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.

Australian POWs were treated as appallingly as other whites in Japanese camps. They were used as slave labour.

The Japanese considered surrender by their own soldiers a disgrace and liable to extreme punishment. They considered enemy prisoners the same way, and used them as slave labour. Some were executed wantonly.
If you would care to read the documents on the Australian POW's in Germany were much better treated, in a more humane way then the ways that the Japanese were treating the Australians. Although it still must be looked upon. Hope I Could help :)

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.
