Did the Nazi deserve pity?

In one section of the book The Sunflower the dying Nazi soldier keeps refers to pity. At this point in time Simon Wiesenthal realizes that the soldier is craving for pity from this Jew. If i was in his situation and a murder that was killing my people and was craving for pity im not sure if i could give the dying man what he wanted. Although this man seems very sincere in his plead for forgivness this is different than giving pity to a man that has caused much more harsh pain to the Jews. In turn this soldier had "dished out what he couldn't take back"
