He was an Olympic champion athlete before the war - and he almost didn't make it through the ordeal.

A lot of Japanese war criminals got away with it.

The Japanese officer who was in command to the Bataan Death March survived the war and was never punished. He later served in the Japanese parliament and died of natural causes at a ripe old age. After the Japanese announced their surrender they had about two weeks to burn and destroy evidence before the allied occupation forces arrived.
