[00:00:00]America made a deal with these war criminals and let every single one of them walk free. Most people think we prosecuted all the worst offenders after World War II, but we didn't prosecute the scientists who tortured hundreds of thousands to death. Here's the real deal. Unit 731 was Imperial Japan's biological warfare facility, hidden in Manchuria from 1936 to 1945.

[00:00:23]Run by Lieutenant General Shiro Ishii, at its peak, 3,000 personnel staffed labs, prisons, and crematoriums across 6 square kilometers. Victims were called maruta, meaning logs, because they weren't considered human. Death toll reached 300,000, primarily Chinese civilians, Korean prisoners, Russians, [music] and Mongolians. They performed vivisections without anesthesia to study fresh organs, froze prisoners until limbs snapped off, infected women with syphilis and forced pregnancies, locked victims in pressure chambers until their eyes ruptured. They weaponized plague, anthrax, and cholera. When Japan surrendered, America made a secret deal.

[00:01:06]Ishii's data for full immunity. The research went to Fort Detrick for America's bioweapons program. The Soviets prosecuted 12 officials. America prosecuted zero. Ishii died free in 1959.

[00:01:20]The worst part of every war is what the winners decide to keep. That's the real deal.
