Even Himmler realized the extent of the horror of the death camps. That's why he didn't like the idea of Germans being exposed to the undeniable bad effects of having to do the job. So right from the start, in Poland, he arranged to have non-Germans handle the very bad stuff. Certain nationalities even liked the duty. So Estonians became the preferred choice. Non- killers, like Jehovah's Witnesses, did all the personal work, like shaving the brass.
