The Japanese officer who was in command to the Bataan Death March survived the war and was never punished. He later served in the Japanese parliament and died of natural causes at a ripe old age. After the Japanese announced their surrender they had about two weeks to burn and destroy evidence before the allied occupation forces arrived.

The Germans admitted what they did and cooperated in rounding up the criminals.

It seems most Japanese believe no war crimes were committed in the Pacific-Asian theater. Total denial.
