Doubtful that he was in any position to give orders, let alone refuse 'em.

At 18 years old, as a Marine, if I received orders that were as unquestionably immoral as the ones Geiser obeyed, I'd've shot the SOB giving them.

And as an 8-year-old schoolchild, growing up under a Nazi dictatorship as Geiser did, where would you have obtained your moral frame of reference to decide what was "unquestionably" immoral?
