Julius Streicher was behind many of the prewar antisemitic laws in Germany. He destroyed the synagogue at Nuremberg in 1938, seized Jewish property, and beat Jews with a bullwhip. He was hung in 1945 for crimes against humanity

Yasuhiko Asaka organised the Rape of Nanking to punish the Chinese, ordering his troops to "kill them all." He was never punished due to his royal blood, although he lost his title in 1947

Allied propagandists depicted Herman Goring as a flamboyant, comical figure. However, the real Goring was a greedy and cruel monster. He looted the captured territories of art for his personal collection, formed the Gestapo, and deliberately bombed civilians in London and Coventry

Alois Brunner deported over 50000 Jews to the death camps and shot the financier Sigmund Bosel, despite the old man being very sick and weak. After the war Brunner escaped to Syria, where he worked as a torturer for the Baath dictatorship and lived under the pseudonym Dr Fisher until he died in 1996

Franz Stangl (centre) was commandant of Treblinka death camp. He killed over 900000 people when he oversaw the T-4 euthanasia program. After the war he escaped to Brazil and wasn't caught until 1967. He died of heart failure four years later

Albert Heim aka "Dr Death" left Germany in 1962 and remains at large. His crimes include mass-murder and sick experiments on Mauthausen's Jewish inmates. If this torturer is still alive he would be 94 now

I want to commend my friend Nick for his work here.....all to often history lulls us to sleep. Perhaps it's her way of protecting us from the horror we perpetuate amongst ourselves.....but don't be fooled.
 
The bitch is wide awake. And she will report even when threatened with revisonism.
 
Now my only complaint is widen it to include others of the era and context. But ole Nick knew I cant never be satisfied.....must be the Cav in me.LOL

U-Boat commander Heinz Eck (left) sank a Greek steamship in 1944, then massacred the survivors to prevent them alerting allied planes.

More eyewitness accounts of Japanese atrocities. How could they be so cruel?

Other countries' soldiers could also be cruel, but few (not even the Russians) matched the Germans and Japanese in senseless brutality

Wasn't he in charge of Unit 731 at Harbin?

Giving monsters immunity is nothing new.  The American military gladly traded for the data from the horrific Luftwaffe Medical experiments, which were so bad that the Luftwaffe officers refused to be associated with the testing in any way.

And Operation Paperclip welcomed Nazis into our midst, including people like Werner von Braun.

On the contrary, the Russians more than matched the brutality of the Germans and the Japanese, against their own people as well as their enemies.

Unfortunately, the Allies practiced unrestricted bombing of civilians throughout the war (including the Americans) and we looted German museums and all of their technology afterwards.

Goering was no worse that Bomber Harris against the Germans or American General LeMay against the population of Japan.
