> Stating the death of German soldiers as the most important outcome from WW II

Who stated that?

The quote explicitly relates to Elser, whose motive in Hitler's assassination was to save Germany's workers and common people from war.

So mentioning the losses of German "cannon fodder" seems appropriate. Common Germans are what Elser cared about (and failed to save). I see no evil motive or lack of empathy on author's part.
