You have no idea how right you are. Here are portions of Himmler’s own assessment:
“Up until the last battle, the division consisted not only of German soldiers, but also of Ukrainians from Galicia.These Ukrainians are soft inside and fickle, and lack much in comparison to fighting German soldiers.
The holding together and leadership of such men who are not used to war and lack hardness, and over and above that the carrying out of the most difficult orders in battle, such as those of the Brody pocket, requires the most of a responsible leader.
During the further continuation of the battle, numerous volunteers of the division fled due to their inner cowardice, and in some cases used weapons to threaten their leaders and NCO’s. During this crisis, it was again the decisive presence of the divisional commander, who was there in person to re-establish the situation by inflicting the required brutal measures against any whiners, that saved the situation.
[…]
Whenever the division was deployed in the focal point of the battle, and its success recognized and recorded, it can only be attributed to the service of the German leaders who were lead by their divisional commander.”
NATO, EU, Obama-Kerry and Soros are grappling with the same issues the Third Reich did before them in utilizing these proxy soldaten:
“Either the unit is reliable or it isn’t reliable.
At the moment I can’t even create new formations in Germany because I have no weapons. Therefore it is idiocy to give weapons to a Ukrainian division which is not completely reliable. I would much rathger take their weapons away and set up a new German division. I assume that it is outstandingly equipped, probably much better armed than most of the German divisions we are creating at the moment.”

Based on the foregoing, Himmler’s assessment in particular, the ein kinder, gentler Reich types in the West might be best advised to issue Maverick McCain a feldmutze, MP40, jack boots and stick grenades and put him in charge of the Svoboda freikorps.
