For a lot of colonial nations WWII & The Cold War was not as cut and dried as it was for the West

The Brits , French etc were fighting German conquest but they had already conquered all these other countries

I just looked up the wikipedia page and here's what happened in the end

A few of them were charged in the INA trials (that page discusses the trials generally in more detail) along with members of the INA proper, as mentioned in the text, and presumably the rest would have been. But because of the tension the trials produced, most of the trials were halted before independence, presumably including those of Legion soldiers. All the Indians who fought for the Axis were released in 1947, including the three who had been sentenced—but as the British insisted they were never allowed to serve in the new Indian Army. —innotata 19:14, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
