I don't really think it is. That article you linked is holocaust revisionism and I think you should really rethink how much grey area you think there is in this situation.
I think Lando read the same article I read from the actual historian, but it's hard to find it now.
I'm not arguing that the Holocaust didn't happen.
I just linked an article stating that this singular Ukranian man fought on a unit that was found to have committed no war crimes.
Apparently I'm having trouble with links. Lol.
Fighting on the Axis side wasn’t bad; USSR committed genocide, we had interment camps, etc
The engagement in war crimes and in genocide is bad
This person may have engaged in them and that is bad, the same as celebrating a Vietnam vet isn’t bad but celebrating a Vietnam Vet that raped his way through a village is bad
The attempts to make it black and white are a disservice and shows we’ve forgotten the lessons of WW2 where we punished the Nazis but not the Wehrmarcht
And your further comment down seems that you aren’t able to understand this. There isn’t a good side and bad side; there are good people and bad people. The side they are on is largely based on their birth; considering the USSR’s genocide was against Ukrainians they would be more likely to not take that side

This article kind of sucks.
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.
