Concealment of Experimentation

Unit 731 was formally known as the Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department of the Kwantung Army to Japan, and the bioweapons laboratories in Manchuria were disguised as lumber mills.
After the conclusion of World War II, Unit 731 scrambled to erase all traces of human experimentation in China.
