I can tell you who the men were in the picture you posted in #124. It is a picture of men whose B-29 was shot down over Japan. A number of them were surgically experimented on.


The fate of these men:

Watkins (pilot) -- Taken to Tokyo, interrogated, and interned at Omori POW Camp. Released at end of war. Died in 1989? in Virginia.
Fredericks (co-pilot) -- Died during vivisection experiment
Shingledecker (bombardier) -- Place & means of death unknown
Kearns (navigator) -- Died in vicinity of crash site
Plambeck (radar navigator) -- Died during vivisection experiment
Johnson (left gunner) -- Died in vicinity of crash site
Ponczka (engineer) -- Died during vivisection experiment
Williams (radio operator) -- Died during vivisection experiment
Czarnecki (tail gunner) -- Died during vivisection experiment
Oeinck (right gunner) -- Died in vicinity of crash site
Colehower (nose gunner) -- Died during vivisection experiment

You'll get no argument out of me that the men of Unit 741 were criminals and deserved to hang.

If I had the time though, I would post the names of the nearly 125,000 old men, women and children who died in March of 1945 due to the Tokyo fire bombing perpetrated by the USAAF. War crime, pure and simple, yet no one was held accountable.
