So all the accusations against them were rumors (surely not at all influenced by them being gay or (likely) trans πŸ™„), and they were murdered by a militia that had no qualms murdering children, but they're the monster here?

The worse accusation were rumors, they still helped the Nazis by getting them gas, space, and driving them around. The problem with facists is that everyone remotely involved in helping them gets put at the same level. All of ICE whether they're driving the trucks or actually kidnapping folks are still ICE members. Whatever washed up actor or comedian of the day is also not going to get sympathy from me. Peter Thiel is gay, that has nothing to do with the horrors he is helping unleash on the rest of us.

No, only some details are disputed. It's undisputed that they were a Nazi collaborator.

but they’re the monster here?

For willingly collaborating with the Nazis? Yes.
