In 1943 he would have been an 18 year old draftee. He went to where he was assigned, without any option to turn down the position without being shot.

If he was SS, wouldn’t that be a different story? I knew some regular German army draftees. They were your typical draftee. But SS folks were a bit more “intense.”
