Unit Ei 1644 (Japanese: 栄1644部隊), also known as Unit 1644, was one of the water purification centers established underneath the Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department.
An anonymous "researcher" who claims he was attached to Unit 1644 says that it regularly carried out human vivisections as well as infecting humans with cholera, typhus, and bubonic plague. According to Hal Gold, who included this report in the book Unit 731 - Testimony in 1996, this "researcher" said he would soon publish his complete testimony, but as of yet no such testimony has been released.
Famous quotes containing the word unit:
“During the Suffragette revolt of 1913 I ... [urged] that what was needed was not the vote, but a constitutional amendment enacting that all representative bodies shall consist of women and men in equal numbers, whether elected or nominated or coopted or registered or picked up in the street like a coroner’s jury. In the case of elected bodies the only way of effecting this is by the Coupled Vote. The representative unit must not be a man or a woman but a man and a woman.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
