There were plenty of crimes committed by everybody, but the real
horrifying ones tended to be German or Japanese.

Moreover, lots of people on the Allied side were prosecuted and
convicted. You normally don't hear about them much, because they
weren't the leaders.

Most of the Western Allied leaders fought pretty much legally and
cleanly, and there was no reason to prosecute them. This is not
true of many of the top Germans and Japanese.
