Saved many lives ? Man if it did I would like sources because the methodology seemed bunk af, most of what they found out was already pretty well documented through much more ethical means.
Sure, plenty of documentation about the condition itself, but not on treating it, not until then. You should do a deep dive into wartime inventions, if you can stomach it.
Edit: Im super autistic, so if this came across rude, that was not my intention. I genuinely find these kinds of morbidly interesting stories fascinating, as long as I have a degree of separation.
Historian Till Winfried Bärnighausen criticized the overall lack of scientific rigor in many of Unit 731's experiments, but he noted some exceptions. He pointed to the mustard gas, freezing, and tuberculosis experiments as having a reliable and valid data collection process, suggesting they were conducted with greater rigor.[43]
That sounds like they did produce some useful data on effects of cold on the human body.
