I think pushing Jews into furnaces on the excuse that they were just “following orders” has made officers cautious about making sure their orders are lawful. Silly of them, I suppose.

Those of us in the Americal Division received very clear and very frequent instruction on that topic right after a certain LT tried to blame others with that lame excuse . Do you see no difference in being ordered to do something illegal , and and a situation where an otherwise legal order is coming from a commander who may have attained his position by fraud ?
