I'm not sure this argues against your point, at least not in any direct way. But it's worth taking into consideration.

Hmmm.
If you consider that his suicide near the end of the European Theater war prevented his being tried a Nuremberg, then US Law would not apply to someone like Goebbles because we generally don't do posthumous trials and he wasn't convicted of his crimes.
It's a convoluted issue.
