Unit 731

Unit 731 and the American Cover-Up The Second Sino-Japanese war began on July 7th, 1937 and ended on September 9th, 1945.

Controversies of prisoners of war The book “Unbroken” was a seemingly impossible tale of triumph and survival of an Olympic runner and WWII veteran named Louis Zamperini.
