There is precedence for deportation, for even such a "kid."

"John Demjanjuk (born Ivan Mykolaiovych Demjanjuk; Ukrainian: Іван Миколайович Дем'янюк; 3 April 1920 – 17 March 2012) was a Ukrainian-American who served as a Trawniki man and Nazi camp guard at Sobibor extermination camp, Majdanek, and Flossenbürg.[2] Demjanjuk became the center of global media attention in the 1980s, when he was tried and convicted in Israel after being misidentified as Ivan the Terrible, a notoriously cruel watchman at Treblinka extermination camp. In 1993 the verdict was overturned. Shortly before his death, he was tried and convicted in Germany as an accessory to 28,060 murders at Sobibor."

John Demjanjuk

Besides, just a "kid" at sixteen is a "man" of enlistment age a year later, in many branches of our own military.

It is additionally interesting that Wiki speaks of Demjanjuk as both a "Ukrainian-American" in one paragraph and then being born in the "Soviet Union" in another. Because both are correct.

"Hunka as a 'Ukrainian hero and a Canadian hero' can also be spoken of a "just a kid" when he joined the Waffen SS, so it's all a matter of words, until reality sets in. Personally I hope that Poland presses for 1) deportation of Hunka, and 2) presses forward with claims of greater reparations from Germany.

Yes, there is not enough waste and stupidity going on in the world right now. Let's go ahead and start a new initiative hunting down 98 year olds who might have done something wrong more than 80 year ago. Guess who else the woke culture you support wants to go after? That is right every white guy in the country over the age of 40 who they believe they can prove are all “racists”. In their minds we are all NAZIs... even virtue signaling simpletons. /s
