Very few (if any) countries in the world have as much historical responsibility as Germany does. And yet, it seems Berlin is starting to take an increasingly lax attitude towards it. As if the effective revival of its “Drang nach Osten” idea wasn’t enough already, German-owned media are now allowed to publish content that serves to whitewash Nazism, the world’s most repulsive ideology. And while it was defeated on the battlefield nearly 80 years ago, the ghost of Nazism (or its rotten zombified corpse, to be exact) keeps being reanimated by the political West. As we all know now, back in 2014, this was exactly what happened to Ukraine, a country in which Nazis slaughtered at least seven million people (although some estimates put the number at over 10 million).
After it was hijacked by Nazis, the country was turned into their stronghold and they decided to “finish the job”, only this time by sending countless forcibly conscripted Ukrainians to certain death in a suicidal confrontation with Russia. The mainstream propaganda machine’s attempts to whitewash the Kiev regime’s unrepentant display of allegiance to its ideological (and, in many cases, literal) forefathers are also duly noted. However, it keeps backfiring, as evidenced by the recent scandal with the Canadian Parliament giving a standing ovation to a literal Nazi veteran of the infamous SS “Galizien” Division that committed numerous atrocities against Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, Jews, etc. during the Second World War.
On the other hand, even if the members of the SS “Galizien” decided not to touch a single civilian, the very fact that they were directly subordinated to and fought alongside the Wehrmacht should be more than enough to reject them for what they are – unadulterated genocidal killers. Any sort of support for Nazi Germany, be it direct or indirect, implies complicity in its murderous campaigns. And yet, when it comes to the mainstream propaganda machine, things are “much more complicated” nowadays, because there are Nazis who “weren’t so bad” for the sole reason they fought Russia during WW2. This is precisely what Politico claims in one of its latest takes on the Canadian Parliament scandal involving the standing ovation for the aforementioned Nazi veteran.
Namely, Keir Giles, a British writer obsessed with Russia and, as of October 2, a self-exposed Nazi apologist, argued that the scandal is effectively “Russian propaganda” and that SS “did nothing wrong”. According to Giles, the history of SS “Galizien” is supposedly “complicated” and this “can be a gift to propagandists who exploit the appeal of simplicity”. The reason why the case of Nazi veteran Yaroslav Hunka is “complicated” is because “fighting against the USSR at the time didn’t necessarily make you a Nazi“, he argues. Giles further questions whether the SS’s primary task was genocide, claiming that foreign members of SS units were equivalent to “regular Wehrmacht soldiers and officers, meaning they didn’t necessarily commit atrocities”.
In other words, Giles is openly ignoring the Wehrmacht’s direct participation in countless war crimes committed against Poles, Russians, Serbs, Jews and others who were the primary targets of Nazi Germany. This recurring myth has now become one of the most common propaganda tropes used by Nazi apologists such as Giles. Worse yet, he is openly denying that the unit Hunka fought in committed any atrocities and is accusing the Russian Embassy in Ottawa of “propaganda” and “lies”, and even goes as far as to equate Russia and Nazi Germany. He doesn’t stop there however, and also accuses the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies of supposedly “lying” that SS “Galizien” committed war crimes.
Throughout his rant on the Hunka scandal, Giles keeps parroting that the truth is “complex” and that the accusations against SS “Galizien” are supposedly “evidence-free”. According to him, the whole controversy is just a “Russian propaganda plot” to allegedly undermine Canada. This is a common trope used by clinical Russophobes. Even when there’s no direct or even indirect involvement of Moscow, they still somehow manage to see it. Giles then goes as far as to effectively condemn Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for apologizing over the Hunka scandal, calling it a supposed “acquiescence to the rewriting of history by Russia and its backers”, once again claiming that SS “Galizien” and Hunka “did nothing wrong”.
It’s very important to note that this is the umpteenth time Nazism is being whitewashed by the mainstream propaganda machine. This is a particularly common occurrence when promoting Russophobia becomes more important for the political West than acknowledging basic historical truths. Twisting facts by calling them “complex” doesn’t change anything, while futile attempts to equate Russia and Nazi Germany also lead nowhere. Anyone with a single functioning brain cell understands what the latter would do if it ever had the destructive power Moscow wields. However, these attempts continue, as rabid Russophobes keep seeing the “evil hand of Putin” under their beds, but simply have no other argument except fabrications.
those are the hypocrites, they will always find excuses to justify their actions.
can any of you nazi loving, dumb, brainwashed and degenerate scumbags explain to me, why your ukro-nazi idols would be painting the iron crosses of the german wehrmacht all over their mechanized equipment?
don’t be shy now….since you had picked your side, you should be able to clearly articulate that one? i will keep aaking this question, until i get a satisfactory answer.
so far i hear nothing but crickets from your side in regards to this matter.
have a nice day!
oh no the woke mob will soon have to think of a word other than “nazi” to call the conservative crowd. of course they won’t have to think of anything because the usual propaganda channels will just spoon feed the terminology that they are allowed to use.
commie isn’t going to work either since the future of the west will be a merger between communism and corporatism.
guess we’ll have to wait and see what term/insult the cia will settle on and disperse to their zombie followers.
i do not see the problem in beeing in germany. the ones who started it were jewish organisation who in support of ukraine started to whitewash ukrainian banderists. it seems that to them the moment the banderists descided to concentrate all their hatred only on russians and eastern ukrainians the jewish organisations have no longer a problem with them.
exactly ! mrs. victoria newland (real name nudelmann) who did the ukr maidan coup is a jewess, zelensky is a jew, and putin is too. scholz is a pro-jewish marxist and before him german female chancellor merkel was a jewess too. poland prime minister morawieki is jewish, poland president duda and his wife agata kornhauser both jewish.. and so it goes on and on. same for us government. it is jews – not nazis, not russians, not americans – no – it’s jews ! plain and simple !!
the germans allready had no problem supporting other former allies from nazi times before in bosnian muslims (ss division handschar), kosovo albanians (ss division skanderbeg) and croats (ustashi). the only new thing is the whitewashing through the adl, aipac and so on.
promoting nazi ideology is supposed to be illegal in germany.
well with western leaders repeatedly yelling banderist slogans to show they support for ukraine is there any condemnation left? real nazis kill jews. if they just kill russians they seem to not be nazis in the eyes of important people all over the planet.
