Nothing on his time spent as a Kapo?

This articles section on his incarceration only talks about his time as a regular prisoner, but it does not mention that he spent a significant amount of time as a Kapo towards the end of the war? Its also notable as In his book he also states that he was the only "pink triangle" Kapo he knew of, so he may be one of, if not the only Kapo with a pink triangle that has ever been documented?

Correction to Conviction of Josef Kohout/Heinz Heger

According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum: "On March 12, 1939, German troops marched into Vienna and the next day the Anschluss, or political incorporation of Austria into the German Third Reich, was complete. Political opponents were purged and German laws were aggressively enforced by SS and SA security forces. Nazi ideology called for the racial and cultural purification of the German Reich and German policies persecuting Jews and other groups, including homosexuals and Roma, were immediate priorities. On April 13, 1939, Josef was arrested for homosexual activity as defined by paragraph 175, the German law similar to Austria’s statute 129." This refutes the statement in this wiki article that "However, since he was convicted by an Austrian court and Paragraph 175 did not apply for Austrian citizens, he was convicted on basis of the Austrian penal code."
