Tokyo Court Confirms Japan
Used Germ Warfare in China
Although the Soviet Union tried 12 Unit 731
members in 1949, their gruesome accounts at the
trial were dismissed by the United
States as Cold War propaganda. In 1981, an
American journalist revealed the agreement
between the United States and Japan not to
prosecute Unit 731 members. The following year,
author Seiichi Morimura exposed the unit's
history to Japanese in "The Devil's Gluttony."
