Maybe some Staatsbeamt functionary in some little country town (the Diocese of Virginia isn't all that big really), overly impressed by some bigwigs from Berlin.
I've read that only about 50,000 SS folks were involved by war crimes. So that leaves a lot of folks who didn't get their hands dirty. And the guy in Berlin that had to track soap and toilet paper usage doesn't have the same culpability as a death camp commandant. As for the Godwins Law comment - it is comforting to try to think of Nazis as being uniquely evil, but most of them were just ordinary folks.
