The Most Horrific Unit of
World War II
Officially known as The Epidemic Prevention and
Water Purification Department of the Kwantung
Army in Manchuria.
Realizing that they would be behind the west in
technology for weapons, particularly in the nuclear
field, the Japanese turned to experimenting on
humans to discover biological and chemical
weapons to tip the balance of the war in their favor.
Unit 731
of the Imperial Japanese
Army.
It was located in Harbin, in Manchuria. Outside of
mainland China and where a steady supply of
Chinese prisoners could be experimented on.
It is estimated that 250,000 people (men,
women and children) perished in Unit 731’s
experiments.
Most were Chinese, Korean and Mongolians.
There were also a handful of Allied
(Australian, British and American) POWs sent
there, in order to make sure various diseases
worked the same on Caucasians.
Biological warfare is the use of infectious agents or
toxins to incapacitate or kill humans, plants or
animals.
As long as there has been warfare, humans have
used biological warfare in various forms.
The problem with biological weapons has
always been that they are indiscriminate. They
kill the side employing them as much as the
side they are used against.
The Japanese were working on ways to target
certain ethnic groups.
Biological Warfare
While the primary purpose mission of Unit 731
was to develop biological weapons, the Unit
also conducted other experiments such as:
•Frostbite
•Vivisection without anesthesia
•Effects of shrapnel on exposed victims tied to
stakes in a field
Testing Conducted
•Brain surgery to see which parts of the brain
controlled various motor functions
•Effect of syphilis (looking for treatment for
soldiers)
•Amputation to study blood loss rates
•Female prisoners were raped in order to
impregnate them in order to study the
transmission of various diseases to the fetus.
Testing Conducted
If a sick medical mind could think of it; it was
tested at Unit 731.
Be warned.
Graphic images follow.
Victims were referred to as
Meruta. (Logs)
The unit was under the command of General Shiro
Ishii
He was never prosecuted.
Unit 731
In fact, at the end of the war, the United States did
not prosecute a single member of Unit 731.
Instead, we took the records of the experiments.
Much as we took the Nazi scientists in Operation
Paperclip.
(Slideshere on Paperclip)
As recently as 2003, the Japanese government still
refuses to acknowledge what really went on in Unit
731.
What is on the horizon, and probably already being
developed in secret, are genetic weapons, which
are targeted toward specific ethnicities and/or
genotypes.
The implications of such weapons are staggering.
Genetic Weapons
I have written about Unit 731 in several
books, partly in an attempt to publicize this
blight in history.
