Shiro Ishii served during this war.
-
Shiro Ishii goes to kyoto to resume his education at Kyoto Imperial University. He studies pathology, bacteriology, and other health and biological aspects he can look into.
-
After gaining his immunity from accusations of war crimes, and getting funds from the imperial Japanese army, Unit 731 was officially opened. Shiro was funded by his friends in the army and close government ties.
-
With his promotion, he was granted immunity from war crimes.
-
Dachau Concentration Camp was founded in March of 1933 by the Nazi government.
-
He steals the idea of a concentration camp, but wants to utilize the space for tests.
-
At the time, Unit 731 was a controlled center for studies of biological and chemical warfare. Ishii was trusted to command and control this Unit; so from there, Ishii was stationed in Pingfang, China.
-
Ishii decided to divide his new unit into eight new segments.
1st Division: Bacteriological research
2nd Division: Warfare research and field experiments
3rd Division: Water filter production
4th Division: Bacteria mass production and storage
5th Division: Educational division
6th Division: Supplies division
7th Division: General Affairs
8th Division: Clinical Diagnosis -
Shiro, gets the idea to conduct research to improve weaponry and battle tactics because of the threat of war.
-
Hitler gains reign of Germany and war is declared.
-
The scientists of unit 731 use children as test subjects for their new dangerous pathogens. Presumably, the children were monitored after being infected to see how quickly and painfully they died.
-
Prisoner experimentation was at its peak. Experiments included have horse urine injected into your kidneys, having vivisection without anesthesia, and having your stomach removed.
-
Shiro Ishii had expected Unit 731 to last as long as he wanted it to, so with that; forced pregnancy was common and rape was almost a daily chore for workers.
-
With their loss of the war, Japan shuts down all active army and government organisations.
-
Unit 731, (AKA nana-san-ichi butai) Is kept secret from the world. Only lately being uncovered by the public.
-
The conflict is over.
-
Shiro Ishii dies of cancer at 67, leaving his daughter Harumi behind.
-
A museum based upon Unit 731 is opened on the original grounds of Shiro's hell on earth.
-
The government officials in Japan finally acknowledge the existence of what happened during the second world war, but don't apologize.
-
It's sad to say the deaths of all those men, women, and their children were in vain; because none of the research conducted by the teams at Unit 731 are used in war, as they're immoral.
