I doubt anything will be found, and I would presume anything 'found' will be blacked out if it's not 'good enough' or doctored if it's bad enough.

Again, the problem is less that he fought with the Germans - lots of people did who weren't Nazis. I'd venture a guess and say a smaller portion of the Waffen SS weren't Nazis, and probably pretended to be just to be part of the group. Human nature.

The problem is the complicated nature of the logic being employed now. The Left has always engaged in rationalizing their morals. Technically, this means they don't have any - they just "care more" than the Right, and really that's all that matters. How you're feeling is the core of Leftist "ideology" since there isn't much left to promote the original ideology.

So you need to care, and right now caring about Ukraine and hating Russians is very, very important. Or you're a Putin apologist and evil. So even if you loved Hitler or just served him, you're ok if you hate Putin.

Ukraine has always been complicated and yeah, the Nazis made it more so. They were in a no-win situation, but by and large they sided with the Germans to push out the Russians. Don't forget a large number of Ukrainians fought against the Russians at Stalingrad. Hiwis (Nazi collaborators) are often given a pass because they were "forced" to fight for the Germans - ignoring that the Soviets ALSO forced non-Russian ethnic groups to fight for them. Hiwis represented up to 25% of the troops on the German side at Stalingrad and while they are largely pointed at as the 'weak link' the real weak link was the Italians (who were also in a not-so-good situation).

The entire region there is complicated, which is why siding with Ukraine vs Russia is a fool's game. After all, Ukraine was declared one of the most corrupt nations in the world by the EU prior to the Russian invasion, and their dedication to "democracy" is questionable at best, particularly in light of recent commentary about potentially suspending rights and elections.

As for this fellow - Aggie is correct that there SHOULD be more information about his activities. I'm doubting there is. For one reason - we "control" it. In other words, there's pretty much been a media blackout on this - and you know it's an embarrassing situation when they go out of their way to engage a media blackout.

So it's possible his records will, somehow, be "lost". Or worse, doctored.

At this point, all that's really important to know is that he fought RUSSIANS! That's the story, you know. Russians are always and everywhere bad and evil, even if you're fighting with bad and evil Nazis. Then you're a GOOD anti-fascist. Right?

The complications here are examples of how far into the nether regions of logic idiots like Trudeau and the rest of the Left have traveled.

Normally I'd agree with you. And I think I alluded to as much by pointing out that lots of soldiers weren't Nazis. But Waffen SS is a bigger issue, to be honest.

Interestingly, the Speaker of the House in Canada, apparently unaware of the error, has apologized for the standing ovation. So it appears to be more stupidity on the part of those taking part. Most political errors are stupidity rather than planning.

However, one other point. I agree BLM and Antifa are greater threats to our nation than "Nazis" - 100% in agreement. Dangerous individuals and corrupt to the core.
But if you're the one tossing around "Nazi" and then you promote one for an ovation and declaring your support for said "Nazi" - regardless of the degree to which said "Nazi" is or isn't one....you may have an issue discerning truth and this should discredit you.

Trudeau certainly is part of the cabal doing this. So are Zelenskyy's 'friends' here in the US.

At least one Canadian politician admitted his error. Let's see how many more do.

Also, you know it's an issue when a certain someone who likes to think he knows more than you, me and everyone else here doesn't even show up or make a peep.
