Why Canada (and the Ukrainian president) applauded a Nazi

Показать описание
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy joined the Canadian House of Commons in applauding a 98-year-old man that was introduced as a “Canadian hero” and “veteran of the Second World War” who fought for Ukrainian independence “against the Russians.”
That … seems fine? But anyone who Googled that veterans’ name, Yaroslav Hunka, would have pretty quickly found that Hunka was a volunteer member of the SS Galizien Division.

Just so we're clear, he wasn't just a Nazi, he was a *Volunteer Nazi*

"He fought the Soviets during WW2" - should have rung a bell there.

How to make Putin's "denazification" more believable:

It would’ve been one thing if he were just regular Wehrmacht. Dude was literally an SS soldier

And that's the funniest part, they saw the headline and didn't bother to do even a little bit of research. They just saw "he fought the Russians that means good guy"

Not only was he under Nazi command. The Galicia SS division was noted for its war crimes against civilians

Dude, you didn’t even need to Google his name, should’ve been a bell ringing in the head when they said “fought Russians” considering Soviets were allies in WW2

Edit: When I say “Allies”, I mean in terms of “Axis and Allies”.
