Operation Paperclip et al

Don't forget Japanese Unit 731, all the scientists involved were whisked away to the US if they would give up their research on human subjects to the US military and help translate.

  • Is any of that declassified now? Did we actually learn anything other than 'causing pain causes pain'?

    • there's a lot of "these are some tested to failure limits for humans" results that are of use in medical settings, but they aren't really needed and end up being more of a "fatal dose" style measure.

      The most used one I've heard about is studying hypothermia because they took quite detailed notes on the different stages and how the body reacted.
