The Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia for the first time declassified documents on the tests of bio-reducing special services of Japan on the USSR citizens during the Second World War, published by the names of prisoners of war. It is reported by RIA Novosti.
It is noted that the Japanese special services were unable to force the prisoners of war against the USSR under torture, after which they were sent to a special detachment of the 731st Kwantung army in 1945, which was commanded by Lieutenant-General Siro Issi. In the detachment on Soviet citizens, bacteriological weapons were experiencing, the main Japanese facilities on its development were focused on Manchuria, after the liberation of which Soviet troops rescued the world from “bacteriological war”.
Among the archival materials, including protocols of interrogations of the head of the Khoine concentration camp, Iosio of Izzyma and his deputy, head of the information and investigative department of the concentration camp Kendie Yamagisi, held within the framework of the Khabarovsk process. At the interrogation in June 1948, Izzima said that the camp was designed for 150 people, it contained only Russian men, among them the Soviet pilots and civilian Soviet persons captured by the Japanese at the border were randomly landed on the territory of Manchuria. Yamagisi, in turn, said that various experiments were made over Soviet people “in order to test the action of new chemical poisoning substances and bacteriological means.”
In 1930-1945, several thousand Soviet citizens were in captivity of the Japanese. Among them, the redarmeys who were considered missing during the battles on the Hassan lake in 1938 and the Khalkhin-goal river in 1939. Many Soviet citizens, who were in Manchuria, were placed in the Khoine concentration camp (“shelter”) in the Harban area. Prisoners sent on experiences.
