I'm recanting a bit from my first response.

I believe I used correct reasoning, but I didn't read your situation closely 
enough.

>By A14.22, prisoners are considered non-targets for the Sniper.  I contend

I agree.  IMO, in your situation the Unarmed Russian MMC are the nearest 
eligible Sniper targets for the German Sniper.

Sorry 'bout the initial bad response!
