"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.

Get the Pre-Self Defence mug.Loose association of football thugs, British nationalists, petty criminals and out-and-out-racists who claim they're defending the UK from Islamic extremism by going on Stella and Cocaine fuelled rampages through towns and cities with high muslim populations.
Popular songs on English Defence League demonstrations include "Allah is a Paedo", "Allah, Allah, Who the fuck is Allah?" "Burn A Mosque"and "We Want Our Country Back".
The English Defence League claims to be educating the population at large about the threat muslims, sorry, "islamic extremism" poses to "our way of life".
