David Price: How US Anthropologists Planned "Race-Specific" Weapons Against the Japanese:

"...describe one 1943 OSS document, the 'Preliminary Report on Japanese Anthropology,' which which reveals that World War II-era anthropologists were recommending culture- and race-specific means of killing Japanese soldiers and civilians. This report sought to determine if there were 'physical characteristics in which the Japanese differ from others in such a way as to make these differences significant from the point of view of carrying on the war'. The person who write this report remains remains classified, but a list of scholars consulted by OSS includes anthropologists such as Clyde Kluckhohn, Fred Hulse, Duncan Strong, Ernest Hooton, C. M. Davenport, Wesley Dupertuis, and Morris Steggerda."
