Having read a large amount on the subject, I can't think of anyone who ever rebelled in that way. It's hard for us to imagine in this day and age, but SS members were conditioned from the beginning to accept, at all cost, superior orders. It was a part of Nazi lore and (I might get some heat over this) German militarism. There was nothing more important than obedience. Most of the men directly involved in these acts were alcoholics as a result of their experiences. Many were also sent, late in the war, to places that had very high casualty rates (eastern front, partisan suppression in Italy) so that a large number were killed before the end of the war.
