It wasn't German Society who got to decide who lived or died at all. For the most part German Society wasn't even aware of the final solution and the extermination camps.
It was a cabal of top government officials, not judges versed in the legal system, not lawyers versed in the appeals proccess, not police officers investigating crimes. It was Hitler and his closest advisers.
Its not even close to the same thing.
In this case he was tried legally, found guilty offered all possible appeals, asked to end those appeals and end his life.
Its never society that deems who lives or who dies, if it was there would be a mass vote on the death penalty and it would be recinded.
Its the legal and justice system who makes that decision.
