I think what surprised me as I learned more about Unit 731 is that the Japanese also experimented on Russians...and that the experiments lasted until 1950!!

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1940, #Japan carried out a biological weapons attack on #Ningbo, #Zhejiang, China. The #Kaimingjie germ weapon attack involved agents of #Unit731 air-dropping grain filled with #BubonicPlague fleas on Kaiming Street. At least 100 died, likely much more.

It has been 80 years, but Hideo Shimizu still remembers the 4½ months he spent with Unit 731, the biological and chemical warfare unit of the now-defunct Imperial Japanese Army, like they were yesterday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/13/japan/history/japan-wwii-unit-731/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #history #wwii #imperialjapanesearmy #biologicalweapons #unit731
The National Archives of Japan has disclosed to researchers the names of members of biological warfare units that the former Imperial Japanese Army had stationed in China. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/05/21/japan/731-member-list/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #china #imperialjapanesearmy #wwii #biologicalweapons #unit731

This is the most comprehensive & digestible video I've seen on #Unit731 & #japanese #warcrimes .
Don't recommend eating while watching.

The former site of Unit 731, a notorious Japanese germ-warfare centre that operated in the 1930s and 1940s, in Harbin, north-east China. Hideo Shimizu, who worked at the unit, has arrived in the city to testify and expose the crimes committed there during the Japanese invasion.

Oh, and regarding #Unit731. I bear no ill will towards the Japanese people for these atrocities, but I do have a problem with America covering it all up in exchange for all their “research”…almost all of which turned out to be less than useless because starving, medically tortured civilians make terrible test subjects. But, for the little that was of use, I hope it was fucking worth it. Over half a million people died in the most horrifying ways for your ruthless greed and amorality.
I think #China and #Russia are both a bit obsessed with #FortDetrick (and understandably so) because that's where Shiro Ishii from #Unit731 in ended up? https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202107/23/WS60fa70c6a310efa1bd663fd0.html
Russia haven't used Fort Detrick in recent stories (as far as i know?) but it was prominent in their #HIV #disinformation campaign #OperationDenver aka #OperationInfektion (the latter is a misnomer, probably from #mistranslation or misinterpretation of #DDR sources)
Seiichi Morimura, who wrote a searing expose of the Japanese army’s secret biological warfare program in occupied China, died July 24 in Tokyo. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/08/04/japan/seiichi-morimura-obituary/?utm_content=bufferb2b3e&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #japan #warcrimes #seiichimorimura #chemicalweapons #unit731
