A Japanese university has opened a museum acknowledging that its staff dissected downed American airmen while they were still alive during World War Two.
The move is a striking step in a society where war crimes are still taboo and rarely discussed, although the incident has been extensively documented in books and by US officials.
A gruesome display at the newly-opened museum at Kyushu University explains how eight US POWs were taken to the centre’s medical school in Fukuoka after their plane was shot down over the skies of Japan in May 1945.

Their weapons sound pretty offensive capable to me.
So they’re building subs again?
And Apache helicopters?
I would also be very wary of their drone program. Drones can kill from far away and never endanger the operator.
Perfect for a small country like Japan.
Thanks for the info.
Need to let this sink into my brain and percolate a bit.
You have the patience of Job. I don’t. Anything that raises my blood pressure is bad for my health.
Sounds like you have a lot of heroes in your family.
Hope you’re doing OK, too. ;-)
The Japs were into balloons carrying plague fleas, so an interest in drones is not surprising.
It wouldn't surprise me if Japs were busy working on nukes to go with those subs, while the rest of the world has been lulled into stupidity with Japanese anime.
Are you kidding? I used to argue with the 40 libs in my office constantly!!
But I kind of enjoyed it, lol.
At least all you did was argue. I’d have been tossing them out the nearest windows.
