The Japanese archive declassified 3,6 data from thousands of members of the Japanese Imperial Army’s infamous 731 squad, which during World War II experimented with biological and bacteriological weapons in public, mainly Chinese and Russian prisoners of war, reports Kommersant.

Japan has declassified data members of the squad 731


«History units for a long time was classified. His head, Lieutenant-General Shiro Ishii and other officers were immune from prosecution when they agreed to transfer all the achievements of the American occupation administration after the end of World War II. The unit was created in 1936 for the development of biological and bacteriological weapons. In the experiments, mainly Soviet (30%) and Chinese (70%) prisoners of war, as well as Koreans detained on suspicion of espionage, were used in the experiments, ”the article says.

The detachment's work included, among other things, “infecting experimental subjects with various diseases, conducting vivisections (dissection) of living people, and observing artificially caused (for example, frostbite) necrosis of living tissue”. During the experiments, about 3 thousand people died.

The unit officers captured by the Soviet army were sentenced by the Khabarovsk Tribunal in December 1949 to imprisonment from 2 to 25 years. Many of them were able to return to their homeland already in the middle of the 1950s.

The data was declassified due to the demands of Shiga Katsuo Nishiyama, a professor at the University of Medical Sciences, who has led a group of scientists who have demanded this for many years.

The professor said that he “believes all members of the 731 squad are collectively responsible for war crimes” and believes that if the circumstances of their activities become clear, “this will prevent the recurrence of similar crimes in the future.”

          During the experiments, about 3 thousand people died.

          Something the figure is very underestimated!
          Secret Detachment 731 was engaged in the creation of genetic weapons against the Russians and Chinese, as well as in the creation of bacteriological weapons.
          And Russian liberoids want to allow Japan to repent of their war criminals in the Kuril Islands and the Far East!

            Well, about the “genetic” one, you have bent a lot - then there were no resources to even try to do it, but inhuman “medical” experiments were carried out, as well as chemical and biological weapons. And the figure is quite reliable - the unit was very small, and the fact that over the years they tortured 3000 people very eloquently speaks of the level of their atrocities.

    At the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of 20, the tension between Russia and the Naglosaks was enormous, everyone was waiting for the war between Russia and England. As a result, we got a war with Japan, warmed up by the British and Americans ..... Now they again "dance to their tune" and build up their armed forces, again heated by the Americans. The likelihood of provocations on their part .. the people are filthy

      "Detainees and those brought to Guantanamo are subject to trial by a special military commission, and their status as an enemy (enemy combatant) (enemy combatant) is determined by a special tribunal. Both of these bodies are formed. US Department of Defense. A person recognized as an adversary may be detained indefinitely (!!!!!!).

      ZY Cuban authorities do not cash Washington checks with 1959 of the year, since Castro came to power. Both Fidel and Raul demanded that the United States return Guantanamo, but Washington refuses under the pretext that the agreement can be broken only by mutual agreement.

      Wait, it's not evening yet. People do not tend to change for the better. How many Russians, for example, were slaughtered in the Caucasus and Central Asia in the early 90s? And the bill went to hundreds of thousands. And do you really think that if the West at least almost keeps its mongrel in Ukraine and the Baltic states, then they will not build concentration camps for the Russians there?

      do not distort - many prisoners in Japanese captivity were doomed, regardless of whether they were in the detachment for experiments or not. The only question is the magnitude of the suffering he inflicted.
      And the Japanese detachment was engaged in various experiments. For example, they studied the effect of cold on soldiers and the ability of the Japanese army to operate in the cold of Siberia.
      Finally, it is worth remembering that the Japanese had teachers, they did not think much of themselves - much of what they were doing, they were explored by other nations - primarily Germans and British (as well as French, USA) and set up no less inhumane experiments.
      I heard an eyewitness account of how a Chinese woman was gutted consciously in a detachment. But what better is it than a Korean woman torn out of her family in a brothel, clogged with the boots of Japanese soldiers?
      There was a lot of cruelty in the Japanese army.

      And then the Russian-Japanese war ??? Well, at least googled ... Manchuria at 31m was occupied by Japan. Prior to this, a railway was called through its territory under the name of the CER. (I hope it tells you something?) Harbin is one of the centers of the WHITE emigration, but by agreement, Soviet citizens should have been working to service the CER.
      So, both the subjects of the Russian Empire and Soviet citizens fell into the squad.

      Samurai have always been small and in the literal and figurative sense of the word. They never loved their people, and they scorned those below them on the social ladder. Rich and luxurious fortresses and poor peasants, from whom the last piece of bread was always taken. I don’t know how they have it now, but I’m reading a book now and there in the 41st year our agent Ivanov wrote what impressed him the pre-war Tokyo.

    Creatures / in the sense of their descendants / still dare to bark about the islands. Although still in the Russian Federation, people are dying from the "labors" of this detachment, and statistics are increasing. I mean an encephalitis tick. His / aggressive encephalitis virus / was removed by these macaques, launched in the Far East, and the tick slowly but surely expands its area to the east. Already in the Orenburg region, in the summer, they record up to 15-20 cases of infection per month. Even 5 years ago there were single cases. How much more will be. I’m sure that if it hadn’t been a nonsense to infect at least one prisoner in a concentration camp, it would be more or less similar, pensions in Israel would have been fatter. And we are silent.

    "mainly on Chinese and Russian prisoners of war"

    Voooot direct Russian ???
    Something I didn’t understand what recently went like this for fashion ... Why was it Russian, then the USSR was, which means the citizens were Soviet, or did we also begin decommunization?
    What is interesting, and new Russian films emphasize that during the Soviet era we never mentioned the name of the leader and are Russian citizens, not Soviet, hello to the film "28 Panfilov", but the film is excellent.

    The policy of suppressing such crimes that under Khrushchev to this day carries the principle of impunity for crimes against humanity.
    Bendera remained unpunished, repented or min. Term and home.
    Khrushchev for a peace treaty with the Federal Republic of Germany - released all German war criminals - convicted of proven and personalized atrocities.
    Our leadership itself provokes the repetition of such events!
    This is a weak position!
    Last example:
    Attack on Syria. Russia collects the UN Security Council on this issue. Putin calls Merkel and others with a discussion of the same issue. The Russian Foreign Ministry expresses concern.
    And, attention, absolutely on the same dates in violation of the Minsk agreements - artillery shelling of the DPR - there are dead - there is destruction! And what the RF is doing about this in the UN Security Council is nothing! What Putin is doing is no warning, no calls! What the Russian Foreign Ministry does - does not express concern
    Conclusion:
    If you just logically compare these two facts, two episodes of escalation with the victims.
    And look at the reaction of Russian officials.
    It’s completely clear what the Russian leadership is closing their eyes to, thereby provoking new victims!

    If you say that these episodes of aggression are different; those. In Syria, this is an attack on a sovereign state, in Donetsk, an internal Ukrainian conflict.
    That is a clear example of Abkhazia.
    And even more clearly, that the Russian Federation in the person of the leadership does not want to contribute to ending the conflict in the Donbas.
    And here comes a clear attitude towards his allies, the people who are for you! If you can help them, but don’t do it - giving a clear signal that they can be killed with impunity - protection only in talk shows on federal channels - this is already perceived as a mockery !!!
    And what’s most important is perceived by the leadership of countries of potential allies as the absolute weakness of the Russian Federation, which can be used in one’s own interests, while it’s profitable, and if anything, that can be thrown.
    This is the position of Belarus
    And the position of Kazakhstan
    Only the behavior of the leadership of the Russian Federation is responsible for the attitude towards us, both our allies, which in fact we have dispersed all with our weak position, and our opponents, who are increasingly impudent in view of the impunity of their actions.
    The leadership of the Russian Federation goes in a very strange way, described by many in history - avoiding confrontation and constantly retreating, not defending its position by actions, but only in words - the leadership drives itself into a corner where the last argument is only tactical nuclear weapons and strategic nuclear weapons. Kings' last argument - weakness!
    And this is a fact and that World in which we all live, at least jump out of our pants with a bang of patriotism, at least hide our heads in the sand - objectively we are weak in the WTO compared to the USA and NATO, but we are weak and politically!
