    “Not all”, and i cannot emphasize this enough, literal fucking SS men.

    The entire organization was judged guilty for it’s critical role in the holocaust, to say nothing of the millions upon millions of people they murdered beyond the holocaust. The case was tried decades ago.

      The interesting bit about the guilt is that Canadian courts did a “Ukrainian SS are no big deal” defense, there were decades of organized white washing for them. This can also be seen in wikipedia and the empirical work of historians who did in fact link Ukrainian volunteer SS units to war crimes are diminished there or not even mentioned.
