It was not us! It was the SS!

We are all familiar with that popular sentiment - that all the atrocities against the Jews and the population were committed by the SS, and the Wehrmacht soldiers had nothing to do with it.
Michael Verhoeven's film "The Unknown Soldier" ("Der unbekannte Soldat") attempts to blow a hole in this argument by providing the documents and testimonials.
One interesting fact is that in all German court marshal documents there is no single example of an officer or soldier prosecuted for refusing the extermination orders. The names of some of the brave officers are mentioned in the film. As we know, one popular excuse for taking part in the executions was the fear of military justice.
