This is what happens when people forget God. If they would have remembered God, then they would have listened to God who says to love your neighbour as much as you love yourself, to even love your enemies and to pray for them.
@@Jesus_Christ_loves_you_alot No one listens to God. They listen to the person that is leading the religion at the time in the area. Unfortunately its often a shitty person who abuses their position and tricks their followers into doing stupid or terrible things regardless of which religion.
It's quite a taboo subject, I think. The younger generation is simply not taught any of the salient points about it. Honestly, it's similar in the US, especially in the south. They have different textbooks that try to "both sides" slavery and I highly doubt any future textbooks would include US war crimes like renditions, Abu Ghraib, Nisour Square, Haditha, etc. I was not even taught about My Lai or basically anything about the Korean or Vietnam Wars. We kind of just stopped learning history after we learned about the MLK assassination.
Oh yeah, it’s not like Europe and america is increasing in Neo-Nazis by day or anything. Totally. What’s the bet whites are going to be the cause of another world war?
Uh no they did, definetly to their main components like the chinese, philiphines, and the koreans. Its just that the koreans nor the chinese report about what the japanese did in return since their greed outwieghts it, and the chinese goverment brainwashes the poeple into killing japanese people today,
history is never simple enough to fit into a 20 min video. but these videos are great as starting points. although this is one rabbit hole i regret ever getting into.
I am Japanese. I had heard about Unit 731 from my father. He had read a novel about that unit when he was younger and told me that the Japanese military used to conduct horrific human experimentation. As Japanese people, we need to learn not only the history of Japan being attacked by other countries, but also the history of Japan attacked other countries. At the same time, I also feel the difficulty of learning history from an impartial perspective.
I attended a private Catholic middle and high school, so I learned extensively about the terrible things Japan did to other countries. (I am a non-religious person) However, I feel that students who attend public schools learn mainly about the fact that "Japan dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki". (Aside from Unit 731, they also learn what Japan did to other countries.) With the war between Russia and Ukraine and the war between Israel and the Middle East raging on, I sincerely hope that World War III will not happen.
In Chinese, it’s simply called 731, and it serves as a chilling reminder of the Japanese invasion and occupation, 80 years ago. The 731 unit was also responsible for the release of a deadly virus near the end of the war (while retreating) which killed two of my fathers mothers siblings and her father. They died a horrible death.
True, but Germany is moving back to that mindset too now, as the generations who came after WW2 die out & the history fades. It always repeats itself. I can imagine some higher level alien species looking at us the way we looked at cavemen, given the way we treat each other/act.
@@d.b.cooper1well as a german i have to say we at least are being taught in history lessons in highschool for like a whole schoolyear about the 3. Reich! And its mandatory.

@@chanel777 Good to know you're taught it at least. But education in a world of social media- hate/misinfo driven algorithms is almost cancelled out. The next gen like the old ones believe anything/everything they see with a obsession with going down rabbit holes/culture wars.

@@TMV_Oil_Up_As_You_Promised They [Japan] did apologize. Maybe not all of these crimes, but go ahead and search for "Japan public apology." There's even an entire Wiki article listing these public apologies.
I am Chinese. My grandmother is a Nanjing Massacre survivor so I have heard her story over and over again, which I still find haunting and brings chills to me every time I think about it. I've also heard the stories of Unit 731 since I was a child, but never knew the horrors until I went to the Unit 731 museum in Harbin myself. I've known the sins of the Imperial Japan. It is unfortunate that the Japanese government has not apologized for their actions and are trying to cover history up by not educating the new generation, but I do not hate the modern Japan, nor hold prejudice Japanese people. (In fact I adore anime.) I simply wish for a peaceful world where there are no wars, but not a world where conflicts don't exist, because we, as humans, need conflicts to grow. May the souls of the deceased rest in peace, may the living thrive and florish.
I so admire your attitude. The Japanese government (by extension, the people of Japan as a whole, who elect them) need to come to terms with their country's past, but your decision to reject nationalism, hate and hope for peace and reconciliation is what we need in this world.

The Nanjing Massacre is anti-Japanese propaganda by the Chinese Communist Party. China claims that 300,000 people were killed, but there were not even 300,000 people in Nanjing at the time. Moreover, there is no way that 300,000 people could have been killed in a period of three weeks. And where are the bodies of those 300,000? It is a lie full of contradictions.
I recently finished watching that Snowpiercer show, and this video’s explanation of the extreme forced frostbite is yet another example of “any violence depicted in a work of fiction probably really happened in history” or whatever
Japan play the victim to this day, and don't mention unit 731 and their other war crimes in their war museums. In fact, the only museum about Unit 731 is in Manchuria, the region of China where Unit 731 was built. Truly disgusting behavior.
This is just one of the many war crimes Japan committed. Unfortunately the Japanese government is very good at historical revision and propaganda... even here in Germany when a Korean group got permission to put up the Peace statue of comfort women in Berlin, Japan's government tried to get it removed. They do not feel remorse over their war crimes, instead they just want everyone to forget. Edit: To clarify, this is criticism towards the Japanese government, especially the LDP party and their stance and actions regarding past war crimes, not the general Japanese population.
@@inkubusarchitektde Which is also being used for propaganda (see: soft powers/Cool Japan campaign). Don't get me wrong, I love anime and studied Japanese studies and university, but I really wish the Japanese government would admit to the crimes their predecessors did and pay reparations to all the people they harmed. Instead top politicians still pay tribute to known war criminals by publicly visiting the Yasukuni shrine, where former war generals are enshrined.
It's just the same as with Russia, America or China itself. ^^ I think it's the "natural" way most countries deal with their past crimes against humanity - with historical revision and propaganda. I am also German, and so I am VERY aware that a faction is rising right now that is establishing a very similar propagandistic and revisionist view of the past...
They did horrible things to Australian POWs too. Corpses would be mutilated, and captives were tortured in unbelievable ways. You can see why there was so much hatred against Japan and celebration when the nukes were dropped. Japan was not a victim of the war, they were the aggressor.
i did a research paper on this topic in 8th grade, and was extremely surprised when no one knew anything about these experiments until i covered it. im glad to see it getting covered, especially by such a great and informational channel
the big problem about Japan is that they never apologized to the Chinese and other invaded Asian peoples for their cruelty during the war, and they never teach about it in the schools; a large majority of Japanese people doesn't know about the kind of horrible war criminals their ancestors in the Imperial Army were.
@@SauceageTFThere is. But the issue is they only talk it in really short amount. Like for comforting women, they only cover it inside a column while they cover Hiroshima and their victims in several pages. The textbook wants to avoid anything visually disturbing or with sexual description. That is why they don't go deep into detailed account of war crimes committed by Japanese Army although they mention them sporadically. I feel like textbooks are really too just scared and being as "neutral" as possible when in fact it leads to lack of recognition of past history among young Japanese.

Thank you so much for this video. Im chinese and it pains me that nobody knows about the suffering that not only us but also the phillipines korea, burma/myanmar, thailand and many more were subjected to. Its foul to me how many people dont know or dont want to know when compared to the holocaust and i wonder if it has more to do with xenophobia or the US not wanting to drag their new ally japan through the mud. One of mt great great grandfathers was present in singapore during the attrocities that happened there and i credit it for the beggining of a generational trauma within my family with him reflecting that cruelty onto my grandfather him to my father and gladly ending there. I dont think its helpful to bash japan or carry on old wounds from the past but the knowledge of the past is helpful in ensuring it never happens again and a simple apology would be nice for so many people and nations. Always remember no human is beneath another human and race, religion, culture, nationality or any other factor do not make it okay to experiment on humans or use them as slaves.
Our horrible criminal history, hidden away by politicians with ancestry in the imperial Japanese regime. When you make such acknowledgements of warcrimes in Japan, right wing extremists starts pouncing on you like vultures, calling you zainichi (non-japanese)...

@@Rayshotem Those were not their own people, not even close. Also, for those that were Japanese, they committed crimes prior, which is why they were there in the first place.
Arguably the best form of compensation for the victims is videos like this that do remember how they were treated. No monetary value could be put on the treatment they received, and it is probably too late now. But keeping documented histories is important, and will hopefully prevent this kind of event taking place again. I hope they rest in peace now, knowing that they are not forgotten.
Japan's excuse: "oTheR coUnTrieS aRe nO difFerEnT" Seriously? Own up to your shit before telling the victims to move on. The lack of shame is appalling.
Theyre right though. I agree they should aknowledge it but its hypocritical for an American or Westerner to say to Japan to apologize for the war crimes. Many American experiments are similar and we dont know about them, you have the Iraqi invasion, 9/11, operation northwoods ,area 51, israeli settlement on palestinian lands and many other war crimes they commit or fund in middle east and elsewhere
'Subjects were deprived of food and water to determine the amount of time until death; placed into low-pressure chambers until their eyes popped from the sockets; experimented upon to determine the relationship between temperature, burns, and human survival; hung upside down until death; crushed with heavy objects; electrocuted; dehydrated with hot fans;[68] placed into centrifuges and spun until death; injected with animal blood, notably with horse blood; exposed to lethal doses of X-rays; subjected to various chemical weapons inside gas chambers; injected with seawater; and burned or buried alive." 'It was said that a small number of these poor men, women, and children who became marutas were also mummified alive in total dehydration experiments. They sweated themselves to death under the heat of several hot dry fans. At death, the corpses would only weigh 1/5 normal bodyweight." - Hal Gold, Japan's Infamous Unit 731, (2019) Thousands of men, women, children, and infants interned at prisoner of war camps were subjected to vivisection, often performed without anesthesia and usually lethal.[35][36] In a video interview, former Unit 731 member Okawa Fukumatsu admitted to having vivisected a pregnant woman. [37] Vivisections were performed on prisoners after infecting them with various diseases. Researchers performed invasive surgery on prisoners, removing organs to study the effects of disease on the human body. Care to provide evidence for "similar" American experiments?

Very brave to make a video about this. I've read about 731 before and it changed me. This was truly the most horrific thing humanity has ever done to other humans. This is hard to watch but the fact that it happened, that people did this, that people were killed for this makes it worth remembering. It makes it worth us looking at it. Seeing our darkest acts and remembering why we have to stand on principals today. The very fact that 731 was a human organization should make the rest of us do as much good as we can in our lives to try and distance ourselves from that depraved and evil part of our species.
my parents and me are chinese and they always told me stories of why they personally have an unforgiving hate for japanese history. they learned about this from their family members and gave me many stories about Unit 731 and I always didn't believe them until I learned it in school too I was actually mortified. almost all of the victims were chinese. my parents said that they would put boiling water all over the victims again and again until it was just enough so they could chop off their entire hands off only remaining the bones, and then taking out their beating heart out of them while they are conscious and etc. it is disgusting what they did at Unit 731 and the stories told to me was toned down since I was young. there is more horrific experiments they've done that even my parents have no knowledge of. if you were to research more, you would see what horrors they've done including the Nanjing Massacre. "No one was allowed to survive Unit 731 alive. “If a prisoner survived the inoculation of lethal bacteria, this did not save him from repeated experiments, which were continued until death from infection supervened."
oh, well we do apologize for our country. But again although this is true and the goverment has personally apologized to your country for around a few generations now and has given money for compensation which ur goverment has greedly gotten. What bothers me is that when I went to interview chinese citizens in china, they repeated things such as "We wish that world war 2 can happen again in order to do the same atrocities that the japanese did to us back to them". Ah. Also in the past few months 12 japanese children were shot, stabbed, tortured and killed by chinese brainwashed citizen. I am in china and has had no report on the news about this whilst going on the japanese news, there are 100s of news articles about thes unfortunate children. Tbh it will not matter anymore. Its around a few generations ago as well.

I am a half Chinese guy who grew up in Germany. Here at school in history class we are educated a lot about germanys past and it's mistakes early on because it is very important to know about your country's history, the good AND the bad. Unfortunately, to this day, most young japanese people have never been educated about the horrible warcrimes of their country in the past like in china. many people adore the japanese culture for it's good things without knowing that denying or ignoring past events like this has also been done for so many years and generations. My grandmother was born right after the war and was told all the horrible storys from the war with japan and she (and many many other chinese people) is still thinking very negatively of Japanese people. Sadly, I don't think the japanese government will ever really acknowledge their crimes in the past, publicly apologize and teach their people about it.
Look up about Nanjing Massacre, where they basically killed everyone in a city 6 time the size of Los Angeles. And till this day they stil memorial the killers in Yasukuni Shrine every year.😅
Nanjing massacre is totally fake. There exist photos of Japanese soldiers laughing with Chinese kids of those days.. Look at current Japanese and Chinese people. Which people look more moral? Why are there so many Chinese who want to live in Japan? People’s character cannot change in just 100 years. Japanese people have been known for being honest, moral, and hard working. Unfortunately there are wicked people who want to defame Japanese people. It is a great shame. They are so immoral.

On the one hand I agree, on the other hand I need to warn you that I have heard stories from that which are on another level of vomit inducing, even compared to this
Johnny harris covered it very neatly, if you don't wanna wait. I think search party combined these geopolitical topics of yuguslavia with sports quite interesting. If you can speak german, I recommend the Channel "CRISIS". The team visited srebrenica and conducted some interviews with the only victim that survived the massacre in 1995. They did a lot of videos about that topic, so if you're in for a deep dive, go for it. They have subtitles as well. Currently they are broadcasting from the russian-ukrainian frontlines, from the middle east and from the civil war in myanmar against the military corps
not 90s war, but still from the region, croatian extremist group, ustashe, that were so bad even nazi generals were grossed out when they saw what they were doing... remenants of all extremist yugoslav groups still exist and they still commit terrorism attacks, though luckily its slowing down as years go by. As someone who grew up in the region, it isn't talked enough, not as much as like in Japan, but when talking about the wars the things the country youre in did are just kinda glazed over... Im not too interested in history, however I was baffled I was not taught some things extremist groups from my country did that I think I should have been. If were not for the internet, so many of us would still be very uninformed about such major attrocious events. I like aviation, this is kinda related. You might have heard of a woman who survived a fall of 10.000ft, she was an FA on a JAT(yugoslavian national airline) flight which was most luckily attacked by ustathe remenants or another terrorist organisation with a bomb.
You guys make some of the most high quality, interesting, entertaining, and informative content I’ve seen in a while. I always look forward to another release from you all and never get tired of watching old videos. As always, another banger.
Whenever i come across these real life stories about human experiments and sacrifices, i cant help but imgaine "what if i was born as that person and went through the horror!??"
For anyone thinking this is hidden and not known about, it's been known about for decades. Not only was a film made about it in the late 80's called Men Behind the Sun, there is also an entire Wiki page, as well as countless other articles addressing the topic. The ony thing that didn't happen was the Japanese governmnet acknowledging that it happened. This whole atrocity isn't some secret. It's been widely known for some time, or at least the information has been in the public domain for some time.
Widely known maybe in East Asian countries, not so much in the West. The information was there, but it's not talked about that much. I just happened to come across it because I read about a new Korean series that touches on it.
731 is the core research division, there are a few more spread across Southeast Asia, such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. All of them have their own unit codes. Note that Singapore and Malaysia have very high population of Chinese living there. 50,000 Chinese killed in Malaysia, 70,000 killed in Singapore.
I assume that a lot of people have at some point wondered how we know so much about frost bite, how much pressure a human skull can take, how diseases affect the bodies etcetera. This is why.
How diseases affect bodies can be perfectly researched by people that just get sick. For viral diseases there isn't a effective treatment in the beginning anyway, historically this took years. And not so long ago there wasn't even antibiotics. And nowadays we have multi-resistant bacteria. Didn't know we knew much about pressure-resistance of human sculls, also does not seem very useful information. We know quite a bit about deep diving but that was discovered by people trying to dive and not even that long ago. And people get all kinds of freezing injuries all the time as well. What apparently is known from such experiments (also of Nazi doctors) is lethal doses of certain poisons. I've never checked which though. In the end, this is also not so valuable, if you do not want to poison anyone. We are nowadays much more interested in finding long term issues with substances that we believe to be safe, which is only possible to observe with long term observations.

we constantly keep germany in check for what they did and we (rightly so) educate kids on the holocaust, but nothing is ever taught about japanese war crimes, like this or nanking. i only knew about unit 731 because I frequent the "disturbing rabbit holes" side of youtube, and wendigoon made a video about it.
while I agree that the quality in general is vastly better than Netflix, one should also remember that Netflix doesn't make the movies they host most of the time. It's always made by a producer with a team, and they are the ones responsible for the quality. Netflix only signs the contract/buys the license for hosting their stuff. that being said, Netflix seems to have a quality problem with hosting movies that don't really hold up to a standard most of us expect from a paid platform. *Edit: after also googling to make sure I wasn't incorrect, I did discover that Netflix Originals seems to be a team they employ.
12:59 “Forced to become pregnant?” You can, and should, say they were raped. Because they were. Euphemism in this case is minimizing, and takes away from the entire point of the video. Don’t soften what happened.
Thank you for making this. I know topics like this can be hard to discuss but it’s important we remember and don’t allow it to happen again. I knew about this because of a podcast I listen to but I feel it’s a topic not as well known as other atrocities.
They should make a horror movie based on these type of unapologetic disasters. I know it’s too soon but this would make people think and realize. There’s nothing scarier than the real world.
I’m from China and I’ve seen countless movies on unit 731. But assuming you live in the west you’ll probably need to do quite a bit of digging to find them as they aren’t really popular outside on China.
I'm always annoyed by how little Imperial Japan's WWII war crimes are discussed in the media today and how many people actually see Japan as a pure victim of that conflict. I think a lot of it has to with politics, specifically since U.S was priming Japan as a close ally after the war and wanted to present a better image for the country. The fact that China was always an adversary to both the U.S and Japan also helped. The country itself also presents such a different image today (it's associated with innovation, electronics, anime, cars, mechas, Godzilla and all sorts of things that everyone loves, which is also an amazing example of how a country can can change trajectory) that people find its WWII era unfathomable (unlike USSR/Russia for instance, which has remained pretty consistent over the decades). Anyway what's happened in the past cannot be changed and it's the future that matters, but it's still important for people to have a correct historical understanding.
I don't know what you mean. Unit 731 is well known and there are plenty of documentaries on WW2 Japan. All victims and participants are dead already, you want innocent Japanese citizens to apologize to you on a weekly basis?
Thank you for shedding light on an event which should be recognized as it is: a revolting portrait of human evil that lives on through the shameless denial of its perpetrators and their compatriots.
Japan doesn't deny it. Japan did apologize, and also compensated billions to Korea; but Korea always cries and lies that Japan never did. That's why Japan is sick of Korea always playing victim so they can keep milking cash from Japan as the rest of the world sympathizes for a country hiding billions worth of compensations.

But in the eye of the Korean Supreme Court, the Japanese have never paid individual reparations to the victims themselves (and rightfully so).

The Japanese government is not going to visit every Korean household and wire them millions of dollars individually. Instead, they sent billions at once to Korea AS reparations. If you don't consider that a reparation, then America hasn't done that to Japan as well. Which they shouldn't have to. Do you see Japan crying every day about America not paying reparations? Nope.
Thank you SO MUCH for covering this undeservingly hidden topic. I did my highschool thesis on this last year, if only your magnificent video would've been there to help me!
Every Chinese know what is 731, that's at least 1.4 billion people, not even including other Chinese outside of China. Atrocities of past Imperial Japan are often talked about in China and taught in school. What nobody talk about is how USA and USSR let the war criminal go free in exchange of that evil research data
2:21 Two corrections here. Firstly, it wasn’t just an “incident.” Gas was used throughout the war. Secondly, Germany was not alone in using it - every major belligerent deployed them.
The hype when getting notified about a new video from you guys, is unreal :D (doesn't matter if it's simpli, 2bg or fern, i watched everything several times at this point xD)
Can't remember his name, but I remember vividly reading in a history book the tapes of a high ranking nazi official that was in Manchuria. Given his rank, he was probably aware of the "final solution" taking place in internment camps. It went on about how he found the treatment of Chinese people by the Japanese unconscionable, and even put himself in front of Japanese officials to stop certain acts. It shocked me because... high ranking nazi official... playing the moral role in this context. It really says something about the Japanese treatment of Chinese people in Manchuria, when even Nazis are horrified by it. Edit: maybe I'm thinking of John Rabe, and mistaking a few things, this was a comment really just of memory of something I read a decade ago and only the gist stuck. The story I recall I think was of a much smaller scale and was buried in a history book going over the XX century. Still it may have been something that happened more than once by the looks of it.
Check out the wiki page about John rabe, dude was a businessman and the local head of the nazis in China. It's said he saved about 250000 Chinese during the massacre of Nanjing by establishing the nanking safety zone.
@MrVentches Maybe. I'll take a look, and see if I find the original account. Edited the comment to reflect this, but I seem to remember being something of a smaller scale and him coming back to Germany or something to that effect.
@PrivateMemo maybe. Either way the clashing of what are two of the worst regimes and ideologies to date is remarkable. I'm very fuzzy on the details though
None of these are taught in Japan. In the rare cases when they are, it's a vague single sentence about 'research on medicine.' Most of the history lessons they receive are about the hardships of the Japanese people and the atomic bombings
Korean people were primarily sacrificed on these war-crime researches, including a very talented Korean resistant poet Yun Dong Ju which is especially sorry
I was looking for references on Korean victims of 731. Do you have any? Because the Wikipedia article only mentions a majority of Chinese and a substantial number of Russians, and "some other nationals" without any details.
Did a presentation of Unit 731 in Social Studies Class; half the class left the room due to the graphic images and horrors experienced by the prisoners. Edit: I'm not sure if the image is put there just to set us up for the topic here, but at 1:06, I think that picture contains American Soldiers that were testing out different gas masks during WW1. If you search up American Soldiers demonstrating the different types of gas masks worn by U.S, British, French, and German troops, you should see the image.
Thank you for making this video. Many people are unaware of these horrible events. I am an ethnic Chinese living in the US so it's amazing to see you make this video as some of my ancestors were the biggest victims of the Japanese during ww2
Do you know Mao thanked the Japanese for the invasion? And told the Japanese no apology is needed? He also accepted a gigantic loan from Japan, which till this day never repay? Japan wrote off the loan as compensation
I hope more people also pay attention to this side of history of Japan in WW2 as much as they did to the nuclear bombings. There's so few movies or documentaries that tackle this compared to the nukings.
I love how more and more people are making high quality animated documentaries like this. Easily the most educational and entertaining types of videos on RUclips.
Note: We still dont know the full scale of other Units and their practices. Countless papers, documenting war crimes and experiments by Japan were burned after the surrender, knowing they could be used in war trials afterwards.
If you are interested, there's a movie called "The Men Behind The Sun" where it talk abouts Unit 731 in great detail. However, the movie contain a lot of gore so just beware. Also, since it's a Chinese film, it will contain a lot of anti-Japanese message into it. Also May this year, I've actually traveled to Harbin, China to actually visit Unit 731 Museum. To actually standing in Shiro's office is something else.
@@joshuafrimpong244 Agree, I just saw some critics say that it have too much anti-Japanese message (although I also saw it a little bit of it, i dont think it's too much, the reason I wrote it have a lot of anti-Japanese message is from the film critics POV) but yes, the hidden message in this film does not really hinder the main plot line of this movie much.

Japanese students don't even get much information about this. Only mentioned in a couple of sentences about Unit 731, while the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was written with lots of details for couple of pages, depicting Japan as the victim of the war. It's really unfair
Thanks for also mentioning what the USSR did here, a lot of Chinese people dilusionally believe that the USSR served justice when the they did not. In fact, I remember reading that many Japanese criminals were treated really well in the USSR.
Both superpowers treated these criminals better simply because they had vast knowledge on bioweapons and had done their "valuable" but murderous research at the expense of anyone Japanese considered inferior.

Unlike Germany after the war, Japan never really acknowledged any of their crimes. If history isn't taught then stuff like this will happen again.
It's quite a taboo subject, I think. The younger generation is simply not taught any of the salient points about it. Honestly, it's similar in the US, especially in the south. They have different textbooks that try to "both sides" slavery and I highly doubt any future textbooks would include US war crimes like renditions, Abu Ghraib, Nisour Square, Haditha, etc. I was not even taught about My Lai or basically anything about the Korean or Vietnam Wars.

I am Japanese. I had heard about Unit 731 from my father. He had read a novel about that unit when he was younger and told me that the Japanese military used to conduct horrific human experimentation.
As Japanese people, we need to learn not only the history of Japan being attacked by other countries, but also the history of Japan attacked other countries.
At the same time, I also feel the difficulty of learning history from an impartial perspective.
Indeed, the japanese government tries to hide up war crimes every now and then. Obviously allied post-war trials were not enough
I attended a private Catholic middle and high school, so I learned extensively about the terrible things Japan did to other countries. (I am a non-religious person)
However, I feel that students who attend public schools learn mainly about the fact that "Japan dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki". (Aside from Unit 731, they also learn what Japan did to other countries.)
With the war between Russia and Ukraine and the war between Israel and the Middle East raging on, I sincerely hope that World War III will not happen.

In Chinese, it’s simply called 731, and it serves as a chilling reminder of the Japanese invasion and occupation, 80 years ago.

'It was said that a small number of these poor men, women, and children who became marutas were also mummified alive in total dehydration experiments. They sweated themselves to death under the heat of several hot dry fans. At death, the corpses would only weigh 1/5 normal bodyweight."

my parents said that they would put boiling water all over the victims again and again until it was just enough so they could chop off their entire hands off only remaining the bones, and then taking out their beating heart out of them while they are conscious and etc. it is disgusting what they did at Unit 731 and the stories told to me was toned down since I was young. there is more horrific experiments they've done that even my parents have no knowledge of. if you were to research more, you would see what horrors they've done including the Nanjing Massacre.

I think an interesting one on a similar topic would be about the war crimes in the Yugoslav war
balkan history isnt often reported on by yt channels, this should change, good idea
yes would be very interesting!
On the one hand I agree, on the other hand I need to warn you that I have heard stories from that which are on another level of vomit inducing, even compared to this
Johnny harris covered it very neatly, if you don't wanna wait.
I think search party combined these geopolitical topics of yuguslavia with sports quite interesting.
If you can speak german, I recommend the Channel "CRISIS". The team visited srebrenica and conducted some interviews with the only victim that survived the massacre in 1995. They did a lot of videos about that topic, so if you're in for a deep dive, go for it. They have subtitles as well.
Currently they are broadcasting from the russian-ukrainian frontlines, from the middle east and from the civil war in myanmar against the military corps
not 90s war, but still from the region, croatian extremist group, ustashe, that were so bad even nazi generals were grossed out when they saw what they were doing... remenants of all extremist yugoslav groups still exist and they still commit terrorism attacks, though luckily its slowing down as years go by.
As someone who grew up in the region, it isn't talked enough, not as much as like in Japan, but when talking about the wars the things the country youre in did are just kinda glazed over... Im not too interested in history, however I was baffled I was not taught some things extremist groups from my country did that I think I should have been.
If were not for the internet, so many of us would still be very uninformed about such major attrocious events.
I like aviation, this is kinda related. You might have heard of a woman who survived a fall of 10.000ft, she was an FA on a JAT(yugoslavian national airline) flight which was most luckily attacked by ustathe remenants or another terrorist organisation with a bomb.
Theres a good movie about unit 731 if you are interested its called: the man behind the sun (its on RUclips and it has some disturbing scenes)
Dont know this one. thanks. think i watch this in parts. Seems too be very explicit.
If you can't handle graphic content don't watch it. The original cut is banned in a lot of countries
@@sully6114 i read the "cut report" before watching and decided to watch the shorter version now. But thx for the appropiate warning
Thank you for information, I didn't know about the movie.
i dont recommend this bc the director used real animals and actually lit them on fire for the recording of the film.
You guys make some of the most high quality, interesting, entertaining, and informative content I’ve seen in a while. I always look forward to another release from you all and never get tired of watching old videos. As always, another banger.
Whenever i come across these real life stories about human experiments and sacrifices, i cant help but imgaine "what if i was born as that person and went through the horror!??"
I appreciate labeling when you use AI voices in your videos. Keep doing this please so other will follow.
For anyone thinking this is hidden and not known about, it's been known about for decades. Not only was a film made about it in the late 80's called Men Behind the Sun, there is also an entire Wiki page, as well as countless other articles addressing the topic. The ony thing that didn't happen was the Japanese governmnet acknowledging that it happened.
This whole atrocity isn't some secret. It's been widely known for some time, or at least the information has been in the public domain for some time.
Widely known maybe in East Asian countries, not so much in the West. The information was there, but it's not talked about that much. I just happened to come across it because I read about a new Korean series that touches on it.
It should be re-known again in this age of TikTok. Different from the 80s and wikipedia age.
Thank you for shedding light on this very overlooked episode in history. This channel is incredible
TY FOR SHEDDING UR FORE SKIN
There is nothing you can accuse the Nazis in Germany of, that imperial Japan did not also do, or worse.
So? They were allies. It makes sense.
Germans in Germany* nazis didn't just spawn out of nowhere
@@gg_gabriel_99you moron 😂 nazis came from all of Europe, Adolf himself was Austrian 😂😂😂 you are a ignorant fool
731 is the core research division, there are a few more spread across Southeast Asia, such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. All of them have their own unit codes. Note that Singapore and Malaysia have very high population of Chinese living there. 50,000 Chinese killed in Malaysia, 70,000 killed in Singapore.
I assume that a lot of people have at some point wondered how we know so much about frost bite, how much pressure a human skull can take, how diseases affect the bodies etcetera.
This is why.
How diseases affect bodies can be perfectly researched by people that just get sick. For viral diseases there isn't a effective treatment in the beginning anyway, historically this took years. And not so long ago there wasn't even antibiotics. And nowadays we have multi-resistant bacteria.
Didn't know we knew much about pressure-resistance of human sculls, also does not seem very useful information. We know quite a bit about deep diving but that was discovered by people trying to dive and not even that long ago. And people get all kinds of freezing injuries all the time as well.
What apparently is known from such experiments (also of Nazi doctors) is lethal doses of certain poisons. I've never checked which though.
In the end, this is also not so valuable, if you do not want to poison anyone. We are nowadays much more interested in finding long term issues with substances that we believe to be safe, which is only possible to observe with long term observations.
@@salia2897They were much much worse than the Nazis, yet they were better protected by the Americans than the Nazis. What does that tell you about the Americans?
@@dopaminey9946 They weren't worse. They did all kinds of crazy brutal experiments in concentration camps.

we constantly keep germany in check for what they did and we (rightly so) educate kids on the holocaust, but nothing is ever taught about japanese war crimes, like this or nanking. i only knew about unit 731 because I frequent the "disturbing rabbit holes" side of youtube, and wendigoon made a video about it.
We only bash the losers but everyone else powerful just shrugs it off like America, Russia and China. Their own lists of crimes is staggering.

Fern animations are better then Netflix🗣🙏
Real
while I agree that the quality in general is vastly better than Netflix, one should also remember that Netflix doesn't make the movies they host most of the time. It's always made by a producer with a team, and they are the ones responsible for the quality. Netflix only signs the contract/buys the license for hosting their stuff. that being said, Netflix seems to have a quality problem with hosting movies that don't really hold up to a standard most of us expect from a paid platform.
*Edit: after also googling to make sure I wasn't incorrect, I did discover that Netflix Originals seems to be a team they employ.

Thank you for making this. I know topics like this can be hard to discuss but it’s important we remember and don’t allow it to happen again. I knew about this because of a podcast I listen to but I feel it’s a topic not as well known as other atrocities.
They should make a horror movie based on these type of unapologetic disasters. I know it’s too soon but this would make people think and realize. There’s nothing scarier than the real world.
I’m from China and I’ve seen countless movies on unit 731. But assuming you live in the west you’ll probably need to do quite a bit of digging to find them as they aren’t really popular outside on China.

De kwaliteit van de video’s worden echt met de video zo veel beter, het is niet normaal. Chapeau
I'm always annoyed by how little Imperial Japan's WWII war crimes are discussed in the media today and how many people actually see Japan as a pure victim of that conflict. I think a lot of it has to with politics, specifically since U.S was priming Japan as a close ally after the war and wanted to present a better image for the country. The fact that China was always an adversary to both the U.S and Japan also helped. The country itself also presents such a different image today (it's associated with innovation, electronics, anime, cars, mechas, Godzilla and all sorts of things that everyone loves, which is also an amazing example of how a country can can change trajectory) that people find its WWII era unfathomable (unlike USSR/Russia for instance, which has remained pretty consistent over the decades). Anyway what's happened in the past cannot be changed and it's the future that matters, but it's still important for people to have a correct historical understanding.
I don't know what you mean. Unit 731 is well known and there are plenty of documentaries on WW2 Japan.

Japan doesn't deny it. Japan did apologize, and also compensated billions to Korea; but Korea always cries and lies that Japan never did. That's why Japan is sick of Korea always playing victim so they can keep milking cash from Japan as the rest of the world sympathizes for a country hiding billions worth of compensations.

But in the eye of the Korean Supreme Court, the Japanese have never paid individual reparations to the victims themselves (and rightfully so).

This is the matter. The Japanese government is not going to visit every Korean household and wire them millions of dollars individually. Instead, they sent billions at once to Korea AS reparations. If you don't consider that a reparation, then America hasn't done that to Japan as well. Which they shouldn't have to. Do you see Japan crying every day about America not paying reparations? Nope.

These atrocities are rarely ever talked about
Every Chinese know what is 731, that's at least 1.4 billion people, not even including other Chinese outside of China. Atrocities of past Imperial Japan are often talked about in China and taught in school. What nobody talk about is how USA and USSR let the war criminal go free in exchange of that evil research data
ur moms atrocious
2:21 Two corrections here. Firstly, it wasn’t just an “incident.” Gas was used throughout the war. Secondly, Germany was not alone in using it - every major belligerent deployed them.

Can't remember his name, but I remember vividly reading in a history book the tapes of a high ranking nazi official that was in Manchuria.
Given his rank, he was probably aware of the "final solution" taking place in internment camps.
It went on about how he found the treatment of Chinese people by the Japanese unconscionable, and even put himself in front of Japanese officials to stop certain acts.
It shocked me because... high ranking nazi official... playing the moral role in this context.
It really says something about the Japanese treatment of Chinese people in Manchuria, when even Nazis are horrified by it.
Edit: maybe I'm thinking of John Rabe, and mistaking a few things, this was a comment really just of memory of something I read a decade ago and only the gist stuck. The story I recall I think was of a much smaller scale and was buried in a history book going over the XX century. Still it may have been something that happened more than once by the looks of it.
Check out the wiki page about John rabe, dude was a businessman and the local head of the nazis in China. It's said he saved about 250000 Chinese during the massacre of Nanjing by establishing the nanking safety zone.
Many things about Nazis and Hitlers campaign is censored because Western history books wouldnt allow the whole picture since it would be anti semitic
You mean John Rabe? He wasn't a high-ranking nazi. He was a regular member of the nazi party, if I'm not mistaken.
@MrVentches Maybe. I'll take a look, and see if I find the original account. Edited the comment to reflect this, but I seem to remember being something of a smaller scale and him coming back to Germany or something to that effect.
@PrivateMemo maybe. Either way the clashing of what are two of the worst regimes and ideologies to date is remarkable. I'm very fuzzy on the details though
It’s quite amazing to have seen this channel grow and watch its videos get to a level that rivals other paid content. Keep it up!
None of these are taught in Japan. In the rare cases when they are, it's a vague single sentence about 'research on medicine.' Most of the history lessons they receive are about the hardships of the Japanese people and the atomic bombings
Korean people were primarily sacrificed on these war-crime researches, including a very talented Korean resistant poet Yun Dong Ju which is especially sorry
I was looking for references on Korean victims of 731. Do you have any? Because the Wikipedia article only mentions a majority of Chinese and a substantial number of Russians, and "some other nationals" without any details.
Netflix cannot compete with this quality stuff
Did a presentation of Unit 731 in Social Studies Class; half the class left the room due to the graphic images and horrors experienced by the prisoners.
Edit: I'm not sure if the image is put there just to set us up for the topic here, but at 1:06, I think that picture contains American Soldiers that were testing out different gas masks during WW1. If you search up American Soldiers demonstrating the different types of gas masks worn by U.S, British, French, and German troops, you should see the image.
This video doesn’t even do the cruelty justice. The Wikipedia article is an absolute horror story.
What's worse is that many of the "prisoners" in those prisons weren't criminals, but people who were simply asking for freedom and independence.
Thank you for making this video. Many people are unaware of these horrible events. I am an ethnic Chinese living in the US so it's amazing to see you make this video as some of my ancestors were the biggest victims of the Japanese during ww2
Do you know Mao thanked the Japanese for the invasion? And told the Japanese no apology is needed? He also accepted a gigantic loan from Japan, which till this day never repay? Japan wrote off the loan as compensation
The word "inhumane" is so ironic. Only humans do these things to each other.
The wording of prevention or p_ndemic preparedness *really* scare me.

Fern, I can tell that you have been able to slowly but surely improve your videos over the past year or so. Keep it up, man. They are looking great.
You know it's about to be good when there's a whole netflix intro for the video
A video on the Japanese, time to prepare myself for psychology trauma I'm about to get...
I hope more people also pay attention to this side of history of Japan in WW2 as much as they did to the nuclear bombings. There's so few movies or documentaries that tackle this compared to the nukings.
I love how more and more people are making high quality animated documentaries like this. Easily the most educational and entertaining types of videos on RUclips.
Note: We still dont know the full scale of other Units and their practices. Countless papers, documenting war crimes and experiments by Japan were burned after the surrender, knowing they could be used in war trials afterwards.
If you are interested, there's a movie called "The Men Behind The Sun" where it talk abouts Unit 731 in great detail. However, the movie contain a lot of gore so just beware. Also, since it's a Chinese film, it will contain a lot of anti-Japanese message into it.
Also May this year, I've actually traveled to Harbin, China to actually visit Unit 731 Museum. To actually standing in Shiro's office is something else.
I don't think the anti-japanese message would hinder the movie in the slightest
@@joshuafrimpong244 Agree, I just saw some critics say that it have too much anti-Japanese message (although I also saw it a little bit of it, i dont think it's too much, the reason I wrote it have a lot of anti-Japanese message is from the film critics POV) but yes, the hidden message in this film does not really hinder the main plot line of this movie much.

Japanese students don't even get much information about this. Only mentioned in a couple of sentences about Unit 731, while the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was written with lots of details for couple of pages, depicting Japan as the victim of the war. It's really unfair
What does the book say about pearl harbor?
Thanks for also mentioning what the USSR did here, a lot of Chinese people dilusionally believe that the USSR served justice when the they did not. In fact, I remember reading that many Japanese criminals were treated really well in the USSR.
Japanese criminals were also treated pretty well by the Americans when it benefited them.
Both superpowers treated these criminals better simply because they had vast knowledge on bioweapons and had done their "valuable" but murderous research at the expense of anyone Japanese considered inferior.

U should change the title back to "japan's worst secret" or whatever it was, i had this in my recommended from an old tab from yesterday and that title is what made me click on it. I don't think Id click on this video with its new title as I have absolutely no idea what Unit 731 is or have never even heard of it. Thanks for reading :)
Thats the idea, youtubers change their title n thumbnails many time across a few days of release. To pull clicks from varying demographic/interest. I only noticed it recently though.
