I don't know for sure since I was not around back then but there seems to have been alot of apathey at the end of the war for "justice" for a lack of a better word. Many nazis were able to leave the country and go to South America or the USA and Japanese war criminals got off for the most part. Seems like the survivors of the war just wanted to put it behind them and get on with their lives and not pursue any retribitutration to the losers, except for the Russians. They kept their Germans up to 1955 and few survived.
Seems to be the same way after Korea and Viet Nam. Our government does not want to force the Chinese or Russians to account for the POW's it took into their country for interigotion and execution.
