Japanese Dissected Captured American Pilots ALIVE During World War Two

From the Daily Mail:

A Japanese university has opened a museum acknowledging that its staff dissected downed American airmen while they were still alive during World War Two – an unprecedented step in a society where war crimes are still taboo and rarely discussed.

A gruesome display at the newly-opened museum at Kyushu University explains how eight US POWs were taken to the centre’s medical school in Fukuoka after their plane was shot down over the skies of Japan in May 1945.

There, they were subjected to horrific medical experiments – as doctors dissected one soldier’s brain to see if epilepsy could be controlled by surgery, and removed parts of the livers of other prisoners as part of tests to see if they would survive.

Another soldier was injected with seawater, in an experiment to see if it could be used instead of sterile saline solution to help dehydration. All of the soldiers died from their ordeal.
