A new collection of historical records about Unit 731, the notorious Japanese germ warfare division during World War II (WWII), was released on August 12 by the Exhibition Hall of Evidences of Crime Committed by Unit 731 of the Japanese Imperial Army in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, providing further evidence of Japan's war atrocities in China.
The records included a 70-minute oral testimony from Hitoshi Tanizaki, a former medic at the Hailar branch of Unit 731, as well as Japanese military personnel files containing key information on 156 members of the branch.
