The improbabilities and inconsistencies in the
biological warfare allegations presented previously lead to a conclusion that biological warfare in Korea did not
occur.Were these allegations merely a propaganda, which
does not require any further study?
A prominent American historian, Kathryn Weathersby
found in Moscow and translated into English many crucial
documents of the Soviet era, which are published in
Bulletin of Woodrow Wilson International Center for
Scholars. In the issue 6-7 (winter 1995/1996) on
page 75 a ciphered telegram of Mao Zedong to Stalin of
February 8, 1952 is published with information about a
conversation of Mao Zedong with the Korean Foreign Minister who said that the Koreans did not want to fight, they wanted peace.
Pracki talked in Pyongyang and Dai Dong to local
folks who were very upset about biological warfare. "The
Americans want to kill us all and our children. You have to
tell it to the whole world".The Koreans were convinced that
they had to fight,or they would be killed. This was the aim
of the biological warfare intrigue.
Today in the US the biological warfare allegations
are forgotten so is the Korean war in which 54,000
Americans were killed. Only in 1995 a Korean War Memorial
was erected. But North Korea did not forget the
allegations. They were repeated in 1993 and 1994 and are
reported in 1994 Bulletin of Chemical Weapons Convention
The biological warfare allegations against the
American government were forgotten because there was no
evidence to definitely reject them. This page has evidence, but it is far from complete.
There are hypotheses, which were not confirmed, questions, which were not answered. There is urgent need to get information from the archives. Korean archives are not open, but the archives in Warsaw and Moscow which were not explored are open.
My study until now was not performed singlehanded.
I had assistance of friends and colleagues in the US, in
Poland, in England, France, Switzerland. I was able
to get in Poland into the archives of the Polish Academy of Science, archives of New Documents, archives of the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, archives of the Ministry of Defence. In 1994, when I recently visited
Poland, the access to the archives of the Ministry of
Security was refused to me.These archives are accessible
now. At the International Conference on the Korean War in Washington DC
in 1995 I met a prominent Russian scholar, Evgueni Bashanov
who promised assistance in exploring Russian archives. All
I have to do is to visit Warsaw and Moscow, where I hope
this study can be completed
