Large numbers of soldiers from a Ukrainian Waffen SS division fled to Canada after the war.
Not just talking about regular German soldiers but waffen SS, Impossible for SS soldiers to not be war criminals. At least release the breakdown on what level of Nazi collaborator the “subjects” were. Unless of course they are embarassed by the results.
The main defence I see is that they were stuck between a rock and hard place so they went with the best option. Another argument is that those in the Waffen SS were just kids and didn’t know any better, plus they totally didn’t commit any war crimes! The main idea that’s pushed is that the Soviets were worse than the Nazis, which isn’t true but people here are more than happy to believe it.
