Exactly -- if they didn't take part or condone massacres of innocents and civilians, they fought for Latvia against the Soviets.

If any of them did commit holocaust atrocities then they would ahve been punished by now.

and not all members of the SS committed atrocities. The Einsatzgruppen were the units within the Waffen SS, that carried out the brutalities of the regime. There were other units within the Waffen SS, that were much like our own Special Operations community. If you get a chance, read the book “Hellstorm” it gives a graphic account of the early days of the Soviet occupation of Berlin. Hitler and the SS are demonized, while “Uncle Joe” and the Red Army were glorified for years. The SS weren’t the only brutal ones on the battlefield.

There is a long list of holocaust criminals who committed heinous crimes and were given token punishments, such as “one year’s loss of honor.”
