We are in Japan, during a period from the Second Chinese-Japanese War to the World War II (1937-1945).What happened in various fields of experimentation in Manchuria, spins a circle more of those incomprehensible hells of our past, which is so difficult for us to believe and accept.
It is said that the program "Unit 731" was possibly one of the most savages of our history, one of those who characterized this dark war period that has written so many lines in our books, although, perhaps, this episode committed by the Japanese army is not so well known, hence today in Lifestyle , we want to talk to you about it.
We also need that we have preferred not to offer you in this article the most characteristic photos of Unit 731 for its cruelty and drama, but surely, by the descriptions you can already make yourself a sad idea of what should have been experienced in these scenarios of horror.
What was the purpose of Unit 731?
Human research.Unit 731 was the code name of a Japanese experimentation and development project that had a carte blanche in any aspect you could imagine.Without any limits.The Department of Research and Epidemic Prevention of the Kwantung Army, sought above all to develop new and powerful weapons of mass destruction against China, Russia and any feasible enemy to attack the unit of the country.
The work began in the decade of the 30s under the command of General Shiro Ishii, who led the so-called Togo Squad.They were a group of scientists and military who they began their experiments in a Beiyinhe prison, but after a few years of work, a radio leak ctiva forced them to develop new facilities, this time in Pingfan, camouflaged under the idea that it was a module to purify the waters of that Japanese district.
It is possible to say that at this time the political propaganda was very hard, and the works carried out by Unit 731 were within what was known as Kōdōha (Belico Party) , which was actually something very similar to the Nazi Schutzstaffel.The values of Japanese racial supremacy were promoted, hence the vast majority of people who were taken to these fields of experience had Korean, Mongol, Russian, Chinese origins, including Japanese dissidents and American or European prisoners during World War II.
Life in the Unit 731 fields
It is estimated that in these facilities nearly 200,000 people died, although according to a 2002 report, the number of victims of the Japanese Imperial Army could reach 580,000 .It is very difficult to get an idea of the great magnitude of these horrible experiments.
The complexes used to have about 150 buildings with 8 divisions of experimentation. Each one had a purpose: biological weapons production, human disease research, agent production, training, types of torture, medical support, personal training...
The truth is that it is hard for us to imagine all those scientists and medical assumptions carrying out their functions, terrible acts that went from dissection in life to study various diseases , weapons test such as grenade launches or chemical weapons, experiment with pathogens in people of any age (including children and the elderly), and inoculation of diseases such as anthrax, bubonic plague or cholera.
95% of Victims of Unit 731 were in these facilities, and the remaining 5% were people who lived in the islands of Southeast Asia and the Pacific.More innocent to those who inoculate by chance some disease to see its development in others contexts And how long is this barbarism? You may wonder, until the end of the war, it is known that Shirō Ishii, the commanding general of Unit 731, wanted to use the biological weapons in May 1944, but the attacks of the allies prevented him to be able to carry out their purposes.Later, with the Russian invasion of Manchukuo and Mengjiang in August 1945, the facilities were dismantled and the personnel evacuated.
You will not be surprised to know that after the Japan's surrender in 1945, Douglas MacArthur himself, , knowing the experiments carried out in Unit 731, decided to offer full immunity to all his doctors and scientists in exchange for offering them to the United States.UU., All the reports on the conclusions obtained on their biological weapons.Something that without a doubt is nothing strange to us.
An episode more of the horror of our history, dark chapters that we hope will not happen again.If you found this article interesting, you also know the «Monster Experiment».
