...both innocent and non-innocent in Japan and Germany...

I think you are unclear on the concept of war. When two nations declare war upon another, there are no "innocents" left in either country. A nation is nothing more than its citizens. When your nation declares war on another, it does so on behalf of you as a citizen, making you "guilty" of being in a state of war with the other nation. If you do not wish to be so considered, you always have the option of renouncing your citizenship and leaving your homeland if you can find a way to do it. Otherwise, you are the enemy as far as the opposing nation is concerned. It is not possible for you to claim the status of an "innocent bystander" while your nation is at war and to retain your citizenship at the same time.
