A large majority of the scientists  serving in this unit were ultimately protected from increasingly angry war crime prosecuters, some of whom later resigned in disgust, as their vociferous demands that they be handed over to face justice were either outright ignored or lied to. 

Instead in return for their cooperation, much as was d
