HARBIN, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- Two rosters of Japanese army hospitals that cooperated with Unit 731, a Japanese germ warfare army during World War II, has gone on public display for the first time in Harbin, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province.
The new evidence of "crimes committed by Unit 731 through military-medical coordination" was made public on Sunday by the Exhibition Hall of Evidences of Crime Committed by Unit 731 of the Japanese Imperial Army, which is located in Harbin, as China marks the 78th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
The rosters contained lists of names of staff members from 24 Japanese army hospitals in Chinese cities, including Harbin, Dalian, and Mudanjiang.↳
Six pages in length, and classified as a military secret, the rosters were compiled by the Japanese Kwantung Army in August 1940, and discovered in the National Archives of Japan as a result of the cooperation of the exhibition hall and Japanese scholar Seiya Matsuno.
