I feel like this is an intricate argument. Why are german soldiers held in a negative light even though the war decisions were by its commanders?

- itake 7y agoThey aren't held in a negative light... After the war, they were forgiven and I think society in general has accepted that they were just following orders. The leaders definitely thought in a negative light.
- lxw 7y agoThis is not true. "Just following orders" was held to be not a valid defense in the Nuremberg trials: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_orders https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_orders
