An estimated 14,000 people were killed inside the facility itself. Ā In addition, biological weapons developed by Unit 731 caused the deaths of at least 200,000 people in Chinese cities and villages, through deliberate contamination of water supplies, food, and agricultural land.

After the war, twelve Unit 731 members were tried by theĀ USSRĀ in the 1949Ā Khabarovsk war crimes trialsĀ and sentenced to prison. However, many key figures, including Ishii, were grantedĀ immunityĀ by theĀ United StatesĀ in exchange for their research data.

what-the-hell

Ishii's research data and if I recall correctly his own personal consultation was used by the US in their germ warfare against Korea as well. This is one of those things I looked super deep into in high school and it is fucking twisted awful shit.

Ishii's research data

Like "experiments" done during the Holocaust, the data ended up being worthless because it was just an excuse to torture people. Yeah, no shit, people experience pain when you freeze their limbs and shatter them. The experiments were poorly conducted, such as no control groups or methodology with missing steps.

About the only useful thing was the effects of chemical and biological weapons. And again, it was mostly useless because it was like "Yeah, people die if they're exposed to weaponized anthrax."

Distribution methods were the main intel. Dropping aide covered in infected fleas etc. It was less about that diseases kill people but how yo introduce it to people efficiently. The rest was useless cruelty. Some was useful at creating more widespread cruelty later.
