You have the right and responsibility to refuse inhumane or illegal orders.

But frequently not the ability to survive doing so within a fascist regime.

Not a single nazi was punished for not following orders when it came to crimes.

Yes they were. By the ones giving the orders.
Like then, fascists will not just abuse and kill the intended victims. They’ll also abuse and kill people for standing in the way or for refusing to participate in their crimes is humanity.
I’m not saying that it’s not a good thing to resist orders that are both illegal and immoral, I’m saying that it’s not automatically and instantly safe like you imply.

They were absolutely punished by the people giving the orders. They weren’t tried for refusing during the Nuremberg trials, but the ones who blatantly refused during the war didn’t survive that long; They were quickly forced out of service, labeled deserters, or just outright killed for being Jew sympathizers.
