Danger, pedant alert. Elected government ministers if you prefer.
German soldiers were legitimate targets of the resistance, weren't they?
The difference here is the difference between a kidnapper of a soldier being caught and fairly tried, on the one hand (not occurring at present) and innocent civilians and non-complicit government officials being targetted - rather in the same way the Gestapo would select at random and murder members of a French village in which German troops were killed by the resistance.
