    The Germans had a number of "ratlines", i.e escape routes for Nazis fleeing to South Americans and other countries. I am not aware of similar organised groups in Japan to help Japanese war criminals such as POW camp commandants to 'disappear' only to continue as a successful citizen in post-war Japan.
    Is anyone aware of such https://speedtest.vet/ https://vidmate.bid/ Word to PDF - Convert Word to PDF Online - 100% Free attempts or any stories relating to Japanese war criminals later found out as wealthy or influential people in post-war Japan?

    Here is a good article to read...many of Japanese war criminals simply weren't prosecuted, due to the divine war orders of Emperor Hirohito and the systematic destruction of war records..too many got away with human atrocities that rivaled the nazi's in my opinion.
