Nazi doctors sewing together twins under the guise of populating an ethnically uniform German nation, Japanese Imperial surgeons dissecting POWs to plan biological warfare and covert CIA programmes using LSD to experiment for the possibility of mind control. These are some of the most notorious military medical experiments that have plagued our history.

To be fair to modern Japanese citizens, they are never taught of their war crimes in their education system, I theorize this is why the Japanese government has not apologized for the horrors some of their ancestors have done, I think they should all be aware of the truth, but they should also be informed to NOT be like Unit 731 and/or thier imperial past, but that the current generation is not to blame, but an apology to China, Korea and all those who have been oppressed, violated and experimented on by imperial Japan would be nice

[@applepie4287]

@@Yuki_Ika7 That may be true for some of the younger generation. But the people who are really against it definitely know about it. The few times a PM tried to really apologize they quickly recanted as it was basically political suicide to do so. The reason being that most of Japan's government are related to war criminals in some way. For example Abe's family served during that time and his grandfather was to be tried as a class A war criminal but was let off without a trial. I suspect they would at least have a inkling on an idea about it given how there were recent protest about comfort women in Korea which affected many Japanese companies.

[@Mixer2904]

The problem is Japanese education system, while the allies and the soviets ensured that German people go through de-nazification and that they learn what their government did, USA never enforced similar rules in Japan and so Japanese government hid the fact of their war crimes from the people, Japanese children never learn of their country's crimes during history classes.

The scariest part of this is that is that the the people capable of horrors like this are, for the most part, indistinguishable from the rest of us. You could pass the next Josef Mengele or Ishi Shiro by on the street and not know it, until the right climate for their sickness to flourish comes along.

[@mikloridden8276]

Actually they are really distinguishable. They typically love control over others, harbor hatred. And are obsessed with doing things like this. These guys are also in high respectable positions like politicians and doctors that they become obsessed with inflicting sick acts on others. It’s called God complex.

[@SimonAshworthWood]

Indistinguishable by people who are gullible (people who trust media controlled by rich people). People who are politically conscious (e.g. marxists) or mindful (e.g. expert zen Buddhists or psychologists) do notice the difference. That said, one of the reasons for the similarities is that capitalist culture is the seed of fascism. Fascism is what the capitalist ruling class do to face capitalism during economic crises, to prevent the democratisation of the economy, the sharing out of wealth and power (socialism and communism).

One of the more horrific aspects of these crimes is how the perpetrators were largely able to dehumanize their victims. As this video says, the Japanese referred to the people being experimented on as monkeys. Similarly, the Germans often referred to the corpses of Jews as bundles of sticks, not wanting to call them bodies. These sick people would do everything they could to pretend like they weren't mass murdering and torturing living human beings.

It's genuinely horrifying how human beings can look on fellow humans as...not human. The N*zi ideology as a whole is so horrifying to think about.

And then go as far as to invade almost all of Europe and enslave and mass murder MILLIONS across the continent, like a factory, in the span of just a few years.

Almost more horrifying than the pain and harm inflicted upon the unfortunate souls in these hellish places was the fact that very little of the results of these "experiments" were of any scientific value whatsoever.

He was no scientist - just a depraved evil human being who did these things to satiate his perverse curiosity on those deemed less than human.

[@edie9158]

One of the better things taken from these experiments from what I could recall was how to properly take someone out of a hypothermic state. Other than the manufacture of weapons of war or general inhumane cruelty, the outcome of “how to make person warmer” is not a desirable trade for the amount of human suffering inflicted. It also shows quite clearly the interest by the US government in these research experiments, I can really only hope that the personal testimony and few recovered and coherent logs of information of many of these ‘doctors’ proved useful in preventing future suffering in the hands of the West. I doubt it though, seeing the track record of the 50s and 60s.

Unit 731 experiments remind me of the mission in MGS5: The Phantom Pain, where I have to go the “Devil’s House” to rescue a kid. I sometimes wonder if Kojima got the idea from this dark part of Japanese history.

After reading about unit 731, i have learned an important thing. There is no such thing as justice in this world when you have exotic human experimentation data that every government wants. As long as you have this or wads of cash, it is a get out of jail free card especially in a certain country.

Not being edgy, but humans were always the demons that ancient peoples warned us about through their mythological tales. It's just only recently have we started being aware of the cruelty of our forefathers and slowly started developing empathy and trying to be better people instead of brainlessly adhering to social "norms" left by them to us.

So “The Russian Sleep Experiment” isn’t outside of the realms of possibility

[@archierush868]

It’s fake. In the “experiment” it’s stated that they ripped out their organs, I believe a lung and a liver for some of them. No one can survive that.

[@vyros.3234]

The USSR also did many messed up experiments during WW2 and after the Cold War and like America it took advantage of Unit 731s research. The craziest part was both America and the USSR were believed to be attempting to create superhumans and superpowers during the cold war. This was what MK Ultra was all about.

[@just_some_bigfoot_hacking_you]

Oh geez, people still believe on that old fiction story? 🤣🤦‍♂️ There are literally scientific explanations debunking how Russian Sleep Experiment is so unrealistic. If that made up story is real, then earth must be flat.
