Unit 731 was a covert biological and chemical warfare research and development unit of the Imperial Japanese Army that undertook lethal human experimentation during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945) and World War II. It was responsible for some of the most notorious war crimes carried out by Japanese personnel.
Unit 731 was the code name (ts?sh?g?), of an Imperial Japanese Army unit officially known as the Kempeitai Political Department and Epidemic Prevention Research Laboratory. It was initially set up under the Kempeitai military police of the Empire of Japan to develop weapons of mass destruction for potential use against Chinese, and possibly Soviet forces.
Vivisection
* Prisoners of war were subjected to vivisection without anesthesia.[13][11]
* Vivisections were performed on prisoners after infecting them with various diseases. Scientists performed invasive surgery on prisoners, removing organs to study the effects of disease on the human body. These were conducted while the patients were alive because it was feared that the decomposition process would affect the results.[14][11] The infected and vivisected prisoners included men, women, children, and infants.[15]
* Vivisections were also performed on pregnant women, sometimes impregnated by doctors, and the fetus removed.[16]
* Prisoners had limbs amputated in order to study blood loss.[11]
* Those limbs that were removed were sometimes re-attached to the opposite sides of the body.[11]
* Some prisoners' limbs were frozen and amputated, while others had limbs frozen then thawed to study the effects of the resultant untreated gangrene and rotting.
* Some prisoners had their stomachs surgically removed and the esophagus reattached to the intestines.[11]
* Parts of the brain, lungs, liver, etc. were removed from some prisoners.[17][13][11]
In 2007, Doctor Ken Yuasa testified to the Japan Times that, "I was afraid during my first vivisection, but the second time around, it was much easier. By the third time, I was willing to do it." He believes at least 1,000 persons, including surgeons, were involved in vivisections over mainland China.[18]
[edit] Weapons testing
* Human targets were used to test grenades positioned at various distances and in different positions.[11]
* Flame throwers were tested on humans.[11]
* Humans were tied to stakes and used as targets to test germ-releasing bombs, chemical weapons and explosive bombs.[11]
Germ warfare attacks
* Prisoners were injected with inoculations of disease, disguised as vaccinations, to study their effects.[11]
* To study the effects of untreated venereal diseases, male and female prisoners were deliberately infected with syphilis and gonorrhea, then studied[11].
* Prisoners were infested with fleas in order to acquire large quantities of disease-carrying fleas for the purposes of studying the viability of germ warfare[citation needed].
* Plague fleas, infected clothing, and infected supplies encased in bombs were dropped on various targets. The resulting cholera, anthrax, and plague were estimated to have killed around 400,000 Chinese civilians.[11]
* Tularemia was tested on Chinese civilians.[19]
* Unit 731 and its affiliated units (Unit 1644, Unit 100, et cetera) were actively involved not only in research and development, but also in experimental deployment of epidemic-creating biowarfare weapons in assaults against the Chinese populace (both civilian and military) throughout World War II. Plague-infested fleas, bred in the laboratories of Unit 731 and Unit 1644, were spread by low-flying airplanes upon Chinese cities, coastal Ningbo in 1940, and Changde, Hunan Province, in 1941. This military aerial spraying killed thousands of people with bubonic plague epidemics.[20]
Other experiments
Prisoners were subjected to other experiments such as:
* being hung upside down to see how long it would take for them to choke to death.[11]
* having air injected into their arteries to determine the time until the onset of embolism.[11]
* having horse urine injected into their kidneys.[11]
* being deprived of food and water to determine the length of time until death.
* being placed into high-pressure chambers until death.
* being exposed to extreme temperatures and developing frostbite to determine how long humans could survive with such an affliction, and to determine the effects of rotting and gangrene on human flesh.[11]
* having experiments performed upon prisoners to determine the relationship between temperature, burns, and human survival.
* being placed into centrifuges and spun until dead.
* having animal blood injected and the effects studied.
* being exposed to lethal doses of x-ray radiation.
* having various chemical weapons tested on prisoners inside gas chambers.
* being injected with sea water to determine if it could be a substitute for saline.
* being buried alive. (Victims included infants.)
Biological warfare
Japanese scientists performed tests on prisoners with plague, cholera, smallpox, botulism and other diseases.[21] This research led to the development of the defoliation bacilli bomb and the flea bomb used to spread the bubonic plague.[22] Some of these bombs were designed with ceramic (porcelain) shells, an idea proposed by Ishii in 1938.
These bombs enabled Japanese soldiers to launch biological attacks, infecting agriculture, reservoirs, wells, and other areas with anthrax, plague-carrier fleas, typhoid, dysentery, cholera, and other deadly pathogens. During biological bomb experiments, scientists dressed in protective suits would examine the dying victims. Infected food supplies and clothing were dropped by airplane into areas of China not occupied by Japanese forces. In addition, poisoned food and candies were given out to unsuspecting victims and children, and the results examined.

Haha holy shit, this is new to me.

Havent these studies saved alot of people though? ;D
kinda lika the great Adolf
"* Flame throwers were tested on humans.[11]"
daaaamn, they should have taped it

Haha holy shit, this is new to me.
Oh really? I have known this since I was 12years old around.
When people says "Wow Nachis are the worst!!", I always said "Haha, wait and study what Japanese did to chinese..".
If you study history, lots of these kind of things coming out from every countries.
Only ignore people get stunned at these things. It has passed when i was 12yrs old though.
Thats why patriotism is stupid. NOBODY but NOBODY are innocent.

I've heard of the japanese being brutal but had no idea it was this bad.
EDIT: Stalin was even worse than Hitler.

True. Why, though, does Japan continue to not publicly acknowledge these things, or in textbooks. :-\

Nachos are the worstest...

the most hypocratical of everything is that mass murderers like stalin and mao are still openly being worshipped without anyone blinking an eye but when some nazis do it with hitler its unacceptable ,punishable.

As you said,Stalin was formidable about it too.

Yes, a lot to be ashamed of there, too. Thank goodness for those that positively contribute to this life. I'm still waiting to meet Haruki Murakami, among others. He's very elusive. ;D
/let me know if you ever travel over here. i have a book for you.

I am extremely happy for hearing a young man saying this.
If every young men are like you, there will be no war in the future. ;)

Yes, I'm in Canada. I went to see Yoshihiro Tatsumi months back and picked up a few extra signed copies of his masterpiece 'A Drifting Life.' Very nice man. Spoke no English. Now quite old. Genius and goodness should always be acknowledged. Anyway, I have a copy for you.

I've been in prison for my believes (serious). ;D I refused to serve the last couple of weeks of compulsory service for men. It's sexist and it teaches men that all we are good for is being cannon fodder.

Wow! The guy was a pionner of one style of manga.
And the theme of his book is really good.

Yup. I'm not really a manga fan, but he is a legend, so I had to see him. Copy is on my shelf with your name on it. Send me a PM if you ever come over and I'll ship it to you.
/he was referred to as a 'mangaka' (i think)
