Which German armed service was most likely to have been simply following orders?
Short answerNo service is singled out. The answer points to Victoria Taylor's research on the Luftwaffe and leaves the wider comparison unresolved.
NotesVictoria Taylor's work on the Luftwaffe is recommended for examining the service's integration with Nazism. An equivalent treatment of the Kriegsmarine is identified as missing from this comparison. The answer leaves the relative position of the services unresolved, and its brief reference to the army and SS does not develop a clear comparative conclusion.
