The first one. Nazi soldiers, leaders, etc. were put on trial for what they did. Only a few got the death penalty and many other were sent to jail. The reason was that they were following orders, but after this, it is said that you have to decide for yourself if it is moral or not. Even if they were following orders, if something like that happened again they would be severely punished.
