I'm sure the sentense would have been different if she weren't a Slavic untermensch, or if he were, say, a Turk. A friend of mine related how his father - a Jew and a Soviet Army officer - commanded a company in WW2. In 1944 they came across a > church where over a thousand Nazi soldiers surrendered without reistance. He announced them "Ich bin ain Jude" and had them all executed. I think he did the right thing.

First of all, soldiers are just the little guys, like you and me, no more "Nazis" than "Communists" or whatever we Americans are in the eyes of the third world, etc. Remember the Godfather scene where Al Pacino is walking through the town in Sicily and he says "where are all the men?"? You can "justify" revenge all you want, and what do you get? Honor? Justice? You get a lot of dead people, and in the next generation, nobody gives a shit. Oh, they "continue" the mindless hatred of earlier generations, spurred on by (take your pick here), but you can't really connect the issues seamlessly across generations, unless you simplify them in the extreme, such as "starvation and deprivation are a causative factor in war", or some such thing. Economic opportunity is certainly a leading cause in war and genocide, i.e., in a "free" world society, it should be easier to remove a profit motive than to remove starvation, if you know what I mean, and I think you do.
