Unit 731 was located at the POW camp in Tientsin, China. Horrendous experiments, including vivesection on unanaesthized prisoners, were performed. The unit's primary mission was biological weapons development. Most of the victims of this program were Chinese prisoners; however, there is much to suggest that American POW's held in the camp were also experimented on. \n\nAfter the war, many of the doctors at Unit 731, men who were every bit as guilty of evil as Mengele, escaped prosecution for war crimes by agreeing to help the US start its biological weapons program. So, just as Werner Von Braun, the Nazi scientist who was responsible for the deaths of at least 300,000 British due to his creation, the V-2 missle, escaped prosecution to jumpstart America's missile development and ultimately to become the father of NASA; so too then, Dr. Ishii, the leader of Unit 731, a man who is responsible for the deaths of a few hundred thousand Chinese prisoners and a few thousand American POW's, not to mention permanently contaminating regions of China that to this day have drug-resistant superstrains of plague and other diseases...Dr. Ishii escaped justice with the help of the US to help jumpstart the American biological weapons program. And, to this day, the Japanese still honour the memorial erected in Dr. Ishii's memory.

I would try the moving pictures branch at the National Archives.  They have all the footage taken by government agencies and newsreels made during the war.\nThe archives also has all correpsondence relating to POW's in its collection.  \nThe historical records of the 1st cavalry records for the Korean War are in the collection of the National Archives too.  I have examined them for the period that you mentioned.  Send me a P/M and I will try and get copies to you.  I have a relative that was in company E, 8th Cavalry and is MIA since 3 September 1950.

hi, if you mean German Prisoner of wars you could try looking at 'Grizedale Forrest' (it's in the lake district) website because that used to be a prisoner of war camp, because some of them tried to escape!!  other than that try looking in history journals!  Your college should have some in that could help you!
