Considering all of her papers and advancements (kampfgruppe, warehouse/logistics innovations, etc) they'd likely be more than willing to accept her technical legal defense to get her into their organization. Or keep her in the post war Empire for the likely Cold War with the Federation.
Makes sense, but isn't the whole premise of the series that she wants to avoid a world war at all costs, because she fears that the Empire would end up like its counterpart nation in our world? Also, Being X said that it would do anything in its power to make Tanya submit. So, making her a war criminal in the eyes of her many enemies is not out of the question.
She essentially just has to survive, according to the 'bet'. She does want to avoid a world war but eventually realizes it's inevitable. The Empire (in the LN) eventually actively tries to get the US involved to 'fuck over' the Federation so that they (Federation) don't get to be the primary faction to dictate terms.
The warcrimes she never commited? The ones she explicitly goes out of her way to not commit, exactly to avoid being trialed at the end of a war? The one she knows full well is already lost?
Literally the closest she gets to commiting a warcrime (purely by accident) in not even in the anime. She's also tried and found not guilty due to very clear recordings of her orders (tbf, it's the "we investigated outselves and found ourselves not guilty" kind of deal, but still: her orders were clear - the sub was just shit).
The Empire DOES loose and she's not, go figure....
Partly because she's wiped from all the paperwork, but also the thing idiots keep bringing as her supposed "warcrime" (ignoring the fact that she just stood there and watched the fireworks), Arene, was not found after the war to be a warcrime.
She never committed any warcrimes. And she would not be out of work, she would either continue in Empire army after the war (she's to valuable and any downscaling of the military forced on empire would most likely not involve her) or find a new employer (hell, she's looking for new employer in the LNs...).
They have a "treaty of worms". It's a basic set of rules to follow in war. And i mean BASIC.
Something people like to do is ascribing simplistic understanding of our current, 2026, laws governing warfare to YS world. Great example is booby trapping (which Tanya does). In our world it was outlawed in 1980. It's safe to say it's not prohibited (yet) in YS.
If you want general understanding, looking at the irl treaties from pre-WW1 will give you an idea. BUT it's not the same thing as YS treaties. Whatever laws govern warfare in YS, it's safe to say that if Tanya does it, it's legal.
It's also important to note that Soviets were not signatories to many of those treaties, which means treaties did not apply when fighting them. A lot of things happened in eastern front that would be a war crime on the western front. It's, again, the same thing in YS (it's even noted at some point in LNs).
In their timeline the US is not that strong just yet, it’s the 1920s and alt-America is still isolationist (funny, it’s an alternate timeline but some things remain the same).
Manga Tanya eventually begins to love the Empire and its people. Even to the point that she decides to keep fighting for the country even if its doomed.
Tanya would welcome something like this, on the condition that she wouldn't get put on trial for warcrimes.

History is written by the victors. If the Empire loses, there is a decent chance she would be tried for warcrimes.

Or get paperclipped by one of the winners.
She could play the, "I'm just a child that had no other option" card. Probably would get some sympathy from that
Or she could flee to a country with a made up name like Argolatina.
If I remember correctly, Nazis that were underage weren’t tried for war crimes.
Why would she be upset?
Because the Empire will make her fight like hell?
Because she’s going to be unemployed and be tried for war crimes

We gotta remember that history is written by the Victors
I was just kidding about that she would be put to trial for war crimes but I can imagine Being X finding ways to screw her over
She explained away her warcrimes, a nation not interested in her continued usage won't fall for semantics.
No, she literally did not commit any. There is no semantics, there is letter of the law.
Do war crimes even exist in this world? It's been so long since I watched or read the manga that I forgot.
They have their own version of the Geneva conventions.
Thanks, will need to rewatch and read before season 2. I'm old, I forget shit.

Her book was literally how to commit war crimes without technically committing war-crimes.
And even then, she would have been 100% paper clipped.
Both her and Von Shugel yeah.
Zero media literacy
Obviously she wants to go to the frontline

lol the last book i read tanya was already preparing her escape, she doesnt give a shit to the empire for her it's just another job.
Manga Tanya eventually begins to love the Empire and its people. Even to the point that she decides to keep fighting for the country even if its doomed.
I highly doubt manga Tanya is so much different from other Tanyas. This would completely change the story.
Manga, Light Novel, and Anime Tanya are all pretty distinct, yes.
umm hehehehe
SERIOUSLY?! Keep real politics out of fucking subs that should not fucking have it
