What happens when wartime atrocities don’t end… they just get absorbed?On Episode 165 of The TLB Podcast, James speaks with Jenny Chan of PacificAtrocities.org for a direct look at Unit 731, wartime experimentation, and the parts of World War II history that rarely get discussed in full.They get into the origins and operations of Unit 731, the scale of human experimentation, and how these programs fit into the broader context of biological warfare and wartime science. The conversation moves beyond the events themselves into what happened after — including the transfer of knowledge, lack of accountability, and the integration of wartime research into post-war systems.They also explore the long-term impact on modern geopolitics, propaganda, and historical narratives, and how certain parts of history are emphasized while others are minimized or ignored entirely.Basically: war crimes, scientific ethics, post-war power structures… and the question of what actually gets remembered versus what gets buried.Support the ShowEarly access on Patreon → https://tinyurl.com/mva2z9seAudio-only on Spotify → https://tinyurl.com/ytfnwx6sConnect with Jenny ChanYouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@pacificfrontuntoldInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/pacificatrocitiesedu/Website → https://www.pacificatrocities.orgChapters00:00 – Jenny Chan & Pacific Atrocities02:00 – Journey into Pacific War History06:20 – Challenges of Documenting History09:58 – Unit 731 Overview18:32 – Human Experimentation35:34 – Lasting Impacts of Unit 73144:35 – Scientific Legacy and Data Use45:29 – Biological Warfare Programs49:20 – Japan’s Historical Accountability53:01 – Post-War Paradoxes01:01:03 – Terrorism, Propaganda, and Evolution01:10:59 – Historical Narratives and Influence01:17:35 – Lessons from History#Unit731 #WWIIHistory #WarCrimes #BiologicalWarfare #HiddenHistory #PacificWar #JennyChan #Geopolitics #Propaganda #TheTLBPodSupport the showPatreon Tiktok Instagram YouTube
