The thing is, if I was an officer in Nazi Germany, I imagine I would have followed whatever orders I was given, no matter how inhumane they may have seemed. Not complying would simply not have been an option unless I wanted to suffer myself.

You would've smashed that babies brains all over that car huh, radish?

 

Regardless you probably would've had a deep hatred for jewish people if you were already an officer by the time shit started getting serious

 

They knew wtf was going on. Hitler pretty much expressed his hatred for jewish people BEFORE he was Furer. 

Where the hell did he say that he'd smash a baby's brains out?

You're seeing the world as too black or white. I'm pretty sure conscription was mandatory during the Nazi regime. I'd like to think that I would have been a hero too if I was German during those times but, realistically, I'd keep my head down and think of living and the lives of my family members.
