Yes. Also: that's common knowledge now, but probably wasn't in 1959 (certainly the distinction wasn't apparent in newspaper articles of the time). I don't think it was crazy for OPRF to assume, regardless of any documentation Kulle provided when he was hired, that he'd been vetted at immigration, and wasn't a war criminal. Of course, it was crazy for administrators to come to his defense in 1983 when the details were flushed out! But the village as a whole appears to have wanted him gone.
