You make good points, and obviously acting under orders doesn't absolve him of all responsibility. It is however, a mitigating factor. His choice to participate in the Holocaust was made under duress. He was forced to commit horrible acts in the interest of self preservation, and can't be held completely culpable for his actions. The perfect, moral man would choose to disobey orders and face the consequences, but I don't think we should fault Demjanjuk for having human flaws.

I can't argue with that. It definitely is a mitigating factor
