This weeks episode we discuss the declassified cover-up of Unit 731 in the Japanese occupation of Manchuria China during WWII. Unit 731 carried out some of history’s most grotesque human experimentation and biological warfare during the war. Discover the true history of Unit 731, about the hidden atrocities of World War II and how these secret military units were able to avoid war crimes. What is unit 731? We do our best to shed a little light on a very dark moment in our history in this instalment of The Darkives.

Listener discretion advised: these events are as disturbing as they are important to remember.
