1. I didn't say Bandera wasn't put into a concentration camp - I said he was put there after he gave the Nazis control of Western Ukraine and didn't toe the line.

2. The Ukraine Weekly is hardly an unimpeachable source on what Patton's staff did or did not receive. a.) Skubnik was NOT on Patton's staff, and b.) The US Dept of Justice Nazi hunter (Loftus) provides ample evidence of Bandera's war crimes - and it's all at the Wiesenthal Center, btw.

" Skubnik was NOT on Patton's staff"

If wishing would only make it so. The following is from Skubik's obituary.





During World War II, Mr. Skubik enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1941 and later served in Germany with the Army Counter Intelligence Corps, and in that capacity he arrested a number of Nazi war criminals. Making use of his language skills, Mr. Skubik was in contact with the various underground movements active in Central Europe at that time. Acting on the information provided by various groups, Mr. Skubik was the first U.S. intelligence officer to enter and report first-hand on the Nazi death camps.

With his contacts among Central Europe's refugee community, Mr. Skubik arranged a meeting between Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Rev. Stephen Reshytylo to discuss the plight of refugees fleeing the Soviet Union and facing forced repatriation by the U.S. lead occupying forces. That meeting led Gen. Eisenhower and the U.S. State Department to reverse U.S. policy on Soviet refugees, thus saving the lives of countless thousands facing death in Soviet labor camps.

In another brush with destiny, Mr. Skubik was informed by the Ukrainian underground of a Soviet assassination plot against Gen. George Patton. After his reports on the plot were dismissed, Gen. Patton was killed in an accident involving his staff car and a military truck. Although part of Gen. Patton's security detail, Mr. Skubik was refused permission to investigate the crash. Mr. Skubik's Ukrainian underground contact, Stepan Bandera, was himself assassinated by the KGB in 1959.




And regarding your absurd personal attacks on me: were I to choose "Regular or Decaf", it would take you 3 posts to turn this into proof that my Grandmother was Attila the Hun.
