Seeing as how the USSR declared war on Japan between the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, just days before the capitulation of Japan, how did Japan ever manage to collect a significant number of Soviet POWs?
Regards,
The Russians and Japanese had been in conflict on and off directly and by proxy since early 1900s. In the 1930s when the Japanese were heading West through China toward the Soviet border, it came to a head but both empires were distracted on other fronts for a full commitment of resources.
Battle of Lake Khasan took it to WW2 levels before a formal declaration of war.
Yes, I am aware of that - but it still bothers me when reference is made to "Soviet POWs in Japanese hands" without any further explication.
These Soviet prisoners were not POWs in the "classic" sense of the word. They were military personnel engaged in skirmishes, border incursions, undeclared conflicts, and the like who were kidnapped or otherwise fell into enemy hands and were interned, but who were probably never properly recognized as legitimate POWs under the rules of war.

Believe it or not ππ©π¦ ππ¦π― ππ¦π©πͺπ―π₯ π΅π©π¦ ππΆπ― is/was available (uncensored) on Youtube as is/was one of its sequels ππ’π³πΆπ΅π’ 2: ππ’π£π°π³π’π΅π°π³πΊ ππ§ π΅π©π¦ ππ¦π·πͺπ. Both films are extremely graphic, and some of the footage gruesome parts of the first film were used for the sequel. No movie has ever made me physically ill by merely thinking of it, but these two did the job.
One of the unit’s labs was in Northeast China. Not saying that their experiments left some effects in say a mystery cave of bats that made it’s way to Wuhan labs but it wouldn’t surprise me.
“Fleas were carefully collected, infected with plague and then dropped in aerial bombs over Chinese cities and villages.”
They had planned to do it here in southern California.

Thereβs been wicked, evil people throughout history. Who are the wicked, evil people now? Cuomo and Fauci are among them.
Japan is now one of the best countries in the world to live in. No Second Amendment and no need for it, for 2 reasons: (1) No crime to speak of; (2) The government there doesn’t believe genocide is how you deal with political opponents.
Having said that, what they did in and prior to WW2 was horrific, and this is only one of many things. Those people are now out of power and nearly all dead, but Japan needs to keep in mind that China (and other countries) have very long memories, and if Japan cannot take care of themselves in a military sense, they may well find themselves at the receiving end of some Chinese ‘payback’.
Weβre supposed to forever feel guilt for nuking them and putting some
in internment facilities- not me.
Is that the one where they put one of the subjects in a pressure chamber and his eyes and intestines popped out?
If it is, I actually rented that one while IN Japan.
I was shocked they would have it since they still, to this day, deny it ever happened.
I read that they put people in glass tanks and then filled it with water so they could see how a person acted when they were drowning.
The Japanese deserved the two bombs dropped on them and more.

The timing of this "historical" article seems suspicious. Published in December 2020 - with its intro cleverly written to tie in and mention the Covid epidemic - it seems designed to gain sympathy for the existing Chi-Com government. I'm not falling for it.
As an individualist, I know millions of people in any country are never in "lock step" with the inhumane actions of their current leadership/rulers... The U.S. under Socialist Democrats in the White House, is a case in point.
So, I do extend sympathy, and feel anger for, those who suffered at this "Unit 731."
However - I do NOT feel any sympathy for the government officials who organized these crimes NOR any concern for today's Chi-Com rulers who continue to oppress THEIR OWN PEOPLE & are attempting to EXPAND their repressive system to surrounding territories / nations. I'm sure many Chinese today wish to escape the tyranny they suffer -- and many Japanese citizens were and are today repulsed by the idea of a camp 731.
BTTT.
