No one was tried for a war crime for dropping the atom bombs. The definition of a war crime is as follows from the Legal Dictionary:
Any of various crimes, such as genocide or the mistreatment of prisoners of war, committed during a war and considered in violation of the conventions of warfare.
Now in light of that definition dropping a bomb on an enemy territory is part of the conventions of war. Therefore dropping the atom bombs was not a war crime. Now the crimes against the Jews and the POWs and the Filipinos were war crimes.
