Throughout the Second World War there were many war crimes committed by the Japanese Army. It's estimated that the Japanese Army were responsible for the deaths of between 3-14 million civilians and Prisoners of War during the conflict, and they treated people terribly. One man who was executed after the war for his alleged involvement in Japanese War Crimes was General Yamashita, a man who is considered one of the better Japanese generals. Yamashita's involvement in war crimes and crimes against humanity is disputed, and it was known that he did punish those who committed needless atrocities.
But Yamashita was seen as a butcher, and as a man who's soldiers were feral and barbaric slaughters and murderers. For the fact he could not allegedly control his soldiers, he was sentenced to death by the Americans at the end of World War 2. He was executed based on command principle, that he was in command so therefore was to blame. On a gallows inside of a prison in Manila, a city where it's believed 100,000 civilians died, General Yamashita was executed.
