It was the Soviet Union that conducted human experimentation. The Soviet Union has a long history of human experimentation with chemical and bacteriological warfare agents. Prof. Klimoshinski used human beings as experimental subjects in 1941 in Ulan Bator, Mongolia using anthrax, pest and glanders. Human subjects were political prisoners and Japanese POWs in some cases. In the summer of 1941 the escape of one of the experimental subjects started a Bubonic plague epidemic among the Mongols. In an effort to stop the epidemic from spreading further, 3000 to 5000 Mongols were slaughtered. It is known that there were numerous BW proving grounds located throughout Urals and in Mongolia, mostly close in proximity to political prisoner camps so as to furnish human experimental subjects.
There are no authentic photographs of human experimentation by Unit 731 because Unit 731 was a corps for epidemic prevention and water purification.
Most of the pictures cited as evidence of human experimentation by Unit 731 are :
Photos of pathological autopsies of victims of the Great Pneumonia Plague in China in 1910-1911.
Photos of autopsies of Japanese victims killed by Chinese troops in the Jinan Incident 1928.
Re-photography of plague prevention campaign in Nong'an County, Jilin province in November, 1940.
Unit 731 was a research organization whose primary task was to counter Soviet and Chinese chemical and bacteriological warfare against Japanese forces. Unit 731 was initially founded to secure basic hygiene for the Japanese troops in abysmal sanitary conditions in China and Russia in the 1930's & 40's. China used highly toxic cholera germs and phosgene chemical agent against the Japanese troops in the second Shanghai incident in 1937. The Soviet used chemical and biological weapons during the Nomonhan incident in 1939.
During the war, the U.S. was wary of Japanese use of germ weapons until the end of the war. Therefore, the US conducted a postwar investigation of the Mukden detention facility to see if there was any evidence of human experiments on Allied prisoners of war. At the same time, the US Naval Research Laboratory examined the actual baloon bombs recovered from Japan at the end of the war to see if they could be used for germ warfare, and concluded that "since they were not equipped with germ dispersal devices, they were not intended for germ warfare for the time being.
Still amazes me there are people who think we shouldn’t have dropped the bombs.
