No, he was mainly know for leading the Great Waffen SS. Heinrich Himmler personally did not command the Auschwitz Death Camp. A man by the name of Hoess was put in charge in 1941. He was arrested after the camp was liberated in Jan 1945 and was indicted and after a trial at Nuremberg, was executed in 1946. Kapos were brutal with clubs as a way to impress the SS guards and make them seem more useful to the SS so they could live longer. Most of the kapos didn't survive the camps and were exterminated with the rest of the Jews. Those that survived, were identified by many survivors and were brutally beaten up and some were murdered! The kapos were obviously under the command of the block commander, under the camp commander who was under the command of the commandant of Auschitz, who was under the command of Himmler.

If the SS had relied entirely on its own full-time personnel to run the concentration camps the cost would have been considerable. The first Kapos were appointed at Dachau in 1933 and the system remained in use till 1945.
Elie kept his shoes from being taken by the Kapos by pretending to be dead when they were collecting the shoes of those who died. This way, he was able to keep his shoes and avoid being left without them.
