Imperial Japan Germ War-Fare Unit 1644

China: Memorial Hall of Victims Obtains “Roster” of Japanese Germ-Warfare Unit 1644! (14.6.2025)

“The roster reaffirms the ironclad evidence of Japanese militarism’s biological warfare crimes,” Zhou added. “We will deepen archival research and integrate these materials into exhibitions and historical education to speak with facts, uphold a correct perspective on WWII history, and defend justice and peace.”

Lyu Jing, associate professor of history at Nanjing University, noted that the roster enables “systematic research on the unit and uncovering the structure of Japan’s germ-warfare system,” adding that preserved Unit 1644 sites could “advance heritage protection and promote public memory reconstruction and peace education.”

The acquisition followed Japan’s National Archives’ first public display of the rosters of Unit 1644, Unit 8604, and Unit 8609 on May 14. During the invasion of China, the Japanese military established several biological warfare units to launch attacks, among which was the notorious Unit 731 in northeast China.

China: New Evidence of Japanese Germ Warfare Unit 731 on Display! (14.12.2022)

“The new display further shapes up an evidence chain of the germ research and human experiments conducted by Unit 731,” said Jin.

Among them is a roster of the unit affiliated with the Japanese Kwantung Army, showing Unit 731 had a total of 3,497 members.

At least 3,000 people died at the unit’s base in Harbin alone between 1939 and 1945, mostly in experiments for the development of biological weapons.

In more than 30 years of archaeological excavations and research, the museum has collected nearly 100,000 pieces of artifacts and historical documents in seven categories.

“By presenting the evidence and disclosing the crimes, we enhance the international influence of the museum to remind the public of the past and safeguard peace. It’s not only important for Chinese but also meaningful for all humanity,” said the curator.

US Cold War Disinformation: Operation Infektion

At a time when modern Russia is satiated with the nonsense of the bourgeois imagination (imported from the West after 1991), and given that Russians now discuss all kinds of conspiracy theory, none participate in the discussion of the Soviet Union ‘blaming’ the US for HIV – even when they indulge the equally bizarre idea that HIV might not be’ real’! There was no ‘Operation Infektion’ and its narrative originates entirely within the imagination of the Western bourgeois psyche.
