Victims in the case said they felt they had been denied justice at every turn. Some members of Unit 731 became pillars in the Japanese medical and business communities after the war and were never prosecuted; in fact, they held regular reunions.
The United States made a secret deal to exempt the biological war crimes from the Tokyo trials held after the war, in exchange for the results of the gruesome experiments. The Japanese government denied the existence of the deal and the secret unit for years, and still insists in the face of journals, documents and testimony that it doesn't know what the unit did. Nationalist historians have gained increasing acceptance for accounts that diminish or omit the army's use of biological and chemical weapons against the Chinese.

"Its main purpose was to research, develop and produce biological weapons,'' said the ruling. "In order to do this, prisoners from the Chinese resistance forces were used as the subjects for experiments.''
During the five-year court case, Unit 731 veterans confessed to carrying out vivisections on humans; cultivating anthrax, typhoid, cholera, and other pathogens; and dropping plague-infected fleas over villages.
....
Elderly plaintiffs flew in from China and testified -- often in tears -- about their communities being ravaged by diseases that spread mysteriously after Japanese war planes had flown low and dropped wheat, rice or cotton infested with fleas.
After the war, the Japanese Army burned most of the facilities used by Unit 731. The United States granted immunity to Ishii and his colleagues in return for their research findings, and the unit was not mentioned during the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal...

{you have to open your mind to take this in, and it's like telepathy, like anything outside the consensus reality, the problem then becomes how far to open, and what they've done is scatter tinfoil across all their paths and trails, crop circles and weirdness of absurd dimension, so that the noise of newage imbeciles and delusional halfwits drowns out the groans of their victims. the idea that this only happened in Japan, that only there was there a deal for drooling scientists seeing their shot at the blood-caked brass ring...but not Germany, oh no. Kesey showed up at one point in a survival suit, like the michelin man, bobbing in the Arctic waters off Alaska somewhere, and I don't remember enough to quote but I remember there was this attempt to end the debate, that even though the research that made the survival suit possible was done in the holding pens of the Final Solution, it was like, hey, the information's there, we might as well use it, right? yeah hey why not? in fact let's forget any kind of moral distinction, let's just do what occurs to us, what we have to do to survive no matter what, but then of course you have no moral position when a superior force wipes your sorry scum-existence off the planet. it's a Luddite move to deny the knowledge, right? but they got that knowledge by using 6 million Anne Franks like laboratory mice, it's the same inclined plane America has been slipping down for over 200 years, the idea that the passage of years somehow cleanses bestial crime, there's something at the heart of that, something that makes it possible to profit from inhuman and ungodly nightmares like Unit 731 and the Mengelian laboratories, or the Red Holocaust of 19th century America, the idea that there's a statute of limitations on horror, enough time goes by, and like magic- hey presto! moral purity is ours again.
no. all regrets but no.}
