remember when Kurt Blome the chief Nazi scientist in charge of human experimentation as it pertained to biological and chemical warfare and which included things such as spraying concentration camp prisoners with sarin gas as well as deliberately infecting them with malaria, bubonic plague, typhus and other diseases to try and find various ways to weaponize diseases in addition to giving cancer to prisoners and when he was captured at the end of the war and stood trial at Nuremberg the US government meddled in his trial to get him acquitted so he could be recruited for Operation Paperclip and conduct biological warfare studies for the US and his official US military file omitted mention of him having been prosecuted at Nuremberg

Didn’t like… an absolute ton of Japanese scientists from Unit 731 end up recruited by the US instead of getting prosecuted, too?

Not only that but the fact that the Soviets actually did prosecute the Unit 731 scientists they had captured resulted in the official American line being that claims of torture and human experimentation were fabricated communist propaganda

The aftermath to the cover-up of Japanese medical war crimes has been extensively documented elsewhere.^1,9,10,27 Unlike the U.S., the Soviet Union tried twelve captured Japanese military personnel from Unit 731 in Khabarovsk for war crimes and later published the proceedings.^1,10,28 U.S. authorities dismissed the proceedings as communist propaganda, though in hindsight the information presented was reasonably accurate.^10,29 The relatively light sentences given to the perpetrators, compared to the seriousness of the charges against them, suggested that the Soviets, like the Americans, traded leniency for access to data.^1,10
