During WWII the experienced German soldiers dreaded a new commander. Due to lack of experience he would put the platoon in a lot of danger to show results.

Once the platoon discovered this type was going to send them to their deaths they would cause an 'accident' to get rid of thim.

A good commander was protected since he was experienced and having him there minimized the risk of having a green horn to send the men to death.

The former Wehrmacht soldier who told me that, said he retunred form leave three times and he had to join new platoons. His platoons were decimated because they were having a new commander. He said he was lucky three times since the replacement happened when he was on leave.
