Yes, there were. Men in penal companies were forced to charge German machine guns without weapons. And there was nowhere near the amount of civilian suffering encountered in the Pacific theater between the US and Japan. The Japanese did awful things to the Chinese, but there was widespread rape and murder perpetrated by both armies (and their partisans) on the Eastern front.
