Quotes by R.G. Grant (?)

“Japonya İkinci Dünya Savaşı'nda biyolojik silah kullanan tek ülkeydi. Silahlar kara kuvvetlerinin Mançurya'daki 731 No.lu Biriminde geliştirilmişti. Hıyarcıklı vebadan şarbona, kolera, tifoya kadar enfeksiyona yol açan muhtelif maddeler uçakla dağıtılacak sprey ve seramik bombalara dönüştürüldü. Japonlar bu silahları hususiyetle Çinlilere karşı kullandılar. Örneğin 1940 yılında veba bulaştırılmış bitler uçakla Ningbo'ya atılarak büyük bir salgın tetiklendi. 1942'de Doolittle Akını'na katılan Amerikan havacılarına ettikleri yardıma cevaben misilleme olarak Ciciang köylülerine karşı biyolojik silahlara başvuruldu. Tokyo'nun biyolojik savaşı en az dört yüz bin cana mal oldu.

Buna mukabil bu alanda dünya liderliğini İngilizler ile Amerikanlar paylaşıyordu. 1941 itibarıyla İngiltere'nin elinde biyolojik silah mevcuttu ve ABD İngilizlerin uzmanlığından istifa ederek Maryland'de büyük bir bakteriyolojik savaş tesisi geliştirdi. Japonların teslim oluşuyla 731 No.lu Birim uzmanlarının birkaçı, deney verilerini Amerika'ya vermesi karşılığında yargılamadan muaf tutuldu.”
