On August 19th, 1945, Puyi was in a Waiting Room attempting to escape on a flight to Japan from the Shenyang Dongta Airport (situated in Manchuria – Northeast China). Together with Japanese Officials and a number of Imperial Japan’s Kwantung Army Generals – Puyi was captured by members of the Soviet Red Army Parachute Regiment (with NKVD Elements) – a Special Force despatched for this very important military operation! Many Soviet POWs had been captured by the Nazi Germans and sent to Manchuria – where they were illegally experimented upon by Unit 731 of the Imperial Japanese Army. Such Soviet prisoners were boiled alive, frozen to death, vivisected, castrated, and used in experiments testing various illnesses, gases, and munitions of all kinds. These Soviet men and women suffered alongside millions of Chinese people and other Asians – including a smaller number of Westerners. Despite the evil perpetuated by the machinations of Japanese fascism – the soldiers of the Soviet Red Army treated Puyi (and his Imperial Japanese allies) very well. Indeed, an NKVD Operative politely enquired of Puyi (in the Mancherian language), ‘Your Majesty – are you the Emperor of China?’
