In this hypothetical, the parents are killed in war but the bolded section is
unintuitive to read.

嬲る can't take 敵兵に directly as a transitive verb, but 敵兵に is the only thing
that can do the ものにされて殺された to his parents.

would appreciate clarification, than you

Sentence structure of 戦争で敵兵になぶりものにされて殺されたんだ
First, note the following:

  * The highlighted sentence is a passive sentence. In passive sentences, the agent is often marked by に.

  * "なぶりもの" as a whole is a noun-equivalent, so the verb of the highlighted sentence is not 嬲る. Instead, you could say that "なぶりものにする" is like a verb on its own.

Breaking down the sentence piece-by-piece:

> 戦争で

the "location" of the action

> 敵兵に

the agent of the action in the passive sentence

> なぶりものにされて 殺されたんだ

the two verbs of the sentence, combined with て to indicate that the two events
happened sequentially.

The verbs are conjugated in the passive voice. The 敵兵 is the agent who is
doing the action, and we understand from context that it is the speaker's 両親
who received the actions of the agent.
