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.

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.)

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.

[@salia2897]

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.

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).

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.

During college, one of our requirements was to make a library research paper and I did Biological Weapons as a topic and when I read this and saw the pictures, it made me had trouble sleeping for days :(

They should apologise. Officially. But they continue to deny to this day.

W channel ive been watching close to the beginning of the making

Just my opinion, but I prefer your old graphic design. Creating a realistic design of someone's face can be tricky and often doesn’t turn out as well. Plus, using your usual 3D models for humans gives off a more professional vibe and helps the audience focus on the topic. Thanks for another great video - love the channel!

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 :)

[@MICROKNIGHT3000]

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.
