Video reveals new evidence of Japan's bacterial dispersal experiments in China

The Exhibition Hall of Evidences of Crime Committed by Unit 731 of the Japanese Imperial Army on Thursday released a 38-minute testimony video featuring a former member of the notorious Japanese germ-warfare unit during World War II. The video was recorded in 1997 by Japanese scholar Fuyuko Nishisato and donated to the exhibition hall in 2019. In the video, former Unit 731 member Tsuruo Nishijima described how the unit used meteorological data to spread bacteria and conduct frostbite experiments.

Nishijima confirmed in the footage that "the meteorological squad had to be present at every field experiment." He testified to the "rainfall experiments" conducted by Unit 731, which involved aircraft releasing bacterial agents at extremely low altitudes.
