I said much choice, maybe it is stronger than what I really meant (English is not my native language). He certainly had a choice, but there were accounts from witnesses that complaining about the usage of slave labors or conditions in death camps were not really accepted (as in you would at least put to jail if you would, which did not end well during the nazis)
If you compare his behavior to e.g. doctors in Japan (who often came from the most prestigious universities in Japan, and were quite brilliant), who personally willingly tortured, killed, infected people, including young children, I would say there is no comparison. Some of those people supposedly took part of the biological american program after the second WW (still mostly classified AFAIK), and Japan does not even recognize the crimes yet I believe.
[EDIT] One of the former member of Unit 731 used to tour in Japan (not sure if he still does) to explain the attrocities he commited: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Yuasa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Yuasa. It is even more gruesome that what you could imagine from what you would usually know about nazi crimes.
