3rd option because whataboutery is stupid.

Arendt taught me the 1st is just banal, so I pick the 3rd.

Probably Speer pretending he had a super secret plan to assaniate Hitler via poison gas, that was defeated by a chimney in the way of the air intake valve.

The first one is the only remotely logical defense.  I'm not defending former Nazis who used it, but it's a lot less bad than the next two, specifically the third.  I guess it would depend on what they did and what the orders were.  I don't think a German who was forced to fight for the Nazis deserves to live the rest of his life in shame, but that's different than, say, actually working in a concetration camp and enablign murder.

Leftists just don't want to admit that they have flaws as the rightists. Stop playing the moral high ground.

Indeed. It's hard to expect from an average Hans Schmidt who was drafted to say "f**k this, I'm not fighting." There's no justication for officer Schmidt who obeyed criminal orders or Concentration Camp guard Schmidt.
