Of course. It's very possible that as a Ukrainian being oppressed, he had good reason to sign up. And his unit was never found guilty of war-crimes.

But he still swore an oath to Hitler. He still served the Nazis. His unit butchered Polish civilians.

Maybe he's a decent man, maybe he isn't...

But SS soldiers don't get to be heroes, particularly not on Parliament. Them's the breaks.

Not found to be guilty of war crimes, but with many accusations and with a record of murdering civilians.

Wonderful.
