U.S. wages germ warfare in Korea; statements of prisoners of war (1953) By Colonel Frank H. Schwable and Major Roy H. Bley, U.S. Marine Corps.'
On February 22, a Communist bombshell revelation took place when the Chinese government released transcripts of “depositions” by “two field-grade American Marine officers attesting to their direction of various phases of the Bio-Weapons campaign.” The officers were Col. Frank Schwable and Major Roy Bley, both of the U.S. Marine Corps.
Schwable, as Chief of Staff of the First Marine Air Wing, was the highest-ranking prisoner of war to confess in detail about the U.S. biological warfare campaign in North Korea and China during the Korean War. He described in three “confessions” or depositions how that campaign evolved, what the men undertaking it felt about the campaign, the “effectiveness” of the use of bioweapons, and the security surrounding the covert use of bacteriological weapons. It was a stunning blow.
Col. Schwable subsequently retracted his confession, under threat of possible court-martial and other legal proceedings against him by the U.S. government.
