Ford may have been antisemitic, but I don't think he was that genocidal about it. As for condemning everyone in the SS a few things needs to be understood. The Waffen-SS was only one branch of a huge organization. And while most SS soldiers were nazis some were not. Some joined because they wanted to fight with the best insted of being drafted by the Army. Also, all foreign volunteers (and in Nazi Germany "volunteer" was sometimes a loose term) served in the Waffen-SS. These SS units were the German version of the foreign legion, and again some were not nazis, but wanted to fight the communists because they believed communism was the greater threat. To me Thorne seems to be one of the latter category.

An estimated 325,000 to 500,000 non-ethnic German volunteers and conscripts served in the Waffen-SS.
