I'm sure there were many incidents like that showing how most Nazis were still human beings prone to acting in human fashions rather than "soulless" murder machines.
I think it's important to remember those events to illustrate how their cruelty was an insidious human thing and not some kind of distant evil committed by creatures not like the rest of us.
