As for WW2, the honours would have to be shared between the USSR and the US.
Well, given that 5 million German troops were lost on the eastern front against Soviet Russia and ~800 000 were lost on the western front against allied troops (also british, canadian, etc.), many would say a greater part of the honour would belong to USSR.

Yes, but it seems to be a one way street? Remember the US air force pilot that killed 20 people when cutting the cables of a cable car in Italy, some years ago?
Iirc they wanted him extradited to Italy, but that was a no go. He was tried in the US and the jury found him "not guilty".
I have not read much on this case, from skimming his wikipedia page
