Nuremberg defense 

To use the fact you were only following orders to escape prosecution. Used by Nazi Germany's military officers in Nuremberg when they were on trial for their treatment of the Jews, when they claimed to have nothing to do with it, only doing what they were told to do.

It is seen elsewhere in history... one example would be Oliver North's trial after the Watergate scandal, in which he claimed their illegal activity was just them following orders.
We're not ashamed of killing innocent civilians; we're just following orders.

Nuremberg Laws 

The lack of a clear legal method of defining who was Jewish
The Nuremberg Laws classified people with four German grandparents as "German or kindred blood", while people were classified as Jews if they descended from three or four Jewish grandparents. A person with one or two Jewish grandparents was a Mischling, a crossbreed, of "mixed blood".1 These laws deprived Jews of German citizenship and prohibited marriage between Jews and other Germans.

Nuremberg Military Tribunals

"ARTICLE 19.The tribunal shall not be bound by technical rules of evidence.It shall adopt and apply to the greatest possible extent expeditious and non-technical procedure, and shall admit any evidence which it deems to have probative value...." "ARTICLE 21.The Tribunal shall not require proof of facts of common knowledge but shall take judicial notice thereof...." The above makes it likely that unsubstantive evidence could be submitted and result in a conviction.I am not saying that this happened .
Herr Goring was accused of waging "an aggressive war".
