> 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.

- b0in 3y agoIdk 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?
