What bother me is the recent trend of putting people like typists at the concentration camps on trial. Most people, given the situation of working as a typist or getting murdered by their government, would choose the former.

> In a post for the SS Galichina veterans’ blog Combatant News, Hunka wrote that 1941 to 1943 — after Germany invaded Ukraine and before Hunka enlisted — were the happiest years of his life. He also recalled eagerly awaiting “the legendary German knights” to come and attack “the hated Poles,” using a slur for Polish people, in 1939. Idk dawg he doesn't sound like most people. If he was a typist, why would the Canadian pairlament give him a standing ovation fighting against the Soviets? The two options sound like war criminal or stolen valor. https://forward.com/news/562504/yaroslav-hunka-anthony-rota-canada-ukraine-nazis/ https://forward.com/news/562504/yaroslav-hunka-anthony-rota-...

  > “the legendary German knights” to come and attack “the hated Poles,” Maybe Poles were also not angels towards Ukrainians at that time.

    Idk even in the face of geopolitical conflicts I don't think most people are rabid like this. Maybe in pre-WWII Europe they were, but they ended up gassing millions of people (Jews, communists, homosexuals, Romani). So again, why is Canada giving this guy a standing ovation?

      > So again, why is Canada giving this guy a standing ovation? I think it was mistake and they apologized for that.
