At the time of the illegal NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999 when Martti Ahtisaari was the President of Finland, his government sought to commemorate and to honor Finland’s Nazi SS volunteers from the Holocaust.

Can't make heads or tails of this. Were the proposed honorees Nazi fighters against Russia who were later consumed by other Nazis in the Holocaust (for not being Nazi enough) or were these direct Holocaust perpretrators.

Finland was attacked by Russia, and according to history joined the Nazi Waffen SS to protect themselves from Russia. Apparently, Finns did not persecute Jews in their country. Yet post-war, all members of the Waffen SS, without regard to country, were indicted at Nurenberg for aiding the enemy.

In 1999, Marti Ahtesaari was the first Finnish president in 55 years to try and honor those of this group of Finns who had joined the Nazis. A number of Jewish groups objected, including the Simon Weisenthal Institute.

Ahtesaari is now the UN mediator for Kosovo.

During WWII, the Kosovo Albanians were also the Waffen Gebirgs Division der SS "Skanderbeg" of the Nazis and they did kill Jews and a large number of Serbs.

Ahtesaari has blatantly favored the Kosovo Albanians and made some racist remarks referencing "collective guilt" of all Serbs for Kosovo that shocked even the Swiss negotiators.

The direct thread between those two points you mentioned was that Ahtesaari had sought to honor a Nazi Waffen SS group in Finland, at exactly the same that NATO was bombing the Serbs to defend the Kosovo Albanians who once had their own Waffen SS Division. As far as I was concerned, the point here was Ahtesaari's resume in defending Nazi legacies, not some gross indictment of Finnish history.

The 15th century Serbian Orthodox Devich monastery was blown up during WWII by the Nazi Albanians.

It was rebuilt starting in 1950, where it stood unmolested until the 1990's.

Beginning in 1998, the Muslim Kosovo Albanians started desecrating the monastery and raping the nuns

In March of 2004, the Albanians finished the job, while under the noses of NATO forces, they were allowed to burn the place to the ground.

The link between Ahtesaari's defense of Nazis (for whatever reasons), his defense of Albanians and racist remarks toward Serbs, the destruction of this and many Serbian monasteries right under the noses of everyone, and now, German troops and a German Administrator for Kosovo could not be more evocative of WWII Nazi occupation if they tried.
