Civilian,
Iraq only signed a ceasefire which it has breached. The original UN resolutions apply, they have never been revoked.
Germany, on the other hand, signed an unconditional surrender.
Surrender documents with a formal cessation of hostilities being declared by the Allies under Proclamation
2714 on the 31st of December 1946.
So, "by a strange quirk of fate", you, as usual, don't know what you're talking about.
