few towns. The warheads had separate compartments containing insects and apparently some dead rats. The UN report documents that the breeds of insects found were not local breeds. The crazy part is that the bomb was exactly like some of Ishii's designs. During the Korean war Ishii was working for the US department of defense at Ft Detrick, MD.

Anyone having doubts about whether or not he should have faced justice should look further into what he was responsible for. While a great documentary, no mention was made of his 'operating' on living humans sick with plague using no anesthesia, freezing people naked in the snow and thawing them far too quickly, etc., etc. He claimed it was research, but it was nothing more than torture for his own amusement.
Im still dumbfounded by the comments about how could he this and that... its extremely simple you take out your emotions when viewing these documentaries, yea. Purely educational. The only thing you can we do is hope for a no repeat.
Maybe because you too are a psychopath. I know few people who could watch this and feel that this man got away with the worst of atrocities and yet you have no problem with it - that says a lot about you.
So I was watching a play through of Spirit Hunter: Death Mark.
There’s a ghost that died as a result of wartime experiments. And found it to be a reference to the Unit.
Thus starting my bizarre fascination with it.
I just couldn’t understand why and how. Did they just not care and enjoyed their actions? Or did they have some justification for their behaviour?
Until now. This video truly puts it in context that I was missing. So Thanks for this history lesson, it really shows why and how people can do such things.
Sadly, not too many people know about this real life "Doctor Moreau"...great video.
I wish I could have told Ishii to his face that everyone who has ever shown compassion to all the people around him/her is far stronger and smarter than he could have ever been, no matter how many lifetimes he could live.

Both Japan and Germany are no different when it comes to war crimes!
You know a person or institution is pure evil when Slayer writes a song about them.
Unit 731 has well and truly earned this dubious 'honour'
Anime Pic = your opinion doesn't count 😅

Great work. I would love to see more about why and how this guy and others like him essentially avoided prosecution for their crimes in more detail.
I wish there were Japanese subtitles so my wife could watch this...Great documentary
Thanks for always bringing insightful documentary.
I'm enjoying this video very much. I like the pacing of it and the still images you've chosen to include. I like that it's a subject matter that hasn't already been widely documented. I'm most impressed with the narrator's voice and am genuinely curious to know if it is a real person or computer generated? Thank you.
I'm definitely not a computer....
@@rubencrow9571 I'm very pleased to hear that. I will enjoy these videos even more knowing that.
A real person and thanks for the praise.
@rubencrow9572 Thanks for being human a dvoice so correct someone thought you're synthesised. ))
During World War II, 146,597 Japanese people were burnt to death by US military incendiary bombs in Tokyo. The US military also killed 142,572 Japanese people in Hiroshima and 75,520 people in Nagasaki by dropping atomic bombs. However, the very cunning Allies never acknowledged their own brutal war crimes against Japan at the Tokyo Trials of 1946-1948. Do you understand? Winners always rewrite the truth to suit themselves.
Science without humanism is easy to turn potential saviors into ingenious monsters
Resident Evil, for real. I wonder if Shinji Makami got ideas from Japan and their BOW's...
The Japanese Mengele, thanks for the video ✌🏼
Other way around. This dude was experimenting on people years before Germany even had a camp up.
@@raramcgee4982 it was meant more as an notoriety statement, you are right about the fact that Ishii was doing this way before but still most people know about the "angel of death" and not about Shiros and Unit731 crimes and experiments. Most people here where I live never even heard about things like the Nanking massacre etc.

Good, straight to the point
Every year the Japanese cabinet pays respect to these war criminals in the shrine!!
Shared.
Thanks for sharing this video.
Right on. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the video
An excellent documentary, very thoughtful and balanced.
They could have extracted the information through torture, no need to cooperate.
Yea.. makes sense..but torture doesn't work well all the time. For all they knew, the guy could have hidden many methods of attack and diverted their attention with fake information.
I like to think i know a bit about WWII but i had no idea about this unit. Great video as per
I found quite interesting about how the young generations of Japanese react to these kinds of videos, like WW2 or some other war crimes: most of them (5 out of 6 react videos I saw) would react to these horrible incidents normally, like, "Oh, it's terrible," or "it's disgusting," etc., but when it comes to ANY atrocities Japanese did to the Chinese, they ALWAYS fell silent or did not show ANY emotional feelings or reactions. It's like they're programmed to have this kind of behavior. I'm not gonna provide any links here; just search some WW2 "Japanese reaction" videos and you will know what I'm talking about.
The most ridiculous one was a guy; he just went babbling through out the whole video, but when the video began to show "The Nanking Massacre," this guy was like, He just turned off his mind and went blank right there for 3 whole minutes, and began to talk again because the video moved on to the next chapter, LMFAO!
I've studied epidimiology. I just want to add that Ishii's work resurfaced during the covid pandemic and his findings were one of the few leads we had back when it all started.
Shame on Japan for avoiding any accountibilty to this present day. Shame on McArthur and all US officials involved for the cover up. Not expecting anything else by the US anyway.
Disgusting humanity.
The day of Final Judgement will not go well for this man. He may have escaped earthly consequences for his crimes, but God will not let him slink away again on his day of reckoning.
I had no idea that Unit 731's exploits extended to field experiments...and that they'd had such efficacy. Its disgusting to me because at least death from a gunshot is a relatively quick death. But those diseases they weaponized prior to release are incredibly painful illnesses to succumb to.
Another thing I want to point out about this is in regards to the secular tendency to pit science against religion, citing atrocities that have been committed in the name of religion as a means to invalidate religious belief and traditional morality. This man, along with the Nazi's "Angel of Death" and their followers prove that such accusations go both ways (or at least they should). Scientific minds devoid of morality, empathy, or compassion, can perpetrate unimaginable horrors in the name of science.
Virtually every country founded on anything other than Christianity (with the sole exception of Buddhists as far as I’m aware for some reason) killed significant numbers of people (Maoist China- ~100 million, USSR- ~60 million, Germany, Japan, The Middle East, etc)
Just food for thought.
@@antibull4869 because christans killed native Americans, indians in Indian subcontinent ( millions under man made famines and massacres , )
And finally in Africa.
@@antibull4869 Christianity? Oh, yes. The Crusades. The Inquisition. The Templars. The Cathars. Pogroms. The 30 Years War. Antisemitism which laid the foundation for the Holocaust. Child molesting. As for Buddhists: Buddhism was and is widespread in Japan and in Cambodia or The Khmer Red.
If you want actual food for thought.
Hell is basically Unit 731 writ large.
Few people in history match the cruelty of Ishii. Mengele, is my immediate thought of somebody along those lines. Ilsa Koch, perhaps. Oscar Dirlewanger. Actually come to think of it, man there’s a long list of people from that sordid time frame who truly were awful.
most psychopaths can become surgeons...never forget. Lol
Ah man, you’ve cursed me to get my arm cut off during an upcoming routine shoulder procedure.

Amazing documentary!! Hard to find good intel regarding this specific topic.
bro said intel 🤣
I’m without words
Great stuff, can't get enough of your guys' content
This is why I believe that the use of atomic weapons was appropriate, well-deserved, prudent and just. That most modern Japanese children are not taught about this, and the mountain of other war crimes the army and the Japanese people (though slave labor used throughout Japan) is abominable. Equally abominable is the cover up, just so America could jump start its own bio-chemical programs.
What about the american japanese that where put in american camps?
@@amonke5276 Not America's proudest moment. However, no one was running bioweapon medical experiments on them, nor did they starve them to death, nor were they all executed at the end of the war en mass. Not saying what America did was right, it wasn't. Additionally, one bad/horrific act doesn't excuse or rationalize another bad/horrific act, nor does it mean that both can't be confronted for the unethical - monstrous behavior it is. There is war, and there is what Naz_ Germany and Imperial Japan did. There are no comparisons, the ev_l is exponentially worse (in scope, severity, frequency), as well as being systematic and known by nation leaders on down.
@@amonke5276. That was like a holiday camp compared to the Japanese treatment of Chinese. My grandfather die in the slave labour camp, coal mine in Borneo. They murdered in the millions.
@@andrewwong2605 being forced into camps because of their ethnicity and treated as second class citizens doesnt make it less worse because the japanese did also commit war crimes and the atomic bomb and fire bombing of tokyo was also a war crime but they didnt got persecuted for their crimes
Yeeeaaaahhh can we all just agree that all camps are bad? Blame game gets us nowhere
The inhumanity of man never ceases to amaze and horrify me.
Love your videos on Japan guys! Your video in Meiji the Great, japan's greatest emperor is my favorite!
My grandfather died in his 70s and would have been over 100 if he had lived. He told me about his father being killed by the Japanese in a field, and his head was swollen when he saw it. Because the Japanese army invaded the Jiangsu area of China, they hid in the reed field, but hid for a few days too hungry, grandpa's father went home to get some food for the family, on the way met the Japanese soldiers, because he did not bring "good people card", so suspected of being a soldier, was killed, in fact, is an ordinary people.
