POW's survived the reign of the Japanese by comforting each other, using their personal resolve, and believing that they would be rescued. Despite harsh conditions and treatment, many POW's were eventually freed.

Did Japanese pow fight for the allies?

Japanese POWs (prisoners of war) during World War II generally did not fight for the Allies. Instead, they were held captive by Allied forces, primarily in the Pacific Theater. While there were some exceptions of individuals who may have defected or collaborated for various reasons, the majority of Japanese POWs were not integrated into Allied military efforts and instead faced harsh conditions in captivity.

What was the difference between Australian POW's caught by the Japanese and POW's caught by the Germans?

Japanese treatment of POW's was far more brutal when compared to German treatment of POWs (bear in mind, Aussies were not of the same ethnicity as Pole or Russian soldiers, who received the worst treatment from Germans). Japan used POWs for slave labor (eg:Burma-Thai Railroad, "Bridge over River Kwai") and were subjected to vivisections, experiments, and overall barbaric treatment. A simple statistic illustrates the difference most clearly. 98% of POWs returned from German POW camps 73% returned from Japanese camps.
