Statement of Morimoto (22 August 1947) 3rd series ? - Lung operation, Ishiyama spoke to two Japanese Staff Officers, one of whom was Sato. Since he (Komori) was interested interested in the advancement of medical research at KIU he could have asked Sato to release the Prisoners to him so that he could perform experimental operations. It is Morimoto's opinion that permission to release the Prisoners to KIU for experimental operations would have to come from someone higher in rank than Sato. [Marginal Note: no ] After the surrender Sato went to KIU to speak to Ishiyama, who was not in his room, so Sato went to see Torisu, who was also absent, then came to Morimoto, told him to tell Ishiyama that WAH had devised a plan and had made a report to Tokyo stating that the PWs that had been sent to the University for experimental operations were sent to Hiroshima and died there.
