This was a show trial for the sake of the few left who suffered in the holocaust especially as it's probably the last trial pertaining to that period in time.

Most of the shooting was carried out by eastern European units of eitzengruppen whose moral and mental welfare wasn't a high priority, unlike the waffen ss whose welfare was placed on a far higher pedestal for obvious reasons and the reason they switched from the far more efficient shooting method was because himmler watched some executions and was sick!
