Unit 731 is one of WWII's lesser known horrors. Imperial Japan's covert biological warfare research and development unit that engaged in brutal and inhumane experimentation on victims known as "logs."

These prisoners were infected with pathogens, deadly diseases from dysentery to the plague, studied and vivisected, all for the good of the Empire, and spearheaded by the sinister microbiologist Shiro Ishii.

Ilse Koch is one of the most notorious women of the Third Reich, a women whose crimes were so heinous, she would be known worldwide as the Bitch of Buchenwald, stories of her deeds printed in newspapers across the world.

But did this woman really parade around the slave labour camp in nothing but lingerie, was she riding around the camp on her horse selecting prisoners for punishment and worst of all, did she take the skin of tattooed prisoners and had them turned into lampshades?

Aaron Burr is a man you may know as the guy who lost a popularity contest to Thomas Jefferson and then shot a guy who rap-sings. But the story of Aaron Burr, Sir, is much more interesting that Lin Manuel Miranda put on the stage. So curl up with your cocoa and lets hear all about Aaron Burr!
