The Japanese really weren't nice people in WW2. They made the Nazis look quite civilized.

Quote:
Thousands of men, women and children interned at prisoner of war camps were subjected to vivisection, often without anesthesia and usually ending with the death of the victim.[23] Vivisections were performed on prisoners after infecting them with various diseases. Researchers performed invasive surgery on prisoners, removing organs to study the effects of disease on the human body. These were conducted while the patients were alive because it was feared that the decomposition process would affect the results.[24] The infected and vivisected prisoners included men, women, children, and infants.[25]
Prisoners had limbs amputated in order to study blood loss. Those limbs that were removed were sometimes re-attached to the opposite sides of the body. Some prisoners' limbs were frozen and amputated, while others had limbs frozen, then thawed to study the effects of the resultant untreated gangrene and rotting.
Some prisoners had their stomachs surgically removed and the oesophagus reattached to the intestines. Parts of the brain, lungs, liver, etc., were removed from some prisoners

Many of the victims were Russian. The sickest thing perhaps is that the Americans whitewashed the crimes at the end of the war and the doctor in charge of the unit and who personally conducted many of the 'experiments' was never prosecuted and continued to work as a doctor.
It also explains why all of Japan's neighbours will always be fearful of the Japanese military. Korea was occupied by Japan over 100 years ago.
