I think that it's entirely inaccurate to see "nobody is good" as "both sides were equal." The Axis were aggressors that began Big Damn Wars and sought wars of annihilation followed regimes built on force that showed they could not be trusted. The USSR did adhere to treaties it signed, albeit mostly in a Literal Genie fashion. Nazi Germany did not adhere to any treaties.
Imperial Japan ended colonization in Asia.....by an example that made it impossible to hold onto the colonies *after the war.* Had the Axis won, Japanese colonialism would have brought the fruits of Unit 731 to Asia to replace that of the colonial empires.
Both sides did wrong, and both sides had their military slaughters, but only one of them had death camps.
