At the Nuremberg War Trials, many German defendants attempted to defend themselves by arguing that they were merely following orders from higher authorities, invoking the defense of "superior orders." They also claimed a lack of personal responsibility for the atrocities committed, asserting that they acted in the context of a national war effort. Some defendants sought to portray their actions as necessary for national security or as part of a broader ideological struggle. Additionally, they often emphasized a lack of awareness regarding the full extent of the crimes being committed.
