This is mostly pure BS. In WWII the Ukrainians hated the Russian oppressors more than they hated the Nazis. Indeed, the Nazis were seen as liberators.

It would be better to just let it all alone. The dude was honored as a liberator, not a Jew murderer.

Except if you read up on this guy, his Waffen SS unit was implicated in multiple war crimes against Poles and Jews.

This is his Wikipedia page, the Simon Wiesenthal Center describes his unit’s actions are particularly interesting.

If you don’t believe Wikipedia, plenty of other sources are reporting the same thing.

A desperate and long stretch on the first part, documented FACT on the second part. Yeah, Stalin was awful. Heinrich Himmler giving these a-holes rifles doesn’t excuse what they did with them...

Beyond disgusting that this person was allowed into any decent nation after da Big One.

They were Soviet oppressors. Modern-day Russia is NOT Soviet and there is no excuse to embrace Nazism 30 years after Communism ended.

Only in a ass-backward world do two wrongs make a right.

This is from the Wikipedia article.

SS men were indoctrinated with the belief they were members of a "master race". The ideology of the SS was, even more so than in Nazism in general, built on the belief in a superior "Aryan race". This led to the SS playing the main role in political violence and crimes against humanity, including the Holocaust and "mercy killing" of those with congenital illnesses. After the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, the SS and Nazi Party were found to be criminal organizations at the Nuremberg Trials.

To this end, the SS served as the central institution for the broader extension of Nazi ideology and its realisation.[6] Representing the ideological opponents of the regime in one form or fashion, historian George C. Browder identified the Nazi state's list of enemies as follows: enemy states, miscegenation, the Jews, Catholicism, freemasonry, Communism, the Republic (hostility directed at the liberal republican constitution and form of government), homosexuality,[a][b] moral decay, capitalists, and the "Old Guard" (hate and fear of traditionally powerful influences and institutions of the old society as unjust, retarding influences in German society).[9] These groups became the focus of the SS—the predominant instrument of power for the Nazi totalitarian state—as they sought to direct and influence ideology and ethics within the Reich.[10]

The Waffen-SS went far beyond liberators they were sworn in secret rituals to reject Christianity and embrace pagan Satanism.   The Waffen SS death head skull was on their Service Caps.

Go ahead and claim they were liberators while we all know they murdered anyone that was not of their Volk.
