Two of the victims were young women, 18 or 19 years old. I hesitate to say it but we opened up their wombs to show the younger soldiers. They knew very little about women - it was sex education."

Sounds like a teenage slasher flick.

"Human beings used for experiments were nicknamed "maruta" or "logs" because the cover story given to the local authorities was that Unit 731 was a lumber mill. Logs were inert matter, a form of plant life"

Always the first step prior to making murder acceptable....dehumanize the group you want to kill.
Call them subhuman, a clump of cells, or vegetables, and then kill them.

Horrific, simply horrific.

"Munching rice cakes, he reminisced: "The fellow knew it was over for him, and so he didn't struggle when they led him into the room and tied him down. But when I picked up the scalpel, that's when he began screaming. I cut him open from the chest to the stomach and he screamed terribly, and his face was all twisted in agony."

Excuse my french but this guy is one sick f$@!.

There are good and valid reasons that countries who've been occupied by Japan hold such a great fear of the Japanese. Ask some old Koreans who experienced it firsthand, if there are any still alive.
