I swear to you that I believe the Holocaust happened.
I’m trying to say that one man, who was 18 years old, in 1943, living in Ukraine (which was part of the Soviet Union at the time), might have had limited options in what he did for a living.
And if he didn’t want to his people to be a part of the Soviet Union then he could have ended up on a unit that was working against the Soviet Union. I’m not saying that was right or wrong. I’m just saying it’s more complicated than “this guy was a Nazi” and the whole government of Canada is full of idiots.
Here is an article that paints a more nuanced picture and doesn’t call every MP an idiot.
Not blaming you for posting, OP. Just wanted to offer a take with more depth than “Nazis bad”
Everyone knows Nazis are bad. This situation is more complex than that.
Don’t have any sources but it seems pretty likely that Canadian hate groups have similar sponsors to American ones so it’s a little like planting the same seeds in different soil, it’s not really a surprise when you get the same tomatoes.
