Archaeologists have discovered an underground bunker in northeast China where Japanese scientists performed horrific biological experiments on human subjects during World War II, including subjecting their victims to dehydration, frostbite, and anthrax bombs.
The New York Post reported on Thursday that the derelict bunker was unearthed near the city of Anda in Heilongjiang province. Although the facility had been known about for nearly eight decades, its existence and precise location wasn't confirmed until a week ago, according to the South China Morning Post.
A partially U-shaped structure that measures roughly 108 feet long by 67 feet wide, the covert "horror bunker" was comprised of interconnected rooms and tunnels, including what archaeologists believed to be laboratories, observation and dissection rooms, and holding cells for human test subjects.

I suspect the Great Kantō earthquake of 1923 likely played a roll, too.

I don’t remember seeing vivisections without anesthesia in your list of adverse reactions. That’s why it’s absurd.
The way big pharma products are working it looks like it’s still going on.
Fine print on box a lawyer loophole.

John Rabe was the liaison between Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany.
He was so appalled by what he saw during the Rape of Nanking he wrote a personal letter to Adolf Hitler appealing for clemency on humanitarian grounds.
He got arrested by the Gestapo for his trouble..
Not as bad as Stalin's and not even approaching Mao's but very much up there.
Gee I can not imagine why.....
When you read about how the Japanese treated their "fellow Asians" the Western colonial powers look down right benign.
for the second time around I am listening to the Audio Book renditions of the Ian Toll trilogy of the Pacfic war. It is a depth of informaion from all sides.
While the official policy was Europe first, and there was constanct friction between us and the British regarding actions in the Pacific—the US definitely hated the Japanese. Was it racial? Maybe a small part, but mostly because IMO of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. It did not take much to cast the Japanese rulers and people of that time as horrendous monsters. Of course during war, all enemies have to be cast as evil, etc...to generate motivation to kill—on a massive scale.
I highly recommend Toll’s trilogy. The biops of all the Admirals, Generals, and other offices on both sides is fascinating.
Watched a documentary the other day about Victor Sorge, the master Soviet spy who was eventually executed by the Japanese, but he was the one who warned Stalin that the Nazis were about to attack the Soviet Union.
“...mostly because IMO of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor... Of course during war, all enemies have to be cast as evil”
But it’s funny, I don’t think the Italians were ever thought of evil. Mussolini was certainly mocked but I don’t think even he was hated.
What is amazing to me is how terrible of enemies we were, both Germany and Japan are good allies now. I’m sure that along with all of the books and theories on “What caused WWII?” there must be books and theories on “What caused peace?”
I would like to think that it was both a good whooping by us during the war and help after the war to guide and help their countries in the right direction. MacArthur was loved by the Japanese but I’m not entirely sure why. Perhaps most of the citizens (of both Germany and Japan) didn’t like what their leaders were doing and the death and destruction those leaders brought to their country and families.
I’m glad that we made the commitment to “keep the peace” after WWII. That must have been difficult to keep pouring money and help into those countries after we had spent so much money and lives fighting the war.

I helped on a project in Taiwan years ago. I knew enough about “face” to be careful in discussing how the local consultant (a Professor at the University) didn’t have a clue to what he was doing.
