I think you are confusing the Einsatzgruppen with the entire Waffen SS. The Waffen SS had about 6-7 division, including regular Infantry and Calvary divisions among them. They were many Waffen SS units who fought honorably and bravely.

Yes. But then again:

The list goes on and on. Yes, I know the Soviets were bad also. But the Soviets didn’t go around shooting children. The Waffen SS did that quite often.
