"a pretty large contingent of German officers who hadn't drunk the Nazi Koolaid"

Well actually, as touched on earlier in the thread, they HAD been willing to sip at it... as long as it brought the Military victories. It wasn't until things started to go obviously, severely south, that they decided to try to spit it back out.

More CYA there than conscience.
