A report authored by unknown researcher in the Kamo Unit (Unit 731) describes a large human experiment of yperite gas (mustard gas) on 7–10 September 1940. Twenty subjects were divided into three groups and placed in combat emplacements, trenches , gazebos, and observatories.
Between 1936 and 1945, Unit 731 conducted torturous "experiments" on some 3,000 prisoners inside a secret facility in the northeastern Chinese district of Harbin. The gruesome story of Unit 731 and some of the most disturbing doctors in human history.
But the Unit was not only infamous for its vivisections. Some prisoners sent to Unit 731 were taken outside and tied to stakes. The Japanese would then test new biological weapons such as plague cultures or bombs filled with plague-infested fleas on them.
During World War II, deep in the occupied lands of Manchukuo, Japan operated a covert program known as Unit 731. A secretive compound became a horrifying epicenter for experiments on thousands of men, women, and children from China, Korea, and other countries. They even kept meticulous records which cataloged their subjects’ suffering as if they were mere data points.
Unit 731 was extremely well funded, with state-of-the-art facilities, generously staffed with the cream of Japan’s medical community, and routinely communicated with the medical establishment back in Japan—which even provided suggestions for experiments and regularly received human samples.
Unit 731, a Japanese Imperial Army program, conducted deadly medical experiments and biological weapons testing on Chinese civilians during WWII. Thousands of prisoners were killed in cruel experiments, and perhaps hundreds of thousands more died from biological weapons testing.
Established in 1936, Unit 731 eventually comprised 3000 personnel, 150 buildings, and capacity for holding 600 prisoners at a time for experimental use. Thousands of human beings were experimented on and killed at Unit 731 alone.
From 1936 to 1942 between 3,000 and 12,000 men, women and children were subjected to unspeakable diabolical experiments, vivisected while still alive, before they were slaughtered in Unit 731. (C. Hudson, Doctors of Depravity, 2007; Nightmare in Manchuria, 2012; Unit 731)
Unit 731 is infamous for its human experimentation during its existence during World War 2. At least 3,000 men, women, and children were subjected as "marutas" or as logs to experimentations conducted by Unit 731 division at Pingfang alone.
Human experimentation took place at all of the units of the Ishii network, but it was conducted systematically by Unit 731 and Unit 1644. Of these two, there are extant reports from a US Army survey of human experimentation by Unit 731, so the general outline of its program is known.
