I don’t know if the distinction holds. The philosophical base of where you work goes is the same: fuelling the Nazi war machine. Building a machine that kills thousands isn’t that distinct from healing a soldier that kills dozens. Meh.

SS medic would be also personally actively working on genocide. SS were selected elite soldiers, volunteerly there, ideologically commited to the cause and willing to take hightened risks.

SS medic joined because he was commited nazi. You can be arms engineer without being commited nazi or commited toward genocide. With SS, nope, regardless of position they assigned you to, you have to be confident fundamentalist to join in the first place.

Right, you make a very valid point. I didn’t think of that. I assumed people were drafted to work for the SS like everywhere else in the ‘war machine’.
