This video sheds light on a dark chapter in modern history. During World War II, Japan operated a top-secret biological warfare program called Unit 731, led by microbiologist Shiro Ishi. This unit carried out gruesome experiments on prisoners of war, including Chinese and Russian soldiers, as well as civilians. The experiments were designed to test the effects of various diseases and weapons on the human body. The atrocities committed by Unit 731 were kept hidden for many years, both by Japan itself and the USA which granted many of the perpetrators immunity from prosecution in exchange for their data and research.

Were the scientists and doctors at Unit 731 truly evil, or was this another case of compartmentalisation, or a case of the "banality of evil"?
While no one was "free" in Imperial Japan, given how they worked their own civilians to death at improvised armaments factories at the end of the war, those who worked at 731 were truly evil. As they also took young female Chinese civilians to "entertain" themselves with...
The entire staff of Unit 731 should have been thoroughly interrogated and then repatriated to Japan without their heads...
TELL THEM!!! Worse than Germany. And, NOBODY says anything, but "sorry". Notice how Africa, Mexico are just as brutal. People need to think cultural not race.
Good point.
Africa and Mexico? Only the west and Japan has engaged in industrial and never heard of before murder, torture and mass displacement. Any attempt to conflate other cultures with the same history is nonsensical and self serving.
The appalling sickness visited on British nurses, Christmas 1941 on Hong Kong is rarely spoken of either, similar rampages on Singapore, the audiobook Knights of Bushido - Edward Russell (free on YT here) is essential reading.
Thanks for the recommendation - I will certainly look out for the audiobook!
@1:30 Sino-Japanese war started around 1932 I believe not 1937 but what a great piece of work and many thanks. ☘️

You said in the movie his findings were a exchange tool for his freedom. Which is regrettable.
Could you please comment on what sort of usefulness was there for the shiro’s findings and if these findings had any positivity for himanity.
I believe scientists were able to learn about the human body's response to extreme cold and various pathogens. I have no idea how useful the information actually proved to be, but it's hard to conceive that it could ever have been worth the price.
@@PhilipThompsonit was tons of extremely unfortunately very useful information, it led to alot better medical information
Biological weapons, mate. Himanity doesn’t stand a chance.
You seem to have gotten your dates scrambled.
How so?
This guy’s accent is so *THICK* that I could’ve sweared it asked me to pay taxes to the _British Empire_ and also buy opium from its navy.
🤣... Although... My accent is South African.
I can’t even listen to this. To relay this information in a normal tone is questionable.
Unit731 is 関東軍防疫給水部本部
Based in Manchuria, it was primarily responsible for preventing infectious diseases among soldiers and researching sanitary water supply systems for that purpose, as well as researching and developing biological weapons for use in bacteriological warfare.
I'm japanese.
Listening to this story was traumatic. However.
When I was a child, I listened to this story and became interested in it.
I don't understand why the Allies allowed them to be demonic.
Among the studies they were about inhabitants contaminated by parasites, strange cultures, the influence of cannibal culture, and rituals against the dead.
Mountain tribes eat corpses. The peoples of the plains buried the bodies with birds. The desert people buried the bodies. The chaos of multi-tribal cultures. The study of endemic diseases that arise thereby. Human experiments on infected people. Understanding what happens with an infection.
Koreans, Chinese, Mongols, Americans, Russians, men, women, old people, children,It was used as material for human experiments.
But we have to doubt whether this is true.
There was a time when I lied about being in a children's unit because I wanted to be in the limelight.
People who could benefit from radical claims began to make noise, and groups appeared that tried to receive financial support by spreading rumors.
What can be examined as facts is GHQ America in Japan and North Korea and China in the area.
I want to find the real victims.
Sadly, when the bones that were considered victims were examined, the bones of cows, horses, dogs, cats, and bones of people of different eras were found, and it was not going well.
I don't want this to happen again.

My friend, it is undeniable that the events described in this video actually happened. The sort of conspiracy theory denialism you promote in your comment is simply an offence to the victims and their families.
Your defense of the indefensible is ludicrous. Japan’s reputation will forever be stained by its many acts of barbarism during WW2.
It would be wise and noble of Japan to address its horrific legacy in a manner similar to how Germany confronted its role during WW2. To this day Japan has continued to obfuscate and lie about its war crimes much like Turkey’s continued denialism of its genocide of Armenians during the early 20th century. The truth is awkward and unavoidable. It’s hoped that Japan will confront its many ghosts and be able to stand one day among other nations with dignity and honor. Until that day an honest self examination must take place.
The very reason the US used the Atom Bomb to force surrender of Imperial Japan was "Operation Cherry Blossoms At Night".
The US Office of Strategic Services had broken the Japanese Navy's codes and new that an I-400 Carrier Submarine was headed to the West Coast of the United States so that three single engine fighter bombers could embark on a suicide missions to deliver bombs that contained coils of metal full of fleas infected with Weaponized Bubonic Plague. The submarine was to surface and quickly launch these float planes without their floats, one for San Diego, and one for San Fransisco and one for Portland if possible...
Had "Operation Cherry Blossoms At Night" been carried out, Weaponized Bubonic Plague would have killed between a quarter of the population of the West Coast of the US and a quarter of the World Population. As a Weaponized Disease, the time before showing symptoms was maximized as was the likelihood of transmission, which was the reason for years of experimentation on human subjects. So in all likelihood this would have become the most deadly plague in human history...
The world response to Imperial Japan starting a Plague to prevent it from having to surrender would have been Japan being given no option to surrender. As this response would have been to insure that Japan & the Japanese people would only exist in history books. I say this knowing that my lovely niece and nephew would never have existed as my Japanese brother in law would have never existed. And of course, you would not have the opportunity to deny history as your Japanese parents would have never existed...

I wish that instead of Hiroshima and Nagasaki being bombed, that Tokyo Imperial Palace and Unit 731 been the targets instead. The former, for obvious reasons and the later, to kill everything at Unit 731. Had Unit 731 been incinerated, and the Chinese Communists and Chinese Nationalists been instructed to create an exclusion zone ringed with thorn trees, then Millions of people would have been saved. As the epidemics that plagued the Peoples Republic of China during the rebuilding period would have been limited to those caused by bad sanitation...
Dude, just about every nation have done some gruesome shit to people but Japan is the worst when it come to owning up to it.
