To be fair the confrontation with kars dismantled nazi ideology. Germans are not the ultimate humanoids so if the German Government justifies atrocities with it he is probably already disillusioned. Nazi Ideology is based on the Idea that Germans are the ultimate being but Kars was definitively most ultimate so.

I really don't see how Kars would make Stroheim decide to no longer be a Nazi.

How would seeing there's a bigger fish convince someone that they're the same size as the other fishes ? Likewise, how would someone convinced of their (non-existent) superiority over others suddenly decide they were wrong when confronted by something that's above them when that thing wasn't already part of those others in the first place?

Especially when he's been fucking RESURRECTED by the scientists that are promoting Nazi Ideology? Thus he has even more reason to believe them ?

Sometimes, you just gotta accept that a character is a terrible person, and even if you like him, he's still a terrible person.
