>>30048015whatever you do don't google unit 731, the brainchild of the Imperial Japanese Army during WW2. It was a biological and chemical warfare unit that conducted experiments on prisoners with the aim of developing deadly weapons. It's written that at it's base in China around 3000 men, women and children were tested on. Most of these we are told are chinese, but some of them were from the Allied Nations, the Soviet Union, Korea and Mongolia. The unit lasted until the end of the war in 1945 and it's written that it had ample funding from the Japanese government. But other tests were also conducted relating on what the human body could endure. That way the Japanese military might better understand what it's own soldiers could do. At unit 731 they wanted to understand just how cold someone could get and still survive, "Some human test subjects were taken outside during the harsh winter until their limbs froze off for the doctors to experiment how best to treat frostbite. The New York Times, which had testimonies from people who had seen the horrors of this unit, wrote that these people would be taken outside and guards would would throw water on them until they saw the symptoms of frostbite. Sometimes the guards would hit the arm with a stick and if they heard a wood against wood sound would know the arm was completely frozen. Vivisection, The Japanese Military also wanted to know how best to treat diseases and injuries, but we are told that to do this they would often use live prisoners to operate on. These prisoners would deliberately infected with a disease after which the doctors would open up the person without prior anesthesia. These people were called "Marutas" or "logs". Testing Pathogens, One of the major experiments of unit 731 was to test how certain pathogens, including cholera or anthrax, would affect a number of people if they were exposed to the pathogens. They didn't just do this inside the camp, but also what was called field testing. This was done by dropping the pathogens on small communities in China. They wanted to see if they could cause an outbreak of disease. The Japanese then had the idea to carry these pathogens to the United States in what were called ballon bombs. They also had the plan to drop plague carrying fleas on San Diego via kamikaze pilots. Testing weapons, The Japanese military also wanted to test the weapons that they could use on the battlefield, and this included conventional weapons as well as poison gas. To do this prisoners would be taken out to a field and tied to a stake. The soldiers would then start testing, shooting the victim and lobbing grenades at distances to measure their impact. It was also said that the soldiers would occasionally test their flamethrowers on the victims. The pressure chamber and spinning, While Japanese people who had worked in the camp later recalled how many parts of prisoners could be seen in jars all around the camp, it's not always known how these people died. Perhaps one of the worst deaths was the pressure chamber. We are told that prisoners would be placed inside a pressure chamber and the pressure would be turned up until the prisoners eyes popped and died, other prisoners would be spun to death to research the effect of centrifugal forces. Spreading syphilis, This is the testimony from a worker at Unit 731: "Infection of venereal disease by injection was abandoned, and the researchers started forcing the prisoners into sexual acts with one another, it is said if the pair refused they would be shot. At other times children were infected with the disease. Forced pregnancy, female prisoners would be impregnated by force in order to see if the disease had spread to the child. While many children were thought to have been born in the camp, none of them survived, one former soldier said: "Of course there were experiments on children. But probably their parents were spies". Prior to 2018 the only records of this unit were from testimonies and there were no records released by the Japanese government to support it's existence.
