“在日本作为活体实验用了美国人战俘,根据新博物馆”

"American POWs used for live experiments in Japan, according to new museum"

If this is true, it obviously constitutes war crimes. But we are now in the middle of a blazing information war. Nothing can be taken at face value. Museums often are nothing more than props. The Chinese have taught us that if you want to make something 'real', just make a statue and a museum and invite the press.


如果这是真的,它显然构成战争罪。但是我们现在在一个炽热的情报战中。不能只相信事情表面。博物馆往往只是个道具而已。中国的行动已经告诉我们,如果你想让一些事情成为“真实的”,只要建一个雕像和一个博物馆,然后邀请媒体来就可以了。

> A university museum in Japan has broken a seven-decade taboo on discussing the dissection of live US prisoners of war by medical personnel towards the end of the Second World War.

This description is not appropriate though Kyodo News (the same breed with Asahi Shimbun) seems to provide this news.

In Taketa, Oita Prefecture, cenotaph was erected and Memorial service is held every year. The only survivor of the B-29, Captain Mervin S. Watkins met Toshio Higashino who was witness as an assistant medical students and wrote a book about this incident and was instrumental for the cenotaph.
