I witnessed unimaginable horrors in Japan's WW2 human experiment unit... I had to speak out for the sake of my children: Vet, 93, describes jars full of human bodies at notorious Unit 731 where POWs were dissected ALIVE and infected with plague

Sworn to secrecy by the Japanese Imperial Army, Hideo Shimizu carried the horrors he saw at the notorious Unit 731 facility with him for more than 70 years.

The 93-year-old was just 14 when he was drafted as a cadet to the city of Harbin, in what was then Japanese-occupied Manchuria, during World WaR 2.

There, he was groomed to take part in some of history's worst atrocities - human experiments carried out on prisoners of war including pregnant women and small children.

More than 3,000 people - mostly Chinese civilians, but also Russian, British and American POWs - were dissected alive, infected with bubonic plague and used as human guinea-pigs for frost-bite treatments in nightmarish torture laboratories.

Decades on, innocent pictures of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren reminded Shimizu of the faces of the many victims he came across in the slaughterhouse.

Decades later family members of those in Hiroshima and nagasaki when the bombs dropped sued the Jap government for pursuing the war and not giving them the complete truth

At least at end of the war in 1945 a crew of 9 from a B-29 shot down was taken captive and experimented on, none survived. Also a number of Bataan POWs were experimented on as well, unsure of that number but none survived. By some accounts a number of American POWs were preserved till days before War’s end and were destroyed as the Russians were closing in on the camp.

Sure sure. No way.

The Japanese and Chinese have hated each other for centuries.

Not the visceral hate engendered by the Japanese atrocities of WWII - a whole different level.

Don’t forget, the kid was just 14 when he was ‘recruited’.

“Japanese were experimenting to unleash the plague on us.”

Japan and Germany committed atrocities in WWII, as did the US government. The US government has often secretly experimented on its own citizens and is likely still doing so.

The jury is still out on whether it was the Chinese government or US government that released the Covid-19 plague on the population of the world in 2019-2020. The jury is not out on the US government employing its heavy hand to censor unfavorable information about the Covid vaccines, the origin of Covid, and to compel US citizens to take experimental vaccines agains their will.

From 1946 to 1992, the U.S. government conducted more than 1,000 open air nuclear tests, during which unwitting troops were exposed to vast amounts of ionizing radiation. Some were only 1-2 miles from ground zero. For protection, they wore utility jackets, helmets, and gas masks. They were told to cover their face with their arms. My uncle was one of those young men and he died a horrendous death from cancer.

The Tuskegee syphilis experiments on African American men are another sordid episode of government officials using citizens for experimentation.

The US government secretly conducted many experiments on prisoners and mental patients in the 1940’s. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/ugly-past-u-s-human-experiments-uncovered-flna1C9465329

Tens of thousands of US troops in the 1970’s were the victims of chemical and biological testing. https://www.npr.org/2015/09/05/437555125/veterans-used-in-secret-experiments-sue-military-for-answers

During WWII the US government conducted mustard gas experiments on 60,000 US enlisted troops — https://www.npr.org/2015/06/22/415194765/u-s-troops-tested-by-race-in-secret-world-war-ii-chemical-experiments

In the 1950 Sea Spray operation the US Navy secretly conducted a biological warfare experiment spraying bacteria over the San Francisco Bay region. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Sea-Spray

Beginning in the 1940’s the US government secretly, and without the knowledge of the subjects, conducted radiation experiments on its citizens. https://allthatsinteresting.com/human-radiation-experiments-united-states-government/2

From the 1950’s to the 1970’s the CIA secretly conducted MKUltra a secret “mind control” project on US citizens, without their consent or knowledge. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/what-we-know-about-cias-midcentury-mind-control-project-180962836/

From the 1950’s to the 1980’s over 2 million US Marines, dependents and civilian workers were victims of poisoning from hazardous chemicals in the water at Camp Lejeune, NC. Investigations have shown military leaders and DOD officials were aware of the contaminated water and did nothing for decades to correct the situation. The stonewalling of the US Government with respect to providing VA treatment for cancer and other conditions is deplorable.

Thirty years after the fact the US government continues to “study” anthrax vaccine injuries of US Gulf War veterans. Although the government has stopped forcing anthrax vaccinations on troops, it still claims there is “insufficient evidence” of an association between the anthrax vaccines and long term health effects. This the same tactic used by DOD for decades with respect to the Camp Lejeune situation.

Today we know the government funds “gain of function research” at public universities. Even more scary is the bioweapons research conducted in secret at government bioweapons labs around the globe.

We can certainly condemn foreign governments for atrocities in war. We should also condemn and demand a halt to the atrocities our own government has perpetrated on its own citizens.

That’s the truth.

[Moleman]

The Japanese (many) disgust me. Their whole “kind” thing is a facade, complete bullshit. racists

[Brellium]

I’ve said that the things that ISIS does would surprise the members of Unit 731, only on the basis they did not think of it first.

[Zhang Fei]

[Yup,the Japanese were about as bad as...and maybe even a bit worse than...the Germans during the 1930s/1940s. They focused on the people of East Asia,Southeast Asia and,IIRC,allied POWs as well.]

It was a different philosophy from the Germans. The Japanese wanted to conquer the world and rule it from Tokyo. The Germans wanted to kill the world and repopulate it with Germans, or people who could pass for German.

That difference is why numerous postwar Asian leaders had prior experience working for the Japanese occupation authorities in responsible positions. The major names are Korea’s Park Chung-hee, Taiwan’s Lee Teng-hui, Indonesia’s Sukarno and Suharto, Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew and Burma’s Aung San and Ne Win.

The Japanese attitude towards the conquered was fairly simple. Brutal collective reprisals were mounted against populations in regions that were perceived as harboring guerrillas or enemy troops. For instance, after the Doolittle mission that inflicted 50 dead in Tokyo, Chinese sources claim Japanese forces killed 250K people in areas of China where Doolittle’s men ditched their aircraft and were spirited out of China.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doolittle_Raid#Zhejiang-Jiangxi_campaign

But those who went about their lives as before, prior to Japanese rule, were left alone. Exemplary atrocities were mounted against trouble spots to discourage flare-ups in guerrilla attacks, but areas that complied were spared.

That’s a very different policy from Germany’s, which killed or tried to work to death every Jew it came across. Germany’s long-term plan was to rid the world of people who could not pass for German, and many that did pass for German.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_Plan

Japan wanted to rule the world whereas Germany wanted to kill it. Japan sought obedient subjects. Germany sought a world unpopulated by subhuman races - for Germans, the taint was in the blood. That’s the principal reason Germany’s actions are reviled to an extent Japan’s are not.

Back in the 60s, one of my brothers had a school friend whose father was a Bataan Death March survivor. According to my brother, the man would talk a little about WWII, but never about that.

It is from the Japanese that we learned that the body is 70% water.

They took a live person and steamed him until they could drain no more water from him.

[StAnDeliver]

"This is why, If we have a WW III Japan will stay neutral and not support the west, and risk nukes upon their cities. No, just as America fears too many battlefield deaths, Japan fears a nuke attack. Putin’s treaty with Kim, locks Japan from helping America in any coming war. The Japanese navy will only be used for anti-pirate duties and homeland defense. One less headache for Russia/China/Iran/ North Korea Axis."

Anpo is the mutual defense treaty between the US and Japan. 50,000 USF-J forces will launch counter-offensives from Japan against the PLA invasion of Taiwan, with Japanese 'advisors' on board as Anpo 'insurance'.

In the first 10 minutes of WWIII (you got that much right), the skies over Okinawa will be filled with US Heavys leaving Kadena to carpet bomb the Chinese coast from Xiamen to Quanzhou to Fuzhou.

Japan is in like flynn, and yeah, they and Seoul will have to take the hit from whatever Yung Fat can get off his mobiles until he is fireballed by a bunker-busting nuke.

My uncle was captured at Corregidor and eventually wound up a POW at a camp close to Unit 731. Of course, they didn’t know who their neighbor was at the time.

[Article10]

Read the book, The rape of Nanking.. social darwinism.. public schools.. etc

Very good explanination of why the things happened in Germany and Japan.. The Klan and planned parenthood here.. etc

[4yearlurker]

My late uncle and father in law were both in the Pacific Theater during WW2. They both also told me that they took no Japanese prisoners. They killed them all. My Uncle hank told me he saw American soldiers hanging up side down gutted like cattle.
