Unit 731. Horrible stuff. But mostly forgiven because of the value of the human medical experimentation results.

I've read some bizarre posts on FR over the last 18 years....

This one may take the cake...

It is accepted that the American medical and military communities benefitted from the findings of the Japanese and German experiments on live prisoners.

Morally, we never could have conducted those experiments themselves.

Example: Germans froze Russian POWs in ice water, and took meticulous notes. We used that info after the war to assess pilot survivability.

It’s amazing but in fact he is correct:

Unit 731 was evil on the scale of the Third Reich but an accident of History saved most of the men from prosecution.

Unit 731 accumulated a lot of medical data about biowarfare and at the close of World War II the growing American fear was what might happen on the Korean Peninsula:

An evil bargain was struck; the US received all of Unit 731’s biowarfare data and the Japanese culprits went almost completely free.

Many of the Unit’s top officers went on to become huge capitalists, Millionaires and in the case of one, a prime minister.
