Hiroshi Abe (born c. 1922) was a Japanese soldier and a repenting war criminal. As a first lieutenant in the Imperial Japanese Army's Fifth Rail Regiment during World War II, he supervised construction of the Burma Railway at Songkurai. Over twelve thousand Allied prisoners of war died under his supervision. Abe was sentenced to death by hanging as a B/C class war criminal and imprisoned in Changi Prison. In 1947, his sentence was commuted to 15 years. He was released in 1957. "The construction of the railway was in itself a war crime. For my part in it, I am a war criminal."
