Can you give an example of an extermination program which was thwarted by a lack of accurate census data?
"The Nazis used a data source to implement an extermination program" is not a statement which proves that your problem was the existence of a data source.
The claim was not that the census is instrumental to e.g. ethnic cleansing, simply that the (micro?)data can be used that way.
And it of course helps, if accurate, as it tells you exactly where to go, how many there are, etc.
It’s basically cheating.
