regarding the unit 731, i remember a long time ago when i was in college, i went to a public library to study with friends for an important exam (highly rare occasion). Ended up didnt study alot for the exams as i went to dig up alot of books regarding ww2 as that was my interest.
Anyway i found this hardcover book titled 'Unit 731' and i am immediately interested, i am a chinese and for us, this topic regarding unit 731 and the massacre of Nanking was to us very similar to what the concentration camp in germany was to the Jews. Most adults Chinese are aware of such attrocities inflicted on our fore fathers or our kind.
I remember this book about this high ranking brass working under General McArthur. He claimed and provided some vague evidence (cant recall clearly) that he was there when General McArthur himself signed the secret agreement btwn the US Government and the Japanese Government agreeing to let free the unit 731 biological weapon research team in return of Japanese Government sharing the results of their research. He was then discredited and given dishonorable discharge after they found out that he was not going to keep his mouth shut re: this matter as i recall.
I was at my teen at that time and was pretty naive on alot of things and this book in quite alot of ways opened up my view on the cold and dark reality of this world. That there really is no justice, and I am very disappointed.
What would have happened if those Nazi that are responsible for the concentration camp had knowledge of rocket science in their hands and happened to have covered their track well and blew up all the evidence like the Japanese did? will the US say "lets trade dude.". I dunno, its just so ugly and unacceptable.
