4. Evil WWII Microbiologist: Surgeon General Shiro Ishii

Surgeon General, Shiro Ishii, was the leader and co-founder of Unit 731; the deadliest research facility of the 20th century and one of the most barbaric chapters of WWII. In this episode, Carly and Tab unpack the actions of the “most evil scientist in history”, ranking above notorious Nazi doctors and Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer (the father of the atomic bomb) and contemplate what made him test on men, women and children…without remorse. Content warning: Explicit discussions of human experimentation and human casualties. Time points where discussions occur: 18:17-19:14, 28:20-33:15.
