Of course it was a war crime. Not the first and not the last one committed during that conflict on both sides.
What we understand as a war crime is the killing of civilians, yes? Far more disturbing were also acts of ethnic cleansing inflicted by victims of German/Soviet attacts on their own communities during the chaotic occupation in struggle over the disputed borders - in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Ukraine, South East Poland, Belarus, Lithuania and Latvia - were neighbours killed their best friends or relatives in revenge attacks, because someone was a Jew, Orthodox, Communist, Nationalist etc.
This one was a really dark chapter in modern history and commonly erased from history books by communist academics.
