I watched the first part, and can't express my sense of repulsion... and I probably already knew more about those events than 97% of the population.
Like you, I was mostly shocked and disgusted by the interviews. The facts are well known, little left there that could throw me off balance, but that SS fucker really raised my blood pressure.
You are wrong, however, about the compartmentalizing - I didn't see any there. The scum was totally open and held nothing back - he hated Jews back then, simply gave them what they deserved, still hates them now. That was different from the more typical soldier's "I just followed my order, it was either I shoot, or I get shot" story.
So far looks like a powerful documentary... the discussion part in the end was weak, I thought.
I found, however, the choice of music quite unfortunate. OK, so the Sarabande was not out of place, could have been an independent pick, but the Schubert trio killed any remaining doubt - and for the life of me I can't figure out the idea... Rudolf Hess as 20th century Raymond Barry?
Out of millions of pieces of wonderful music out there - why this simpleton selection?
The film should be a mandatory viewing in every high school... but we all know it will never happen.
