Shirō Ishii 1892-1959 <a href="http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/shiro-ishii.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/shiro-ishii-tm.jpg?w=210&h=300" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Ishii was a microbiologist and the lieutenant general of Unit 731, a  biological warfare unit of the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second  Sino-Japanese War. He was born in the former Shibayama Village of Sanbu  District in Chiba Prefecture, and studied medicine at Kyoto Imperial  University. In 1932, he began his preliminary experiments in biological  warfare as a secret project for the Japanese military. In 1936, Unit 731  was formed. Ishii built a huge compound — more than 150 buildings over  six square kilometers — outside the city of Harbin, China. Some of the numerous atrocities committed by Ishii and others under  his command in Unit 731 include: vivisection of living people (including  pregnant women who were impregnated by the doctors), prisoners had  limbs amputated and reattached to other parts of their body, some  prisoners had parts of their bodies frozen and thawed to study the  resulting untreated gangrene.  Humans were also used as living test  cases for grenades and flame throwers. Prisoners were injected with  inoculations of disease, disguised as vaccinations, to study their  effects. To study the effects of untreated venereal diseases, male and  female prisoners were deliberately infected with syphilis and gonorrhea  via rape, then studied.  A complete list of these horrors can be found <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731" target="_blank">here</a>. Having been granted immunity by the American Occupation Authorities  at the end of the war, Ishii never spent any time in jail for his crimes  and died at the age of 67 of throat cancer.</blockquote>
