And I hope this doesn't mean what it sounds like :
"In Japan, not one was brought to justice. In a secret deal, the post-war American administration gave them immunity for prosecution in return for details of their experiments."

The USA not only gave the Japanese perps immunity, it actively covered-up and whitewashed the atrocities in exchange for them giving their experimentation data to only us and not our allies. Few American prisoners of war were believed to have been victimized this way. Victims were mostly nationals of other countries to include even some Japanese domestic prisoners, destitute, and mentally disturbed people. This; also, that the Japanese did a good job of destroying evidence of what happened, made it easy for the USA to become beneficially complicit in the aftermath. The information gained was eventually determined to be not of significant value.
