迎えにきたジープ p.038-039 The thing that I recall in Kobari’s words was a very detestable my own memory. I was in Hsinking at the end of the war, but was captured by Soviet troops at Gongzhuling.
迎えにきたジープ p.096-097 The Soviet army conducted a war crimes trial in the Khabarovsk military court for the preparation and use of bacterial weapons, with twelve defendants, including General Otozo Yamada. After that, even the Emperor was nominated as a bacterial war criminal.
迎えにきたジープ p.098-099 At the POW camp…A corpse piled up like mountain. A frozen corpse. Tangling hands and feet, bumping noses and ears. Swipe up the fingers and ears scattered on the ground and put them in the sled.
迎えにきたジープ p.100-101 It was quite natural that the POWs did not work. They can’t work. The prisoners were groaning to death after being attacked by a plague called “typhus fever”.
迎えにきたジープ p.104-105 For bacterial warfare, typhus fever was not fully understood in terms of infection rate, morbidity rate, mortality rate, prognostic war potential, etc., because large-scale experiments were not possible.
迎えにきたジープ p.106-107 It is said that one soldier became ill during transportation. Infect several people on a prisoner-of-war train and send them to each camp. What a big experiment!
迎えにきたジープ p.108-109 At the Khabarovsk Bureau of the Soviet NKVD, Capt. Kirikov was asking the former Educational Director of the 731st Division of the Kanto Army, Surgeon Lieutenant Colonel Mori.
迎えにきたジープ p.110-111 Of the 4000 POWs, 95% were infected with typhus fever and 30% died. There are 2,800 prisoners left. The treatment and whereabouts of the dead are unknown. The Soviet Union created a wartime POW list of only the surviving prisoners.
