> They were many Waffen SS units who fought honorably and bravely. <

Yes. But then again:

3rd Waffen SS Division: Massacres in Poland

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.

the Nutzis were monsters yes, killing children.

The Soviets also did kill children. They were also monsters

The bloodlands of Eastern Europe were stuck between two equally evil monsters.

Per my grandfather who was in Patton's 3rd army, the red army raped the girls and threw their bodies in the town wells in Austria.

2nd Waffen SS Division: Oradour-sur-Glane massacre

I can hear Sir Laurence Oliver now.....

“Down this road on a summer day in 1944, the soldiers came. Nobody lives here now. They stayed only a few hours. When they had gone, the community, which had lived for a thousand years, was dead. This is Oradour-sur-Glane, in France. The day the soldiers came, the people were gathered together. The men were taken to garages and barns, the women and children were led down this road, and they were driven into this church. Here, they heard the firing as their men were shot. Then they were killed too. A few weeks later, many of those who had done the killing were themselves dead, in battle. They never rebuilt Oradour. Its ruins are a memorial. Its martyrdom stands for thousands upon thousands of other martyrdoms in Poland, in Russia, in Burma, China, in a world at war.”
