It's much more interesting if he is.

Plenty of loyal soldiers in the Wehrmacht realized how evil the Nazi regime was after the war in our timeline. Why wouldn't the same thing happen in reverse if the Nazis had won the war?

Plenty recognized that it was evil during the war, bitched in their diaries about how evil it was, and bemoaned the fact that they were ordered to massacre compliant villagers in Russia. But fought and massacred anyway because that's just kinda what people do.
Probably the most upsetting and worldview changing things I've ever read was accounts of a Jewish writer from Romania who learned about massacres of Jews from a personal friend in the army who took part in one and then came back while on leave and told him about it.
