“In 1945, a U.S. B-29 bomber was downed near the border between Kumamoto and Oita prefectures. Eight of the airmen were vivisected by doctors of the medical school.”

The description in the article is gruesome – not for the faint of heart. On the other hand, I think it’s important for succeeding generations to learn about what happened and think about the conditions and mental processes that allow human beings do such things to other human beings.
