Tragic Twisted & True
The War Crimes you didn’t learn about
Disclaimer: Unit 731 is one of the most evil things to have ever existed. This will detail their horrific crimes. They included human experimentation, rape, forced pregnancy, vivisection, and germ warfare. What will be described below is incredibly triggering. Please consider whether your mental health can withstand these horrors.
During its decade (1931–1946) of operation Unit 731 and its cohorts would likely violated every tenet of the Hague and Geneva Conventions of 1899 & 1907. The total number of victims can only be estimated but it is believed to range from 3,000 to 300,000 by the end of the war, including American POWs.
The compounds engaged in every Hauge Convention violation the Nazis did. Violating Section II of the Convention and then some.
The Japanese military would test weapons, poisons, diseases and caused extreme injury to their prisoners. They spared no thought for civilian vs military; male vs female; adult vs child.
