Listen, not all nazi soldiers were particularly bad. I'm sure a chef in the rear guard probably did not do a single war crime. But when the SS existed we know that the chef isn't what most people refer to when discussing war crimes of the era.
Its the same in this era. Sure, there are bad guys all over the place, but compare to the US there's really only a handful of entities in the post WWII era that could be equals, and none more evil.
No, any member of the SS was used and helped the SS to commit these crimes and kill people. Everyone in the SS was responsible in many ways.
