    Reminder that nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki was also done for the purpose of human experimentation, they used 2 different kinds of nuclear bombs and wanted to see if there was any difference in how they affected the human body

    Even before absorbing the remnants of the axis after the war :amerikkka: was already just as evil as any of them

        As far as I understand, the difference in the two bombs was the just the detonation mechanism. One used a kind of gun and the other used implosion to unite the fissile materials. Richard Rhodes “the making of the atomic bomb” is also an excellent resource if your into more of the science

      Not human experimentation, but definitely weapons testing for yield.
