Did Shimadzu Japs aid attack on Pearl Harbor???


Shimadzu and World War II 

The following email was received by us on June 23, 1997:

Subject: Shimadzu activity during WW II

Shimadzu claims to be an old company.... did they make instruments for
the Nazi's or were their instruments involved with American troop
experiments the Japanese conducted? Any history info for WW II?


n.b. In reviewing the historical highlights of Shimadzu, there is a
gapping void in the company timeline from 1936 (when aircraft
equipment manufacturing started at Shimadzu) to 1947 according to
published corporate archives. One has to wonder what was going on in
Japan at Shimadzu during this bellicose period of 11 years? Did any of
Shimadzu's aircraft equipment or technology find its way into Japanese
aircraft or aircraft carriers which were used to wage a surprise
attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941?

n.b. Unfortunately, we are unaware of Shimadzu's brazen activities
during World War II but we would enthusiastically welcome any useful
and accurate contributions! Shouldn't customers from all over the
world be made aware of any unscrupulous activities involving Shimadzu
and the Axis powers during World War II.... particularly if they
willfully and deliberately alienated a race, religion, ethnic
background or nation of citizens!
