War Crimes Trials

As the extent of Japanese atrocities became known, war crimes proceedings were commenced. A list of the worst atrocities can be consulted at www.expows.com  under “Japanese WWII Atrocities” – “Massacres of WWII”. For the most part these do not include the inhumane treatment used in many of the POW camps.

The results of the trials can be consulted at http://members.fortunecity.com/dikigoros/japanwartrials.htm
