Completely on brand and absolutely no one in the MSM sphere will question who was fighting against the Russians in WW2

Holy shit "people that fought in the nazi army were nazos is Russian propaganda.

Anybody else notice how this "Russian propoganda" has had a way stronger connection to reality than the libs explanation of everything for the last couple years.

I think you guys are being a bit over the top here about his:

Germans made three political concessions: It was stipulated that the division shall not be used to fight Western Allies, and would be used exclusively to "fight Bolsheviks". The other concession was in that its oath of allegiance to Hitler was conditional on the fight against Bolshevism.

Good thing there's no link between anti communism and fascism

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Things the 'good guys' do:

Bring out and parade around a Nazi for applause while brazenly lying about his actual identity and the nature of his service

[–] KarlBarqs@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

In the 50s and 60s, the easiest way to gain entry into Canada for immigration was to show a Nazi tattoo. This proved one was ideologically anti-communist and thus safe.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Bolshevism didn’t exist during WWII, therefore the Ukrainian SS division wasn’t actually loyal to Hitler

There's actually large Ukrainian exile groups living in Canada, including some linked to OUN-B (Organization Ukrainian Nationalists - Bandera faction)

Here's a Ukrainian-Canadian high school student holding a picture of the genocidal Yaroslav Stetsko

Here's a bunch of Ukrainian-Canadian children in front of a giant bust of the genocidal Roman Shukhevych

Some info about Stetsko/Shukhevych (source: https://archive.md/GZa2H):

Just goes to show you that the war against fascism is global. There is no "fleeing" to places like Canada to get away from this shit. You must arm yourself and get ready to kill fascists within your life time.

[–] Rod_Blagojevic@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Parading around the OUN flag... That really disturbs me. No liberal has learned anything from the holocaust except "history repeats itself", pretending it's a law of physics.

Our Deputy Prime Minister Christian Freeland was more than happy to pose behind the banner last year

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

She was also probably the first person to trot out the "mentioning Ukrainian nazis is Russian propaganda!" line when asked why her grandfather worked for a nazi propaganda rag.

Legit, if I found out my child’s school in a “progressive country” made students march around honoring nazis, I would tell my kid to become a bully

These are photos of SS Galicia Division veteran who was given standing ovation by Canadian parliament, prime-minister of Canada and president of Ukraine. He published these photos of himself in this division during training in Germany.

He wrote that he volunteered to join SS Galicia Division in 1943 in Ternopil region in Western Ukraine

Formed in 1943, it was largely destroyed in the battle of Brody

Completely unsurprising lmfao. The majority of SS volunteer formations absolutely sucked in combat, exceptions being for example "Nordland" but their actions were completely reckless and suicidal, achieving nothing in return. "Galizien" was among the terrible ones, units like these were good in nothing else than "anti partisan activities", and that often means pure war crimes -- hanging suspected partisans, surrendered partisans or general combat with irregular units, where the Germans conducted their war with no rules whatsoever. But when the time to face the actual Red Army came, these units were almost always utterly swept aside by the Soviets. After a good few days of intense beatings, their remnants would pull back and reorganize far from the front, where they resumed "anti partisan activities". "Galizien" took part in supressing the Slovak National Uprising, which they did by massacring civilians.

Also being volunteer formations make every single soldier absolutely guilty of every terrible action their units did, if some soldiers were forced into service there might be an argument, but there isn't, because each one of these fucks knew what they were doing. I am glad the Red Army brought ultimate justice to these pieces of shit, althrough this one might have slipped away.

And he slipped away to Canada like a fucking rat. And years later, Canada would give this fuck a standing ovation. Canada. Ask Canadian WW2 vets what they thought of the SS, ask any of their Normandy vets what they would do to any prisoner belonging to the "SS Hitlerjugend" division, this unit has a very particular history with Canadians. The SS commited numerous war crimes against Canadian troops in WW2, and these motherfuckers are now giving them standing ovations? Man fuck the west, fuck every bit of this worthless concept. Fuck all liberals, motherfuckers are an insult even to their own history.

[–] vacuumflower@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

that often means pure war crimes

It 100% meant pure war crimes. It's not like they had any competence for actual police work or any discipline for actual garrison duty or anything else valuable.

Zelenskyy and Trudeau also attended a rally in Toronto with the local Ukrainian community late Friday.

Wonder how many red and black flags they had at that rally.

[–] ziggurter@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Here's a video I found. Looks like one (Ukrainian) flag and a few itsy-bitsy souvenir type Ukrainian and Canadian flags like you might find in a margarita or something. But it looks like a small, elitest crowd of mostly people in business suits. So probably more the type who appreciate the fascism from afar and pretend it's just a necessary evil that has little to do with them because it's just their money getting soaked in blood, not their own actual hands.

Then again I don't see any shots of the people at the back, so who knows.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

America, no! Sorry, force of habit.

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Canada and the USA are full of literal Nazis. But that doesn't stop them from saying that they all fled to South America, even though most Italian, Japanese and German immigrants came before the First World War.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I had an Arab friend told me he hated Ukraine. Not hated the war or anything like, but just hated Ukraine as a whole. I definitely understood his sentiment but didn’t agree with entirely hating it even after all the obvious Nazism. I took the liberal route of bad apples, that the majority of people do not support fascism. But it’s pretty clear that my friend is correct. I hate modern Ukraine in its entirety - no different than the US or Israel or Nazi Germany or confederate south. This is what Ukraine and its western allies support. Russia shouldn’t give them any concessions

Always important to point out that more Ukrainian fought in the Red Army in WW2 than with the Nazi collaborators. Just to piss off the "national liberation" crowd.
