左双文教授在《国民政府与惩处日本战犯几个问题的再考察》一文中指出:战后国民政府对日本战犯的处置问题,是战后对日处置的一个重要方面。最初国民政府对这一问题甚为重视,在战时即成立了专门的调查机构,进行相应准备,战后亦投入了一定人力物力以策进行。但国民政府因为自身战略利益的需要,秉持蒋介石“以德报怨”的对日处理方针,对战犯的处理面与处罚度均作了严格控制,且对 Zuo Shuangwen pointed out in his article “A Review of Several Issues Concerning the National Government and Punishing Japanese War Criminals:” The post-war government’s handling of Japanese war criminals was an important aspect of the post-war disposal of Japan. Initially, the Kuomintang government attached great importance to this issue. During the wartime, a special investigation agency was set up and preparations were made accordingly. After the war, a certain amount of manpower and resources were put into action. However, because of the need of its own strategic interests, the National Government strictly controlled Chiang Kai-shek’s handling of Japan’s handling of Japan’s demands with respect to Japan and the handling of criminal prisoners and the degree of punishment.
