Deportation of Jews to death camps during ww2 required a very little number of German soldiers as Nazis occupied Europe, and that's because they had a lot of help from the local community of people. In fact, Nazis would not be nearly so proficient without the eager help of locals.
In other words, people were already ideologically prepared to get rid of/ kill Jews.
Like when Germans deported 100 thousand Jews from Hungary they only needed about 100 soldiers because the Hungarians did the rest, and it was a similar situation with other European countries.
So where do you think that that anti-Jewish ideology came from in non-German people who were not subjected to anti-Jewish propaganda?
It seems to me that it came from the Catholic Church and other Christian denominations with them touting "Christ-killers propaganda" for centuries.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
