His Waffen SS Unit was implicated in various war crimes.

But careful examination of the actual historical records which was done when Hunka and others were admitted to Western countries showed that Hunka and others did not commit any war crimes. You forgot to mention that part.

The very unit Hunka was supposedly a part of took a special oath that differed from other German units because they were joining just to fight against Russians.

And fighting against Russians is something Ukrainians have been forced to do many times.

While all the pro Russian club members are trying to focus everyone's attention on one 18 year old kid who joined an effort to fight Russians 80 years ago, Russians are once again invading Ukraine and destroying Ukrainian cities, abducting Ukrainian children, raping Ukrainian women and girls, and killing Ukrainians.

Why is what one guy did in 1943 more important than what tens of thousands of Russians are doing today?

While he was still in Ukraine, his unit changed it’s name from the Waffen-SS “Galicia” Division or the SS 14th Waffen Division to the First Ukrainian Division, obviously making it much more acceptable to the Allies which made it easier for them to immigrate to the Canada and other Western Countries.

After 9/11 you could make a valid argument the USA had every right to invade Afghanistan because that’s where the terrorist act started.

What possible valid argument existed to justify the USA for invading Iraq ?? What we were told back then turned out to be lies.

I’m not justifying what Russia is doing in Ukraine, but what we did in Iraq can’t be justified either.

If someone ever invaded the USA and killed 50 million Americans, we would be very sensitive if someone was allowed to flourish in a country and be held up as a hero by a country that is supplying the enemy.

The Russians are seeing German Tanks running around Ukraine, a recent report says German Soldiers were recently killed in one of those German Tanks, now the Russians are seeing someone who helped kill 50 million Russians now being held up as a hero in a country that is arming our enemy.

Replace Russian with American, how would we feel, very uneasy would be my guess.
