There is no doubt that all of these so called “doctors” performed experiments that were unethical and inhuman. Although both of these men were not ethical they were similar in ways but they were also completely different in others. Dr. Josef Mengele performed human experiments to try and change people to a certain look by creating formulas and injecting people to change their physical appearance while Dr. Shiro Ishii conducted physiological experiments on human subjects, including vivisections, forced abortions, and simulated strokes, heart attacks, frostbite and hypothermia.

Many people perished from these awful experiments, but I believe that Ishii’s experiments where worse because he was trying to make people die or give them awful or painful diseases. Josef Mengele was trying to make his subjects into the blonde-haired, blue-eyed people that Hitler wanted at the time and most of his subjects died during the process.

According to research statistics, only a select few Japanese people were not tried for their war crimes.  All together there were 5725 people tried for 3 different classes of war crimes and the other individuals got off no charge but they went on national television and revealed their stories and experiences.

After watching the Nanking film, I have a whole new thought on the Japanese Imperial Army. I thought they were just an army like all the other armies fighting in WWII but I did not realize all of the horrific things they did.
