oh god mini wheat what are you doing at the nuremberg trials

Suddenly, Mini-Wheat is put on trial. It's accidental, but the judge is unaware. He sits in fear, nervous of what the judge will do- because of what he's done to the other people. It's 1945, so "Mini-Wheat Discrimination" has not been put into place yet. He is sentenced to immediate execution. No more Mini-Wheat, kids.

Judge: Next is Mini-Wheat.
Everyone: oh god mini wheat what are you doing at the nuremberg trials

Nurenburg defence

"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.

Fight to the last man and the last bullet for Greater Germany.
