    It’s a pretty big stretch to call leaders of the Nazi party civilians. This argument is like saying Putin’s cabinet aren’t guilty of warcrimes because they aren’t soldiers. If you’re in a position to effect policy and/or give orders that result in warcrimes at the very least you do not fit into the category of civilian we’re discussing.

      Sadly enough, both Maria Lvova-Belova and these civilians that poison food are complicit in war crimes. Yes, different war crimes, different even from a moral standpoint. Yes, I understand your urge to kill every ruski pig you encounter, but this doesn’t lie in a legal plane.
