    They are KGB officers.
    Executing war criminals in this case.
    Nazi collaborator is a very special category of war crimes that is not excused by many countries' laws (Israel is ruthless).

    Thanks, I didn't know that.
    It is just sometimes these names seem just mmmm snobby, not because they are non-white middle class. I sometimes think, if this is this kid's real name, the parents must have foreseen him to become a TV child actor some day, otherwise why would you name your kid that?
    And I am not talking

    except for executing a war criminal. that is cut and dry deserved.

    She is not a monster, she is a soldier at war, she follows orders.

    And her having seen Liz's face and potentially identifying her to the FBI would hurt the cause - so it is for the cause.

    "Also, she really in all likelihood had no choice, other than to refuse and end up another body in the hole she helped dig under duress" -

    I am not going to argue with you, but applying the same logic, P&E are following orders like soldiers at war, so not guilty of anything and not monsters.
    everybody is just following orders, jury dismissed,

    She could have turned that trigger at her rapists but she chose to save her skin and betray her fellow Russians, execute soldiers who DEFENDED her from the Nazi invasion before they got captured.
    No sympathy from me.

    NOT to execute the Soviet POWs who went to war to DEFEND her and her family from the Nazi invasion. She would have been shot to death by Nazis, but that was the choice.

    so did Israel, our ally by the way.

    You would be surprised to know, there was.
    If you are referring to a perfect "justice" done every time in the court of law, you are naive. OJ got off, remember?

    Totally disagree. First, off, the Soviet POWs were going to die regardless? So why don't I execute them to save my own skin? That is the most reprehensible statement.
    Would you justify a person pulling a lever to gas Jews in a concentration camp gas chamber because that person would be just, oh well, Nazi will kill

    Oh yes, yes, this!
    I am truly shocked by the amount of sympathy to a Nazi collaborator, to put it more correctly. One commenter here even went as far as stating that no one who followed orders to not get shot is NOT a war criminal. I do not get it, America!

    I think Mail Robot must be fully exonerated after what dump has done, with no coercion, mind you :)

    He is not done yet, he won the American election in 2016, remember?

    She was just so proud of it, and happy to share the secret, and it was pretty stupid, just like dump blabbing to the Russians - Oh oh oh i know a secret, are you going to like me now and let me play with big boys…?

    Exactly, just ask war criminals hunters, look at the history of trials, no excuse was ever accepted. You helped Nazis to save your skin - you are a war criminal, and I agree.

    She WAS a traitor according to actual facts.

    Yes, sadly.
    They lived, therefore the state always suspected a hypothetical collaboration having taken place, otherwise why didn't Nazi kill them?
    It's like Stan suspecting everyone to be a spy. Err on the side of caution.
    So, if that was considered collaboration, just being POW, how about Natalie's known actual acts of

    They are just following KGB orders, therefore not guilty, not monsters (some comments here maintain this opinion about war criminals), so why not apply this same logic to them?
