According to what JCF posted the vast majority of them returned to Japan before 1950. It's well known that POWs are at times used as bargaining chips and some are kept even longer for various reasons, war crimes suspects ect. Some are executed such as Gen B Von Sass. I do know that a lot of POWs were kept in Russia to help rebuild, don't forget how many people she lost in that war. It does seem just that the people who tore it up should stick around and help out. It would be even more just if the people who started it were there also.

Those who were freed after many years (often up to the fifties) were often brainwashed with propaganda, or pretended to be to be allowed to go home.

Nonsense. What's the point? Maybe some were "brainwashed" (a word I do not think has any point in a civil debate) or convinced that there was a better way of doing things or something like that. What "brainwashing" was the author of this subjected too? When was he put in a dark room and bombarded with propaganda until his thought processes changed? Did they somehow alter the neural pathways and patterns for the brain? Did they use surgery or some kind of mysterious mind altering death ray of the socialist dialectic?
Sorry, I'll buy a dead cat on a chain before I give that concept any credibility.

Well since I have heard it is a Revisionist and a denial site along with being an Irving supporter site I would take what it says very much with a grain of salt.
