Archaeologists in China have uncovered a secret underground bunker used by Japanese scientists to conduct horrific experiments on human subjects during World War II.
The "horror bunker," discovered near the city of Anda in Heilongjiang province, northeast China, was used by the Japanese army's infamous Unit 731 during Japan's occupation of China from 1931 to 1945.
Built by the Japanese in 1941 and running until Japan's surrender at the end of World War II, the lab was Unit 731's largest research site, but its exact location was lost until now. Unit 731 began in 1931 as a Japanese-run public health unit, but it quickly expanded its research to include grotesque biological and chemical warfare experiments using Chinese, Korean, Russian and American captives as test subjects.

I had heard about it and actually a museum depicting that horror stands elsewhere which depicts the site of Unit 731 which has been long ago abandoned.

Well, they were allies with Germany so it makes sense.

I rear a book written by the daughter or grand daughter of a survivor of “ The Rape of Nanking” . The Japanese were so brutal the German diplomat in Nanking made a safe zone for Chinese civilians. Seeing as how Germany and Japan were Allie’s Japan honored the zone instead of creating a diplomatic incident.

LTC David Brown When I was in Thailand I made friends with a Thai Air Force Officer. We spent a lot of time exploring WWII ruins and he told me about the atrocities his family experienced after the Japanese invaded.

Plus the Japanese were extremely vicious with all prisoners, not just the Chinese. They believed that all prisoners were less than human so compassion never entered the picture .
