Your arguement implies that, by way of historic analogy only, Germany's decision to invade Poland was "just politics" rather than the war of aggression it was denounced as; it also ignores the many tried, sentenced, and sometimes hung, at Nuremburg on the charge of "waging an illegal war of aggression" (this was also one of the charges levelled at Grand Admiral Doenitz, and although I don't recall if he was convicted on this charge I do know that he was sentenced at Nuremburg to 10 years in prison and yet he had never ordered or participated in any war crimes).

That is why the war crimes arguments are only as good as air used to express them. The winners write the rules. Not the folks who talk about it (read anyone invoking war crimes in the current ME conflict).
