Archaeologists in China have uncovered a secret underground bunker used by Japanese scientists to conduct horrific experiments on human subjects during World War II.
The "horror bunker," discovered near the city of Anda in Heilongjiang province, northeast China, was used by the Japanese army's infamous Unit 731 during Japan's occupation of China from 1931 to 1945.
Built by the Japanese in 1941 and running until Japan's surrender at the end of World War II, the lab was Unit 731's largest research site, but its exact location was lost until now. Unit 731 began in 1931 as a Japanese-run public health unit, but it quickly expanded its research to include grotesque biological and chemical warfare experiments using Chinese, Korean, Russian and American captives as test subjects.
Up to 12,000 men, women and children were killed by Unit 731's sadistic experiments — which included the testing of grenades, bacterial bombs, flamethrowers and chemical weapons. Individuals were also exposed to dehydration, killed inside spinning centrifuges, injected with diseased animal blood, zapped with X-rays, vivisected without anesthesia and kept inside low-pressure chambers until their eyeballs burst.
Following Japan's surrender in September 1945, the U.S. covered up evidence of the gruesome experiments and secretly granted many of Unit 731's leaders immunity from prosecution for war crimes in exchange for their research. Much of this information was later taken to Fort Detrick in Maryland — the center of the U.S. Cold War biological weapons program between 1943 and 1969.
The victims were not white or European, and the deaths did not have any impact on America or Americans.
Japan had to be quickly transitioned from an enemy to an ally nation that would be a block to Russian and Chinese communist expansion and influence in the Pacific. Chasing down war criminals wasn't high on the list of things to worry about.
The data gained was useful. There is a reason German rocket scientists were snatched up by the US after the war. Look up "Operation Paperclip."
Quite gruesome. I recall that some American B29 crews shot down over Japan suffered the same fate. At least one crew who parachuted out of their bomber were captured and dissected alive in a Japanese hospital in some kind of medical experiment.
The Chinese did receive some money from the Japanese after the war.
Not only did they use them in experiments,also women were drafted as military prostitutes.
The Japanese were ruthless ,they killed many in Nanking.
It's frankly disgusting that Japan has never truly apologized for WWII. https://www.pacificatrocities.org/bl...wii-atrocities There's a reason why none of their neighbors like them, these wounds run deep and Japan hasn't done anything meaningful to amend, as they were almost always the aggressor.
Those nukes were necessary to stop the evil that had unleashed in Japanese people back then.
