If she is typing up the order to execute people, she is definitely fits the definition and seems to have committed the crime. Her defense was she did not know what was going on. All of the killings and acts of torture were either documented and sent to the Commander's office or documented by the people in the Commander's office. My guess is she typed at least one or two of those documents.

I picture all those typists in Private Ryan who are typing out the death notices in a big room. I get there weren't 20-30-40 typists but I'd think there was more than just her.
Yes, hard for me to believe she didn't know something bad was going on and she probably typed a bunch of correspondence.
Possibly the last trial of this nature. I'm thinking the last of the German Nazi's are now buried in some South American cemetery ... but then there's always the possibility that "Boys from Brazil" was based on fact!
