Thanks, will check it out.
There is a scene where they freeze womens arms solid in the Manchurian winter, then shatter them with hammers, or peel the flesh to bare bones with boiling water.
That was the directors daughter and she got frostbite filming them. Those scenes are real, she was holding the arms of a cadaver and acting like they were hers.
And the scene with the human placed in a vacuum chamber... words defy.
The Russian mother and baby. About 30% were Russian civilians captured in the east.
And yes, American POWs were sent there. It was like a German death camp, only you’ll never meet anyone with the tattoo. No inmate survived. Not a single one. The goal wasn’t extermination and numbers like the krauts, it was Dr. Mengele medical and scientific torture where the human beings were nothing but lab rats, all taken to an Asian extreme.
The Japanese say they cannot apologize because the can only apologize if both sides agree on the facts. They say that since only Japanese soldiers confessions are available, they cannot apologize. Since the victims all died, they cannot come to an agreement! And they dare ask for an apology.
Oh, the reason some American POWs, and Russian civilians were sent to Unit 731?
Because they were doing “science”. You cannot be sure if your science is accurate unless you use all the human races you can get your hands on. You might only learn how the plague affects a Chinese body. They wanted to ensure their bioweapons would work on white peoples.
