Last I checked, being the man who oversees a genocide does not make you innocent. In fact, it makes you just as bad, if not worse, than the people following orders.

I'd say worse. In the least, people carrying out orders might be doing so out of fear for their own life. It doesn't excuse it, but on the scale I'd say that's much better than putting people in a position to kill or be killed.

By reliable accounts some of Hitler's last words were him expressing that while sad he didn't really improve anything for Germany, at least he killed millions of Jews. Hitler wanted the credit.
