Original subtitles

What is recorded in this film is indeed what happened

Strict reference has been made to archival materials and litigation evidence before the reproduction. and the memories of those involved

However, most of the information about Japanese Unit 731 The original material has been destroyed and can never be recovered

This film is an artistic representation of the crimes committed by Unit 731

Today is the end of August 1945

I was forced to leave Unit 731

I worked as a nurse here for several years

Now we are forced to accept a humiliating treaty and retreat

it's all over

why is this happening

Who can answer?

The emperor declared to his people that he was not a god

But an ordinary person

Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been completely destroyed

And Tokyo is in a mess

Japan has surrendered

I wanted to carry out the holy war to the end

But there is so much ambition but not enough power

The dream of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere is gone forever

forever…

But we must remember What we have experienced and gained

And remember our sacrifices and regrets

This place has always been a mystery…

If any unauthorized Japanese aircraft to pass through this area

Will be shot without any preconditions, no suspense

Many Allied aircraft passed over Unit 731

Because of ignoring Japanese warnings Destroyed by its anti-aircraft guns

Delivered relief supplies to the Soviet Union during the war Several American planes disappeared there

Finally, by chance I had the privilege of taking a look at these documents

This film is dedicated to those executioners

And the unknown victims

This was a small town in pre-war Russia

It's very close to Japan It is a military center in the Far East

This is where China and North Korea border

That is to say, during the Far Eastern War later Frontline positions in the war between Russia and Japan

What happened here a year later The war between the Soviet Union and the Japanese invaders

Japanese invaders destroyed Soviet sea power

The Battle of Long Island ended with the defeat of the Soviet Union

The Soviet Union lost a total of 27,000 soldiers

Almost all subsequent battles were won by the Japanese

But they both suffered heavy losses

And at this time there was a Russian leaders seized the opportunity

His talent makes him The turbulent society emerges

and started a revolution in Russia

This revolution transformed Russia

This is in the center of Cabrosco a building

It is the Russian military headquarters

This building is very important to our story will continue to appear below

This monument tells us On December 25, 1917

Soviet Union declares war on Japan

Because Japan can't stand it A new Russia becomes stronger

In 1918 the Japanese had occupied large tracts of russian territory

This made the Soviet government very angry

In order to regain the territory that has been lost

while Britain, Italy, the United States and France Also joined the invading army

75,000 elite Japanese troops Started the invasion of the Far Eastern Overlord

And killed many Russian celebrities

Make people panic

Started in 1920 The United States, France and other countries have gradually withdrawn their troops

The Japanese suddenly found themselves Start fighting alone

In the end their evil plan failed

I was born in the suburbs of Harbin...

There is a ship repair yard here

It was only after my fifth year at school that I started Rural schools moved into county schools

After I finished seventh grade Then I transferred to "Fourth Middle School"...

The Japanese used to call it that

In the 1930s China and Japan are at war with each other

War is about to break out

The fuse was on September 18, 1931

What happened was that Japan deliberately bombed me "Southern Manchuria" Railway Incident

The Manchurian garrison was retreating steadily. As a result, the Japanese army finally occupied Northeast China

1931 Japanese I was 8 years old when we invaded Harbin

I can only think of one Japanese soldiers gave me candy

This is all I can think of!

What was different after that? All the Chinese guards ran away

Two Japanese divisions occupied Manchuria...

China has millions of troops

Most of them took off their armor, Scattered for their lives

At least in Harbin The Japanese keep everything organized

Crime has decreased a lot They are very good at policing

They took all the idle people They were all arrested and sent to border defense.

No one came back alive

Everyone in Manzhou knows

They were all executed after completing their mission So not a word was mentioned

The Japanese are very good at playing with fire The bodies were cremated, that's all

1943 or 1944 I have met several Chinese prisoners

They showed us the so-called "Sacrifice Project"

They want to build a mountain road to the Amur River

we are not very far apart So I was lucky enough to see the other side of the river - the Soviet Republic

next to us Chinese workers are working on another project

Apparently, they disappeared after the completion.

After finishing high school, I went again...

Studying electrical mechanics at Hokuman University

There are two colleges there The other one is the School of Economics

I studied there for half a year and then I was awarded a bursary and studied for another year.

After graduation I saw an advertisement:

"Want to recruit Russian students to attend medical universities"

What you should know about being a doctor abroad It's a good job

If I become an engineer, my employment will not be guaranteed. As a doctor, I don’t have to worry

Naturally, everyone flocked to

Although there are many, many applicants, Only four people, including me, were chosen

I like sports very much Since then, I have been in the gym every day

I don't train that regularly I don't have that time

I just go there every once in a while, step by step Became the champion of Harbin at the age of 16

There is no rival for me in the city

Publicly announced in 1938 to destroy Soviet power

A large number of troops were assembled on the border between China, North Korea and Russia.

This is the famous "Black Sun Conflict" incident

In August of the same year, Soviet troops drove the Japanese back

Although Japan does not give up,

But still suffered defeat

But the next year Japan began to invade Mongolia

The Soviet Union united with the Mongolian army Let’s fight against Japan’s invasion together

From July to September of the next year

This war resulted in nearly 61,000 Japanese casualties.

Japan has since realized It was the lack of strategic resources that led to the defeat.

Although Japan and the United States are still allies But there are already cracks in their relationship

The Empire of Japan at this time Can no longer accept the fact of defeat

thus strengthening its determination to win in terms of military power

In fact, Japan’s understanding of the situation after 1930 Expressed a lot of worries

Because its ally Germany has begun to attack the Soviet Union Study and use the most dangerous weapons

biochemical weapon

Germany began to research and use biological and chemical weapons since 1920

Start experimenting only on death row prisoners

Later, experiments on Soviet prisoners of war began

I didn’t know that Germany was secretly experimenting with poison gas and bacteria How many prisoners of war were killed?

those innocent people and became a victim of Germany's research into germ warfare.

In order to obtain research data on biological and chemical weapons, the Soviet Union

Also began to use human bodies as experimental subjects

This is the object and equipment used by the Soviet Union for research and experiments

Although these experiments and studies are confidential But there is no way to avoid Japan’s attention.

early 1930

Bacteriologist General Shiro Ishii and summoned the Russian, German and Italian

expert in bacteria

Especially German experts

To carry out research on bacterial warfare and biological and chemical weapons

He said that if Japan does not seize the time, I might miss this great opportunity.

Shiro Ishii considered Because Japan has too few resources

So it can only be done in terms of biological warfare and bacterial warfare. Find a balance with developed countries

The country agrees with his idea

In 1932, the Japanese cabinet agreed General Shiro Ishii in Manchuria

Establish an institute dedicated to germ warfare and a base for biological and chemical weapons research

All workers are from local sources

And this military base

It is the infamous "731 Military Base"

They call it "Wild Goose Squadron"

Square building with two floors and four floors in total

The entrance to the prison is underground

Surrounded by power grids Secondly, there are always people watching outside.

You can't talk about the Russians I can only sympathize with them

No joke So you must take care of your mouth

Chinese and Russians come to town Then it suddenly disappears...

you can report it to the police but it's no use

The police don't know where they are either

They will be secretly taken to Unit 731 and then locked up

Square building, two-story prison

Four stories high, entrance underground

By order of General Shiro Ishii

i came here

Most of the prisoners here are around 20 years old

According to regulations, prisoners should wear the same kind of clothes

This way you can see it at a glance

In fact, they are all civilians

In 1944 it was an open secret

There were only three women and one child

Two of them are Russians

The other one is Chinese

That little Russian girl is only four or five years old

Women are often used in in vivo experiments

And STD testing

and poison gas tolerance test

If a person dies or there is no further value in conducting experiments

Then he will be sent to the crematorium

On average there are three experiments every two days

during the experiment Experimental subjects are not allowed to eat or drink

Subject's body will be dried

The head will be soaked in potion

The blood is stored and used for transfusions

Other parts will be burned

All these experimental data are useful

Because we can know from those data Human body’s tolerance to extreme conditions

After these experiments, there will be a lot of corpses

In Unit 731, these corpses cannot be underestimated.

It is also of great use

Bacteria infected with the deceased at the same time Will continue to reproduce

More than 300 kilograms of bacteria are produced every month

600 kg of plague virus culture medium

900 kg of cholera culture medium

And a ton of pigment

General Shiro Ishii once said

I'm like a cannon

Biochemical weapons cannot kill the enemy immediately

But these bombs are more powerful

These bacterial bombs are more powerful

Can kill people invisible

Let the enemy die a slow and painful death

we must do this

We can pollute something that is completely harmless

Can contaminate clothing

food and water

And livestock

Bacteriological bombs can be dropped from airplanes

Although the first attack is not very lethal,

But bacteria can reproduce on their own

Then slowly kill the target

Unit 731 will put bacteria in its own germ bombs

Metal sheets can be used as culture media for bacteria

And a very small piece of culture medium A considerable number of bacteria can be cultured

These are the things in the bomb

after the bomb exploded These shrapnel will scatter everywhere

A shrapnel from a germ bomb 60 times more lethal than an ordinary bomb

When Major Tanaka began to study After insects carry the lethality of bacteria

A rat's body is dancing Can destroy the entire military base

Biological and chemical weapons produced and used by the Japanese From now on it will be even more miserable

Let me tell you something more

Then they collected dead infected mice

But they still find a way Get rid of the lice on them

They can't sit there and pick them with tweezers...

So they thought of shining a bright light on them Then drive all the fleas into a dark hole

All fleas will obey

Then they'll take the fleas away Put it on the plane

Finally put them where they belong

Finally they found Fleas can only be released from an altitude of 250 meters.

If launched from 300 meters The fleas will all die and be useless

So when they want to Chinese military targets before strike

The plane will fly over the target area at night Then accelerate and dive towards the target area

When they return to base, they will gather into small groups

Wear protective clothing sprayed with special chemicals

Even if one or two fleas survive There will be an epidemic in Harbin

Why there is no epidemic It's because all actions are carefully planned

What’s the evidence of their success?

A Chinese microbiologist questions the origin of infections Because there were no infectious diseases circulating among rodents at that time

This newspaper was sent to Unit 731 General Ishii was very proud of this and then summoned all his subordinates

So that they can see This is good for them

We don't know the prisoner's name We only know their numbers

due to confidentiality reasons They are all called "Ma Lu Da"

It means "round wood"

Most people hate us and the Empire

I can only turn a blind eye to this

But at the same time, I felt pity again

At this time, compassion is our enemy

But I can't control myself

From the moment they step in here

I knew they wouldn't make it out alive.

Pregnant women are the rarest experimental materials

Few doctors have had similar surgical experience

this time for them It's a very rare opportunity

If this operation is unsuccessful

In order to achieve the purpose of the experiment

Will definitely come again

How much have we sacrificed for humanity?

But our own humanity has been lost

one day my soul will be empty

I'm afraid to look into their eyes

I'll look at the top of their heads

Or looking at the floor

Then wash off the blood stains on my body

It's not all their blood

There is also their hatred

All curses are dissolved in this blood

When can I cleanse my soul?

When will I stop trembling when I face them?

Different branches of Unit 731 The experimental studies conducted are different

Not only the biological and chemical weapons division

and the Ray Research Division

Jae Tian is the head of the Ray Research Department

They were interested in the effects of X-rays on the human body

want to find out through this research Human body's reaction to long-term radiation exposure

I met the officer they captured at that time Doesn't look like a monster

Those are officers who obey their orders

They know there is no other choice Either commit suicide or continue working

But what exactly makes them monsters? Of course, they say everything on TV

No one knows how much pain a person can tolerate

People in war have a surprisingly high tolerance for pain

But everyone feels pain

But how much pain do they have to endure before they lose consciousness?

How big is it?

Who can find out clearly?

I can't bear to watch it...

From ancient times to the present, Chinese prostitutes have

Go to any village in China As long as the price is right

You can find any kind of girl

In China's brothels, you can catch any disease Such as syphilis

But one of the better brothels in China They celebrate the "Flower Festival"

Frequent customers participate in a gambling-like activity The winner gets to enjoy the newest girl

In pre-war Japan, parents would give their daughters to My brothers, in order to earn a certain amount of money

Our superiors asked us to study the contagiousness of diseases

First, we need to study the infectivity of gonorrhea and syphilis

Maybe we have to lose our true nature before we can succeed

man infected with syphilis

Then let him infect healthy women

And then observe these infected people

I didn't participate

Later someone told me

Someone has seen it with their own eyes

After that experiment Another experiment seems necessary.

That's the poison gas experiment

Moreover, they also use living subjects in poison gas experiments.

For example, chlorine, mustard gas, hydrogen sulfide

Lewis gas and sarin gas

Frequently use 5 to 7 minutes

can be fatal

Sometimes we treat people with open vein wounds I'm very interested in how long it will survive.

For example, if there is a big wound on the neck Or there is a wound on the arm

Usually other experiments are used Experiments on surviving subjects

Soldiers sometimes carrying a lot of ammunition Will survive for a long time after being shot

we are curious about this

But you will lose too much blood

But we will continue to experiment

until the experimenter is completely lose consciousness or die

I once bumped into Unit 731 by mistake Because my friend lives in old Harbin

There is a beautiful forest 25-30 meters away You can find a lot of things in there

We often go there to pick mushrooms

My mother often goes there and picks up a lot. So we often go by ourselves

Once I walked deep into the woods Someone yelled at us - Stop!

we stopped Nothing will happen to your past as a soldier.

If you take one more step, he might shoot you.

A Japanese soldier on patrol came towards us Ask: "Why are you here?"

We are all medical students We all speak Japanese

We explained and showed them the mushrooms we had collected

Then he got weird "Why do you speak Japanese?"

Then we said we are students of Harbin University

"Oh, I see...Okay, you can't come here Go back quickly and don't let me see you again! "

We said, "Yes, sir!" Then turned around and left

We have no idea what those are

I didn't think about it until later

We continue experiments to study the art of death

Death can sometimes give us answers to many questions

For example, we will study how to inject air into the human body How will human organs react?

Injecting horse urine into the human body How will the human kidneys react?

After people smell the air containing phosphorus, What will be the reaction?

The enemy bombed Japan with phosphorus bombs We must know it thoroughly

White phosphorus is a highly toxic substance with a very low ignition point

Even at room temperature It will also become natural when exposed to the air

Then generate a high temperature of 1500 degrees

Even a little bit can cause great damage to the skin

It will burn all the skin and bones

After the combustion is complete, the white phosphorus disappears

yellow flame

Produces white smoke

Have you ever seen a burning person?

Here we are interested in women's tolerance to itch

Captain Tanaka versus insects and is interested in various insect-borne diseases.

Of course there are all kinds of torture

Sometimes the results are unsatisfactory

But sometimes it's surprisingly satisfying

But he seems to prefer the process

dear mother

wish you healthy

In this far north country It's snowing heavily at this moment

I'm tired of life here

But every Friday night we Everyone has movies to watch

Our female soldiers here A cultural troupe was also formed

There is also a very popular place It's called "War Paradise"

It was organized by Chief Linen

We have to keep it a secret from our family

What does this mean?

I have too many doubts

Sometimes I feel like death has taken over Japan

Maybe the people haven’t realized it yet How much do we need to sacrifice for the common prosperity of Greater East Asia?

I hope the goddess of victory Still on our side

When you go to the temple to offer incense Please help me pray a lot

By the way, bring some for me to my friends

End of Part 1

You are watching a film by Andrei Iskonov: "The Philosophy of the Knife"

Destroy my body

Ravage my soul

Excited for you

I don’t know that God sees it

I don’t know how deep the sky is and how deep the earth is

Going your own way

Don’t know when enough is enough

It will only get deeper and deeper

The will to live

Being wasted little by little

Torture on my body

Can't make my soul surrender

Use all kinds of torture

Desire to bring my soul into submission

Wishful thinking…

I don’t know how deep the sky is and how deep the earth is

Going your own way

Don’t know when enough is enough

It will only get deeper and deeper

Deeper and deeper...

Part 2

When you do this kind of thing, you will inevitably make mistakes.

And the scary thing is This may send you to the West

Yes, some accidents do happen

Not many, but definitely some

Senior Japanese military officials feel Take advantage of Germany's opportunity to contain the Soviet Union

You can sneak in by yourself

The Japanese are interested in finding ways to effectively combat the cold

So we arranged for Unit 731 to conduct experiments

And how to make it more realistic Create fake frostbite to confuse the enemy

In order to obtain research results as soon as possible Unit 731 decided to conduct live experiments outdoors

This experiment was conducted by Yoshimura and his team

as a scientist He was very interested in the effects of cold on the human body

And there have been very good research results in this field

He also does research on aviation medicine

After the war he became One of Japan's most well-known scientists

April 29, 1978

it's his birthday

He was criticized by the Japanese Minister of Education for his Awards for contributions to scientific research

In vivo freezing tolerance test I do it during the coldest time of year

January, February, and November

At that time the temperature can reach minus 40 degrees

Often exposing subjects to severe cold

At about 11 p.m. Then pour cold water on your body

In order to allow the experimenter to withstand the cold longer,

Keep pouring water on it

Then the skin will turn red and turn white.

Then full of blood

Then it will become white and black

Eventually it froze completely and turned completely black.

At this time, the muscles and skin have been completely necrotic and separated.

Then continue watering

If the experimenter still feels pain

It means it is not completely frozen yet

All limb tissues have since become necrotic

All we need to do is Then raise the temperature of its limbs

The fastest way is Place its limbs in warm water

Warm water will cause a series of changes in its limbs

All we have to do is observe and record these changes

What also interests us is the relationship between Europeans and Asians Will the reaction of the same experiment be the same?

The conclusion is that different races Responses to the same experiment are different

For this experiment If the water temperature is too high, only bones will remain

Think of freezing experiments, they did happen

for what? In order to find a cure for those Japanese soldiers

that's the reason That's why they freeze their arms and legs

I've seen scenes where limbs were removed from living people

Many just lost their fingers

More often than not, only the bones of the hands and feet are left.

Every time the experimenter's skin and flesh are successfully peeled off,

After so many experiments

There is no way for the experimenter to continue to live.

They have a venue in the wild Surrounded by high earth walls

There are many upright metal rods scattered inside.

These sticks have something tied to them The bomb is placed in the middle of these things

These bombs are all connected to the power supply

Those shrapnel will fly everywhere and hit all targets

Of course they'll take them back to the lab for observation

How many people were hit, seriously...

Anthrax can easily raise body temperature to 38 degrees or higher

Different individuals have different tolerances to viruses Some hours, some days

Typical symptoms are high fever

Severe headache, cough, sore throat...

There is also hydropleural effusion

Difficulty breathing, sometimes vomiting blood...

Blood bubbles began to appear on the face of the poisoned person

Some very scary phenomena began to appear

Skin feels hot and dry

Symptoms of hemiplegia occur

The whole body is black and weak.

Quite a few people died because of experiments

They will select young and strong people for experiments

Sometimes some electrical sensitivity tests are done

Some female subjects will be tied to chairs Conduct experiments with voltages of several thousand volts

Moreover, the voltage used in experiments will continue to increase.

Even men can't bear such voltage

And these are just commonplace for them

Some people came alive

But these experiments will definitely have a negative impact on their bodies cause permanent damage

We put the electrodes in the experimenter's mouth

Many people can't stand it at this time

Then the current is passed into the body through the wire

When the current passes through the body, produce violent reaction

unimaginable pain

They also conduct other More extreme human experiments

They gassed their subjects Watch how their skin and organs react

The poisonous gas caused serious damage to their bodies

The experimenters took their blood for testing

The mortality rate is basically 100%

But the crimes of Unit 731 did not end there.

where everything is done according to the scientific method Because Mr. Ishii is the most authoritative microbiologist there

He once studied in Germany and his level is higher than others

That's why he was so interested in delving into

How will humans react? How will the organs react?

Why did Japanese medicine decline after the war? There has been such a big improvement and it has surpassed the level of other countries?

Because they record all the data themselves

What effect do these drugs have on humans? Not to cats, dogs or monkeys

There's a big difference

May 8, 1945, the end of World War II

Germans gather in Los Angeles

The Soviet Union and the United States had never gotten along so well before.

Germany had no idea before the start of the Cold War Things will develop like this

After Germany's defeat Nazi flags thrown outside Stalin memorial

On the previous April 9th He refused to sign an armistice agreement with Japan

Until the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan

At the same time, the US military is gradually approaching the Japanese island

They landed in Imperial Japan perfectly

In order to win, the US military dropped two atomic bombs on Japan

The Japanese people were devastated

The Japanese military strongly condemns the actions of the United States in Japan and stated that they would pay for it

They didn't know yet that this would be the end of the Japanese Empire

Official working hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. just like everywhere else

But, because Mr. Ishii is a night owl

He often makes his assistants work late Just let them go

But they have to be back at 9 o'clock in the morning

He comes back too, but while everyone else is working He locked himself in the office and slept

One of the staff complained: He is such a night owl

He made us work late Then I have to come back at 9 o'clock

But he himself is locked in the office Ask others not to harass him for 3 to 4 hours

But who dares to complain to the general? you have to work there

No matter if you have had enough sleep or not!

Those heinous and cruel human experiments

The purpose is to observe bacteria and electric shock Damage to human organs

Their purpose is to find out The limit of human suffering

before completely losing consciousness

Will there be a feeling of being thrown high into the sky or thrown into the deep sea?

The current will increase suddenly in an instant, Not one of the 190 people survived.

The experimental subjects in these gas chambers There are a lot of blood blisters on my body

Many people were injected with poisonous liquid

causing blood to boil

There are blood blisters all over my body, including my teeth.

to organs in the body Such as severe pain in muscles and intestines

At that moment the human body will expand

Trembling, protruding eyes

The head will swell as big as a football

incontinence

Some test subjects die rapidly within minutes

The war began to turn into a nightmare for Japan

After the United States captured Nagasaki The U.S. military marches straight into the Japanese island

But the Emperor of Japan still believed The Japanese army was able to repel the US military

But the U.S. military's atomic bomb destroyed Japan

Those Japanese soldiers who were forced to surrender would rather commit suicide

This caused the Japanese army to lose many young soldiers

All Tokyo citizens are asked to fight until the end

Japanese commander believed The entire country will provide them with the weapons they need

Then you can hope to defend your country

At this time, President Roosevelt approved Order to drop atomic bombs on Japan

At 8:50 on August 6, 1945

The US military dropped 60 kilograms of highly enriched uranium on Hiroshima The atomic bomb codenamed "Little Boy"

For most Americans The attack on Japan was of great significance

Because this led to the end of Japanese militarism

In the past 15 years, all parts of the world have suffered This cruelty of imperialism

On the next day, August 9th

Another atomic bomb codenamed "Fat Man" Sent to Nagasaki

The goal is determined, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0

These two nuclear attacks Turned Hiroshima and Nagasaki into hells on earth

From now on, history will be divided between these two places.

Before the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Look at those Americans in those days What have you been forced to do?

The Japanese because of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Still harboring a grudge against the United States

They don't even try to hide this hatred

To improve this situation, Americans…

In recent years, attempts have been made to promote a version of the story

One of the bombs was dropped at the request of the Soviet Union

but no one believes it

In the war launched on August 9

Our troops violated the agreement with Japan

Under the treaty, we have the right to attack them within a year.

But we attacked them in 1945 That's not within the framework of the treaty

we didn't talk enough It violates international law

Unit 731 started to feel scared

Researchers began to collect their data prepare to escape

Planes and cars were burned

This research institute that once cost a huge amount of yen It just vanished into nothing

There are many medical instruments inside that are made of platinum.

All valuable things were taken away

On August 10, 1945

Army chemical department in Kanto Unit 516 was discovered

Unit 731 wants to destroy all experimental evidence

All those experimental prisoners who survived All injected with venom

everyone is waiting The moment the war ended

The sky was dark that day and it was raining

The rumble of a moving train With the pain caused by war

These pains will not disappear as the train goes away

In the process of territorial struggle It will always bring a lot of disasters

Terror accumulates around you and me

But Russians are still waiting for the light to come

Women in Russia and Poland They are all waiting for their men to come back

But many of their wishes will come true.

Everyone is talking about what the Japanese army did Some people even killed the Japanese women they caught.

The war is clearly lost

The Japan we used to know has disappeared

General Shiro Ishii orders men in his unit to commit suicide To avoid being caught in the future

But to escape from this pain It will take a long time

After Japan signed the surrender agreement

This piece of history will always be remembered in people's hearts

In memory of those who unfortunately died in the war

Japanese people usually have two religious beliefs Taoism and Buddhism

The funeral uses Buddhist rituals The rest is done according to Taoism

Why didn't General Ishii kill himself?

As a true samurai, he should do this

If our people stop the train he will do it

But they didn't do that, so there's no need to kill themselves.

Some people choose to commit suicide when they are desperate

He saw a way out He chose to run away with all his belongings

Why did he commit suicide?

They lied and said you gave a regular train That was supposed to send refugees home.

Obviously those soldiers have changed into civilian clothes.

But there is no need for women and children to change clothes

They left quietly with the records

Everything went smoothly until they arrived at Busan Port

When they got there, there was a boat waiting for them

they keep walking I think it was an American ship

Because they brought General Ishii directly to the United States.

We could have gotten all those research results If only our military weren't such idiots

By that time all the Manchurians had been taken over by the Russians

Sent to the Pacific and Korea

That train is coming from Harbin Pretending to be a refugee

No one even checked Who were on that train?

General Ishii got on the bus With his assistants and documents

They left right under our noses

They boarded the ship silently no one noticed

On the way back to Japan

Ishii warned them that no one should speak without permission Anyone who violates this will be put on the suicide list.

Then those Americans and generals had these results

Maybe those Americans want to see him

But I know He must have given everything to the Japanese first

Is that for military use? I have no idea

They obviously used these results to improve their medical level

World War II ended in 1945

It was caused by Japan's attack

It ended with Japan's unconditional surrender

For the next seven years, Japan was controlled by the United States

To enable Japanese military personnel to receive pensions in the future

All soldiers were released and regained political rights

We never saw war in Harbin again

Because before the arrival of regular troops, the Japanese army Just surrounded it

First, people from the MVD (Ministry of Interior) and MGB (Ministry of State Security) arrived.

Go get those so-called Information from the "Russian Emigration Service"

Those records were met with suspicion They took all the information away

The Japanese knew they had surrendered Won't do anything extreme

The Soviet consulate suggested that we work as translators in prisoner of war camps

Our patriotism is so passionate We all want to rebuild our country after the war

But when I got there Sent to the Soviet Union as a Japanese spy

I have to talk to the first two officials who see me Prove that the information is wrong

I slapped them Especially the second man, he was seriously injured.

He stayed in the hospital for two weeks

I warned the head of that department I will kill the third person

So he warned his officials to stop talking so much

I am a document translator for the security service in Khabarovsk

I can read Japanese, so I'm at the headquarters of the Kanto team Serve as archivist for other translators

We don’t translate everything

We only pay attention to interesting things

We focus on preparations for biological warfare, such as...

that's really fun

There are two translators who are very familiar with medical terminology

Later Platon Platonovich Plachenko And I

We need to summarize these things into a dictionary Convenient for other translators to use

They divided into two groups Spent two weeks learning the terminology

No need to understand the meaning of the terms Deeper study is redundant

They don't understand the implication of those words

To avoid mistakes Some microbiology experts were specially transferred from Moscow

They all have PhDs in science and many are researchers

an investigator, a microbiologist A prosecutor, an interpreter and the defendant

This is the team that performed the mission

those who have not received special training Not even qualified to question them

So Platon Platonovich and I Have to share more work

If there is any misunderstanding One of us is going there immediately

"Let them figure it out!"

It would be much easier to teach a bacteriologist He can learn a lot of medical terminology right away

At the same time, that prosecutor needs write down everything said

The experts from Moscow were very unhappy

Their research is because some Japanese people forced to stop

But when those Japanese people started talking The eyes of those experts will suddenly shine

"Oh, yes, we are right next to the research."

But a few years later the Japanese would know

The generals were locked up in a place called Room 45 That's where Platon used to work

They maintained the environment of Camp 16 very well

their attitude towards prisoners, food Everything is a model in the camp

Their food is better than that of the Soviet army I'm sure

Prisoners in Pereyaslavka There is a dedicated hospital

They were sent to the hospital for treatment No matter what the disease is

There's first aid equipment there The prisoners are all in good health

How is the investigation going?

The inquest will begin at 9am and will include those under investigation Everyone will have 2 hours to enjoy biscuits and tea

10 to 15 minutes later everyone was drinking tea

The waiter will put everything away The survey will last for 1 hour There is still time for lunch at 2 o'clock

There will be no surveys at night or at other times

The trial will be conducted in accordance with the rules and conventions of inquiry

Those being investigated will wear their uniforms Of course the quality is very poor.

Officials are wearing jackets I wear their T-shirts in private

There was only one person there who had no official title is Platon's academic partner, and of course me

We know he's funded by the military

But who gave him the money? How to give? We only know his name, Ozaki

All we know is that he is a student and that he wants to get his money Who knows where he's going?

When he was discovered in a concentration camp were taken to Platon and me

He denies everything and says he knows nothing

But when we almost put our faces on his face

He thinks we are students Working for the Soviet Bureau of Investigation

We are just Russian citizens But as soon as he saw us, he immediately started talking

As General Yamada said There are some things he doesn't remember

when he saw a document He signed it immediately

After reading it, he said: Oh, I remember

It cannot be said that they are all loyal to their actions

they admit something It can be proven with some documents

That's unavoidable, But they are not actively sharing their research results

I don't work much with the commanders in Kanto.

"Mr. Investigator" is a man about 33 to 35 years old

Maybe a major or an army colonel He went on a mission as an investigator

He is very capable and knowledgeable

He asked Commander Yamada all these questions

Commander Yamada replied: Maybe it happened, I don't remember

the investigator asked Does this commander have a very poor memory?

He replied: Please, ask Mr. Investigator how old he is.

I'm not sure, I think he answered 35 Then I translated it like this

"I want to know when he is 70 years old What will happen to memory?”

The investigator is unhappy again He hoped the commander would answer "yes"

The investigator started cursing

I asked him: Should I translate? He said: Go on!

So I translated it truthfully

The commander thought for a while, stroked his beard, and then said

I'm 70 now and my mom is 92 or 91 I don't quite remember the happy days the prosecutor and she had.

The investigator asked me: Didn't they curse?

That's right, they didn't

Why didn't you tell me? I said: Why didn't you ask?

He thought I should answer him in a formal way: Sir, I don't

Our government requested that this issue be included in the Tokyo Incident

This matter involves 5 major countries: Soviet Union, United States, China, United Kingdom and France

The Chinese said: They are all targeting us But we don't think this needs to be included in

When we started, The American asked: What are we talking about here?

Is there any evidence that they used chemical or biological weapons against you?

"No" "Then why do you still bring it up?"

This is the tone of the conversation In the end, this topic was not raised at the Tokyo Trial.

Only successfully sued them for releasing fleas into China nothing else

The Soviet government decided to Establish a department to deal with the Tokyo Trial incident

In 1949, representatives from various countries came to this building for a meeting

The meeting lasted for 5 days

Almost all Japanese defendants received severe sentences

History is always reincarnating

We have no right to interrogate those Japanese Because they haven't done anything to us

There are some secret bacterial research institutes in the United States It even exists today

But we can't arrest the institute's assistant and say: You are a threat to Russia!

You can't just use your own likes and dislikes as the standard As long as they haven't taken any concrete action

We have no right to interrogate Because they are not our citizens

We can only prosecute criminals who kill people This is reasonable international sovereignty

No reporters are allowed to report You know how they cover it up?

They say the trial starts today In fact it started yesterday!

No one is allowed to enter the trial venue

Of course those reporters would scream But no one was allowed in

That's their means of control!

They know that if the trial is not controlled A lot of reporters will be invited inside to hear the trial.

To be honest, it was a closed trial

Only those agents in the Ministry of State Security and the Ministry of Internal Affairs Only those with their families can enter

I left the Ministry of Internal Affairs and went to work for the Ministry of State Security

Because many Japanese were deported back home

I read the information written by the headquarters of the prisoner of war camp to the prison warden.

He asked above how to deal with American officials

Because they all want to take a vacation

I watched it several times, I don't know if those are slang.

I walked to the headquarters

He said: Let’s put it this way Being caught can be regarded as a kind of rest.

During the time you were held captive in the United States 50% of your salary will be transferred to your personal account

He gave me an example

They dropped bombs on Japan Instead of traveling four thousand miles to Guam

And they go directly to Petro, 1,000 miles from Eleninsky Airport

It will be two and a half years before they can sail home During that period, their wages were paid directly into their accounts.

But some concentration camps were very cruel

Americans may be stripped naked

If the opponent is a Japanese soldier with a saber That might have become a target for him to practice on.

That really happened

But no one will waste time sending them to Unit 731 Because the journey is far

there are many locals there

In 1956, many Japanese Convicted for killing each other in the camp

All the bacteriologists were neatly dressed from Moscow Taken to the office building in Khabarovsk

They were tried there and then sent back to Japan

At that time we were about to return the (occupied) island to them

Those people were sent back But just in case, those islands were not returned

That was after a long investigation.

There was a Japanese exhibition in Niigata in 1968 We were invited to go because the two sides have become friendship cities

Many former Japanese prisoner of war camp personnel went to view this exhibition

than the exhibition itself they are more interested in seeing russians

I remember one of them He worked as a cook in a Russian prison

His friends remember how much fun they had at that time A Japanese man is confused

"Is everything so wonderful in the Soviet camps?"

"How strange that is, there are so many people in there."

"I was sent to a camp in America I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy."

The Soviet Union extradited them all

In Prisoner of War Camp 16 A Stalin manuscript was displayed

"Cruel physical torture of prisoners by officials will never be tolerated."

If officers and soldiers are found to have abused prisoners of war, they will be punished.

You can only eat 200 grams of bread and a glass of water within 10 days

The food was taken from the prisoners who were abused

After 10 days, those who violated the rules Will be sent to the military barracks for confinement

There used to be a newspaper called "Nihon Shimbun" For prisoners of war, published in Khabarovsky

These things were published So all the camp headquarters are aware of the situation

This is for the prisoners who were in there left a good impression

This place has witnessed many wartime memories

Memories of the Japanese who died in this place

This monument will become a historical symbol across time

And those in the war Or people dying in prison

But we also remember others

those in their prime people who lost their lives

for history Death and rebirth are equally important

all souls will be blessed by God

Hope they can rest in peace
