especially the passage:

Soviet jurist Aron Trainin developed the concept of crimes against peace (waging aggressive war) which would later be central to the proceedings at Nuremberg.[6][7] Trainin's ideas were reprinted in the West and widely adopted.[8][9] On 1 November 1943, the Soviet Union, United Kingdom, and United States issued the Moscow Declaration to "give full warning" to the Nazi leadership of the Allies' intent to "pursue them to the uttermost ends of the earth…in order that justice may be done".[10] The declaration also stated that those high-ranking Nazis who had committed crimes in several countries would be dealt with jointly.[10][11]

Could be placed in the line of fire, who knows?
