There were many during the war. The most famous, from an American perspective, is probably the Bataan Death March, which happened in 1942 in the Philippines. Japanese soldiers forced captured American and Filipino soldiers to march 80 miles from Bataan to a prisoner camp, and hundreds (maybe even thousands) of these prisoners died due to ill treatment during the march.
There were also others. For example, as the Soviets started "liberating" German occupied zones in eastern Europe, the Germans would force concentration camp prisoners to go on death marches to camps closer to Germany. The Japanese also had somewhat similar marches (besides the Bataan one). Even those who fought against the Axis Powers were not above having them- notably, in Brno, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic), thousands of Germans were forced to leave because the Czechs were upset at what the Nazis had done to them during the war.
