Sort of. My understanding is that the Japanese "Unit 731" did lots of "experiments" on mostly Chinese. We didn't prosecute them as long as they agreed to give us their research.

Yes, there were also Americans (pilots and flight crews) that were experimented on while they were alive. I believe some of the folks involved in that were tried and hanged. I believe, based on what I've read, that this was a much more limited incident of a relative handful of people (compared to lots and lots of Chinese).
