      ​@@jonathanhunt9979I was "fortunate" enough to have a history teacher in high school who was passionate enough about history and the importance of learning from it to take the time to make sure to teach us about attrocities like this that more "mainstream" history sources don't tell us about.

      It makes an American wonder what other countries learn about that we don't know about. It's just as horrific to know our officials pardoned them just for data. We still could've prosecuted. Definitely could've lied for the data but our government let that man and others involved live healthy lives after.

      Recovered Gamer that's cool you studied international conflicts. Most of human history is rife with repeated mistakes but with the advent of satellite technology and advanced weapons I wonder if looking back in the past is as effective as it once was previously. It's still important of course but the way war and politics has changed so much over the last two decades it's very ominous what the future holds for us. Do you ever think about this?

      Aiko Natsumi I dont think there will ever be another conventional war between two "first world countries" because every country is so powerful and most have nuclear weapons. I just can't see a big country going to war, look like they are gonna lose, and not let out nukes. That's why most big countries have fought nothing but proxy wars since the 50's so they can pull away if they need without taking a loss. IF it happens it will be utterly devastating.

    I was about 10 years old living in Japan when a breaking documentary about Unit 731 was released to the public. It aired on NHK (the national broadcast channel in Japan like the BBC). The documentary opened with an old footage of a vivisection on a young boy. I will never be able to forget that scene. It also talked about all the different kinds of human experiments unit 731 did along with old footage and drawings of various contraptions of evil. When I was 10 years old, I wasn't really able to comprehend it on an intellectual level but understood on an instinctual level how horrible it must have been. Even when I was that young, I knew that evil existed in the world.

    • @BenjiQ575
      @BenjiQ575 Před 6 lety +25

      It is justifiable to feel that way, but it is a self-defeating attitude. Have you wondered why there has been no major wars since 1945? I don't mean proxy wars in developing nations, I mean Russia vs. England, France vs. Italy, America vs. China? It's because these massively wealthy nations are wealthy because of the people, not the resources, so invading Silicon Valley is pointless; all you get is some sandy soil and confused programmers.
      The reason the U.S. helped them rebuild their country afterwards was SOLELY for the purpose of maintaining strategic bases in the region. Japan isn't even allowed an army anymore, dude, only a Self-Defence Force. Their military is the American military. Japan is essentially a puppet state of U.S. political interests, but because their economy thrived in the post-war rebound period, they managed to create a hyper-developed nation that has a higher average living standard (discounting space) than the average American.
      The same reason America doesn't just invade North Korea. Having half a war's worth of strategic placements in the South Korean area means that America is in a good position to defend against any movements by China or Russia. We all know that America could stomp North Korea, hell, South Korea could probably stomp North Korea, but the Yanks aren't there for North Korea.
      You should study history more and try to understand, personally, why things played out the way they did. Some things are accidents, but most aren't. If it wasn't Hitler, it might have been Himmler as Fuhrer.

    I believe I first learned about Nanjing and 731 when I was in high school, bored and surfing the web. I don't think I've ever found anything worse or more chilling in the decade or more since, and I am still continuously fascinated, intrigued, and horrified by the sheer evil and malevolence.
    Like Jocko said, imagine that the woman and her baby are someone you know. But worse is, imagine that being your mom. Imagine yourself being put on the table, held down and cut open. I am the squeamish type, so getting a paper cut is already unpleasant. Going to the dentist is unpleasant, you are totally at their mercy for not hitting your gums too much with their scary looking tools... but at least the dentist is trying to help you. But now imagine that they're basically tearing you inside out, perhaps (more like most likely) with the intention of causing pain. And no one undergoing this stuff ever had experience. I'd like to think that the victims of this horror show lived a long time ago, and felt less pain than I did, or that since they grew up rough, that this experimentation stuff hut them less... but I'm totally in denial if I continued to believe that.
    This is the unsettling truth about humans - we are all extremely fragile bodies that don't self heal. Once you are frozen, stabbed, cut open, whatever it is - you aren't going to get any better. Now all you must face is death, and hope that it comes swiftly. After listening to this podcast, I am truly grateful that I was not born in a time and situation where I would have ended up being experimented on. To be conscious ever so briefly in the universe just to have so much pain brought upon you. Truly horrific.

If they knew about it, the river of tears of shame for the actions or their countrymen would never run dry. Most Japanese honestly don’t understand why the Koreans and the Chinese have such hard feelings against them.
    Interestingly, some of the ones fighting and lobbying the hardest for government reparations and for a formal recognition of responsibility by the government are certain Japanese citizens. They are still working to uncover new evidence.

    All these years, I've been familiar like everyone else with the unspeakable horrors that took place in the death camps in Europe under Nazi power. I'm almost 30 years old and first started learning about unit 731 yesterday. Just when we thought that nothing could be any worse than the Nazis, this is the worst thing I have ever heard of. This is not to minimize what the Nazis did at all; The victims of the holocaust in Europe suffered extremely brutal deaths that included being burned alive in some instances. Overall, the Nazis would still be just as bad. Although not as many people died at Unit 731, the Japanese researchers conducted various extreme, gruesome, and agonizing experiments on victims. It reminded me of those Final Destination movies if not even worse. Doing these things to animals is extremely evil. Non-humans don't ever deserve to suffer like that either.

      @@CRSaltVeins their was a lot of survivors from 731, but only a very very small amount percentage based when compared to the total amount of overall victims. My grandfather was tortured and was apart of many many diff experiments but the one that caused me and my father to be born with a major genetic disorder is from when they forced groups of people to endure increasing amounts of radiation to the point of making some of them die from accute radiation sickness!
      very quickly after the experiment, the decreased the intensity but increased the durations of exposure so instead of short rlly intense doses they went to lower doses that they received all throughout the day which lasted the majority of the rest of his imprisonment at 731 he endured insane cumulative amounts of non lethal levels of radiation, He just like almost every else who was apart of that "experiment" got cancer! I think it was only 4? Or 6months? Or so.. after the war ended when the first cancer came, but between the wars end and his death a few yrs later from cancer he ended up having like 3-4 completely diff types of cancer over the course of those yrs!
      I dont mean like one spread to somewhere else I mean like he had whole diff types of cancer happen to him, which is crazy! But during the few yrs he was alone and fighting cancer he remarried and he had 5 kids and every single one had some major genetic condition or deformities, each person being born with a diff condition never the same disease showing in diff kids or twice, and all of the genetic conditions had never ran in our family history before that, and his other 6 children who were all born before the war with his first wife.
      Whom was also was in 731 and she actually died in 731. But before he was tortured for almost 2yrs straight while living in Hell on Earth, him, his wife and kids were all perfectly healthy, after 731 his wife, 2 of his kids with her died, 1 other kid was permanently mentally disabled from some type of lobotomy type torture they performed on her. And his other kid luckily didnt get tortured too bad my grandpa always said he thinks its because he was so young and they think he was used as some type of control group in diff "experiments" so he got rlly lucky.
      My grandfather entered with his wife and 4 of his kids into 731, afterwards he left 731 with only 2 kids alive with one being permanently mentally handicapped, the other being the young son that got lucky as survivors or 731. I mentioned previously he had 6 kids but luckily his oldest kid, his first born son who was a late teenager during the outbreak of ww2 when everything kicked off and rlly started getting serious he was in china and my grandfather made him stay in China with relatives and wouldnt let him return home. So he escaped the brutality of the Japanese government, but did end up needing to join the Chinese army. My grandfather is white and was living in korea with my Korean grandmother.
      She was raped and shit by the Japanese army and then they forced her, her kids and my grandfather into 731 after the captured her small village. But theirs so much more to it, this is just the basics off the top of my head but yea.. if u have any more questions or would like to talk over the phone some about it I'd be happy to talk with you or answer any questions you have.
      But short answer is, radiation exposer fucked and mutated my grandpa's dna and genetic shit in his seamen up, so when he had kids afterwards his dna was all fucked up in his seamen so when he had kids they all had defects, my dad having one which he then pasted onto me genetically. So I have a condition and I view myself as a victim of them even being alive 80yrs later.
      Edit: I forgot to mention their is some good that came from all the bad tho, all the data collected by exposing my grandfather and other people to radiation, the knowledge was extremely valuable and important after the Nagasaki and Hiroshima happened, all the "medical" notes they took on the prisoners was read and used to help treat survivors of the nuclear Bombs, and the relatively small group of people who were apart of that "experiment" contributed knowledge that potentially saved 1ks of lives possibly even more so.

Masao Miyamoto wrote a great article about it called, "Mental Castration, the HIV Scandal, and the Japanese Bureaucracy".
