I mean the other side to this is that he joined the SS of his own accord and was then assigned to Auschwitz at that point he could have been given a gun or a pen. Is it then fair for the ones in the first group to be prosecuted and not the ones in the latter group? They all joined the SS and they all were involved in making these camps efficient at what they did, and they all knew what the camps were for.
He made the argument they had no clue what it was for until he saw it for himself.

There were many, him included that then tried to leave the SS. Naturally, a lot just grabbed their gun and went on with it.
