Everyone is posting those reports from WW2 about Axis commanders murdering allied survivors/surrendered soldiers and sailors and being tried for their crimes.

Cool.

But no one is posting stories about the allied forces getting tried for the same crimes - despite many examples of it happening.

Because all of those examples ended up with quiet court marshals or just dismissal of charges.

Heck there were zero soviet cases because their policy was Soviets cannot commit war crimes.
