If the Guns of August has taught me anything, soldiers will obey orders despite all logic, more so the deeper into an engagement they go. Desertion only happens when the officers and general staff begin to doubt the casus belli.

In WW1, only 0.13% of German troops deserted with most defections at the final weeks of the war when sections of the German high command were losing faith in the war effort.
