'Just following orders'?
That wasn't a valid excuse 75 years ago.
Mind you, it is good that the other members resigned in protest and highlighted the people under investigation were following instructions from above. It doesn't absolve the people under investigation from the blame, but it does mean that the investigation should be looking up the chain of command and see where the rot started and purge it.
Not that it will be purged, because I've a feeling we know exactly where the orders came from.
