Original Note:
No evidence he was a Nazi. The "14th Voluntary SS Galizien" was formed from Ukrainians to "fight Bolsheviks"(Russian oppressors) & expressly not against Western Allies. It was not a "Nazi" unit. "Nazi indoctrination was absent within the division" to avoid demoralization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_Waffen_Grenadier_Division_of_the_SS_(1st_Galician)
