"Just obeying orders". This means precisely what it says.Failure to obey orders for Germans in any of the armed forces meant the firing squad or punishment battalion.Incompetence also equalled failure to obey orders.A punishment battalion usually meant that your days were numbered.So strictly adhering to orders was the only option for Germans in WW2.And of course not all would have been "nazis" ie members of NSDAP.Putting the General Staff of a nation on trial is definitely a dangerous precedent.

Rejecting responsibility for any wrongdoing within your organisation because it's too big. Laying the blame on people who you trusted that let you down and let down the people who you trusted and so forth. Then claiming you're the best person to clear up the mess!
Louise Mensch: "Mr Murdoch, have you considered resigning?
Rupert Murdoch: "No."
LM: "Why not?"
RM: "Because, I feel that people I trusted, I'm not saying who, I don't know what level, have let me down. I think they behaved disgracefully and betrayed the company, and me. It's for them to pay. I think that, frankly, I'm the best person to clear this up. I plead the Murdoch defence!"

A defensive form of urinating in a public toilet when surrounded by potentially gay men. The subject in question tucks his genitals between his legs and turns his back to the unirinal in order to urinate. This both removes the element of rear end exposure to the room at large as well as makes the subject seem as female as possible by creating a mock vagina.
