Coming back to this video after a Ukrainian SS man was given a standing ovation in the Canadian parliament. Really goes to show how clueless most people are about what happened in the Second World War and the shameful lack of prosecution for so many war criminals.
@@vandelayindustries6128 and!?!?! you have the 3 Abrahamic holy psyops branch on both side of the Frontline right now!!! Christians have kills Christians.... same for Muslims and Jews!!! nothing new under the SUN!!
The west chose not to prosecute ex-nazi criminals, but to use them instead in their upcoming fight with USSR. Latvians, Lithuanians, Estonian nazi offspring diasporas have a huge influence on the politics of the states they even do not live in. Now it is time for Ukraine. I think you can understand that the sole reason is to confront Russia and create a lot of tension on the border.
It’s also interesting to note that there have been parades of former SS troops in Latvia and Estonia. Absolutely openly. With no discouragement from any of the other EU countries.
Those formations never participated in any kind of genocide, they served as front-line soldiers. It is hard to believe, but the Latvian SS Legion served as guards at the Nuremberg trials, guarding Nazi war criminals.
This is madness, The younger generation has no idea about the historical truth in World War II! What is going on in the Western press today is a creative lie
Once I've heard in Estonia that nazis were war heros and there was no jews in there, they were fighting the soviets. First I got shocked then I gave a big ironic laugh. Unbelievable.
Absolutely disgusting. I watched the portrayal of his SS colleagues in Schindler's List last week. Now I will never get the haunting music from the film and the Canadian parliamentarians clapping and cheering out of my mind. I feel completely sick.
@@Sleepery22 Mark Felton released a video detailing how Ukraine raised three divisions of SS men to fight the Russians. Half of these men served as guards in the death camps, the rest went to Normandy where doubtlessly they shot and killed Canadian soldiers storming Juno Beach on June 6th, 1944.
It should be. The problem is, our primary and secondary school educations are still heavily influenced by the anti-communist propaganda of the cold war. Our education systems still, to this day, carry that water. Glossing over the Soviet-German war, and downplaying it as much as possible to diminish the role the Soviets played in defeating the Nazis.
We had it but after many conservative government and educational cuts done by them they probably removed it because on of their old time party members belong to this same division.
There are 50+ streets named after Bandera, Shukhevich and likes from OUN in modern day Ukraine. You can't commemorate nazi collaborators on a state level, and at the same time pretend that where are no neo-nazi following in Ukraine because Zelensky is a Jew. "Ukraine above all" and "Ukraine for Ukrainians" is a main narrative in Ukraine today as it was in ultranationalistic Ukrainian circles during WWII.
The more threatened a group is, or feels itself to be, the more extreme its attitudes are likely to become, and the more violent their response to threats. Quite why the Russian government felt it would be advantageous to stick their hand into this particular bag of snakes is debatable.
Well, well, you should have begun with the main Nazi colaborant, and that is tovarishch comrad Stalin, to whom there are presently thousands of monuments and street names in present day Russia. Nationalism in Europe, including Ukrainian one was always a response and counter measure to Soviet communo-fascism.
This is still living history. The Canadian Parliament gave a standing ovation to a 98 year old veteran who was in the House of Commons for Zelensky's visit. He was identified as someone who fought for Ukrainian independence from Russia in WW2, but it only came out afterwards that he was in the Gallician SS!
They know exactly what they were doing. What they need to be shown is most people arent stupid and they dont actually control the internet - just parts of it.
wow, how terrible that is! It must be the biggest crime that has been committed this year. Yeah, let us made more presentations about ww2 criminals, it is very important amid Putin's invasion in Ukraine.
@@bertblue9683 I agree - they should not applause to the war criminal Putin after what he did in Chechnya and Georgia - it would not be the war in Ukraine now.
The current deputy Prime Minister of Canada Chrystia Freeland is the granddaughter of a former Nazi news paper editor who operated in Ukraine and Poland during WW2 his name being Chomiak. He was amongst those mentioned who arrived in Canada out west. Canada today has a very large 3 million strong diaspora. Freeland states in her autobiography that her grandfather was a great influence on her political outlook in her teen years. She looked right at home on a quick tour with Trudeau 10 days ago smiling her way around Kiev glad handing along with Trudeau whilst presenting another cheque for $500 million.
I've read that the newspaper that Chrystia Freeland 's grandfather was given by Nazis would run recruitment ads for SS Galicia and print Goebel's speeches.
deputy Prime Minister of Canada Chrystia Freeland is evil, she lies about her grandfather Michael Chomiak (a.k.a. Mykhailo Khomiak) Editor-in-chief of daily newspaper an Ukrainian newspaper with its headquarters in Vienna, that was published from 1940 to 1945. It was described as "vehemently antisemitic." Nazi propaganda daily, published during World War II in the Ukrainian language with the Nazi-German financial aid, and with exposure orchestrated by Joseph Goebbels himself. The anti-Jewish materials published in Krakiws'ki Visti contributed to the mass murder of Jews.
Her grandfather was one of many, the most capable nazis went to the US, for example, Adolf Heusinger, even became NATO chairman for military committee 😂 Or Werner von Braun, one of the most important people in NASA when they made the moon landing, for more informations on nazis that went to the US, check out paperclip operation. Its crazy how much was hidden from us when it comes to the nazis. Operation gladio also interesting. With all the factual background informations, it’s no surprise that NATO is helping Ukraine to defeat Russia

@@mihrom6140 I will. Because there are no significant 14 SS division crime records. If you're trying to convey historical truth, then you should do it with correct details.
@@atoki2 In the West, because of the Cold War, they refused to recognize evidence from the East when investigating the crimes of the SS division "Galicia". If there is a murder in one house, will you look for evidence of murder in another house? All these are attempts to shield Nazi war criminals.
@@atoki2 there aren't significant 14 SS division crime records - you are right... BUT! At the end of the war - after disaster of 44 where Glizing were almost destroyed by russians (70%), the germans took into their ranks: concentration camp wachman's (ukrainians who were killing poles, slovak's and jews with cold blood in there), upa-collaborant police (Ukrainian who couldn't get into Glizen during unit forming - as there was two times more of applicants than open positions back then - they cooperated with upa, directly murdered or helped upa in genocide), and other criminals. That's right - the 14 SS division at the end of the war was mostly assembled by people who were killing Poles, Slovaks or Jews.

It is estimated that the total number of people killed in genocide by Ukrainians and different fractions of the OUN is around 850,000. Belorussians, Poles, Jews, Slovaks, Czechs, Roma, Russians, Armenians, Hungarians, Georgians and 70 000 Ukrainians. It is important to know that the local Ukrainian population voluntarily participated in all preparations and the killings of its neighbors. The participation of Ukrainian civilians in the genocide was so high that most of the killing was done by local Ukrainian peasants. As a reward, they always split with OUN the property of the killed people.

In the winter and spring of 1944, the SS-Galizien participated in the destruction of several Polish villages, including the village of Huta Pieniacka, were about five hundred civilians were murdered. The Polish historian Grzegorz Motyka has stated that the Germans formed several SS police regiments (numbered from 4 to 8) which included "Galizien" in their name. Those police regiments joined the division in Spring 1944. On 23 February 1944, before being incorporated into the division, the 4th and 5th police regiments had participated in anti-guerrilla action at Huta Pieniacka, against Soviet and Polish Armia Krajowa partisans in the village of Huta Pieniacka, which had also served as a shelter for Jews and as a fortified centre for Polish and Soviet guerrillas. Huta Pieniacka was a Polish self-defence outpost, organized by inhabitants of the village and sheltering civilian refugees from Volhynia. On 23 February 1944, two members of a detachment of the division were shot by the self-defense forces. Five days later, a mixed force of Ukrainian police and German soldiers shelled the village before entering it and ordering all the civilians to gather together. In the ensuing massacre, the village of Huta Pienacka was destroyed, and between 500 and 1,000 of the inhabitants were killed. According to Polish accounts, civilians were locked in barns that were set on fire, while those attempting to flee were killed.
Similarly, Ukrainian police locked people in a barn and set them on fire in a Belorussian village Khatyn (and in many other villages). The Soviet film "Go and See" is about this story.
did you forget all the POLISH SS that fought against the Americans and British and French in France? And hunted down French Resistance and civilians? There were thousands of SS troops from ALL over Europe. And just because they were "SS" does NOT mean they committed war crimes. If you want war crimes....then put ALL Serbians and Croats on trial!! Every single last one of them!!! EVERY man, woman and child...old enough to carry a grenade! And don't forget the Norwegians, Danes, Dutch, Belgians, French, Italians, Spanish, Turks, ALL the Slavic ethnicities, British, Irish. The German laws forbid anyone who was not of German citizenry to be in the Wehrmacht. BUT...the SS were a military force outside these German laws. Thus, many men and women from non-German countries joined the SS. towards the last year of WW2, it is estimated that HAL or MORE of all the SS left fighting until the end of the war were NON-Germans. And by the way....MANY Slavs fought with the Germans for the chance to kill the Bolshevik Communists. Learn something about the German propaganda during that time. The Nazis and OTHERS were all promising to unite ALL of Europe as one greater "republic" and destroy Bolsheviks and Communists. Not just Jews, of which Jews were the biggest adherents to the socialist ideology, and quite frankly still are. Which led to a lot of the anti-Jewish sentiments among the populace even though they had no other reason to dislike their Jewish neighbors. THAT was one of the reasons SOME of these people chose to fight with the Germans. In fact, the German high command wanted to arm ALL of Ukraine to kill the Russian Communists while the German Army went on holiday! It was the MOST Far-Flung event in human history and can't be easily wrapped up in a tidy little package. There was so much, with so many, in so many places. The affects are directly felt today for ALL of us on this planet.
And today want to relive their narcissistic psychopathic 'glory days' but performed by another but similar "tribe/group" in similar massacre-style just without guns.
When I watch this documentary into how the British Government gave refuge to war criminals who fought against the Soviets exclusively, therefore should have gone through trials, convicted, and left to rot in prison, but for reasons known only to Seers, the British kept them safe, and well hidden to be used as spies against the USSR, some of them left to settle in Canada, and Hunka was one such example. This is called discriminate justice that applies until this day where some criminals escape justice, and enjoy life as if thay committed no crime!!!!!.
WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) - The speaker of Canada's House of Commons on Sunday apologized for praising an individual at a parliamentary meeting who served in a Nazi unit during World War Two. Two days earlier, Speaker Anthony Rota had recognized 98-year old Yaroslav Hunka as a "Ukrainian hero" before the Canadian Parliament. Hunka served in World War II as a member of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, according to the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights group that demanded an apology. Rota in a statement took responsibility for what was characterized as an oversight, calling the initiative "entirely my own." "I have subsequently become aware of more information which causes me to regret my decision," he said, adding his "deepest apologies" to Jewish communities.

I used to work as a travel agent and back in the early 2000's I sold a couple of tickets to Kiev to an old Ukrainian man who had not been back to the country since WW2. He said that he had worked for the Germans as an interpretor which meant that her was persona non grata until Ukraine became indepenent when the USSR collapsed. He might well have been just a trsnalsator but I always wondered if there was more to his story than he choose to disclose.

You may be aware that this week, a veteran of this division was honoured in parliament up here in Canada (a "little oopsie" but nothing new for the current administration). It was uncanny because just days before that I had watched this video and was surprised that there were memorials honouring Nazis in Canada and abroad. Then lo and behold, I see this scandal unravel before me, and I thought "if you're a WWII veteran, and you fought against the Russians in Europe, that puts you squarely in one faction ..." and as it turns out he's a member of SS Galizien ! The ghost of wwii isn't quite done haunting us yet
Thanks for this, Mark. I had a summer job in a Derbyshire quarry in the mid-80s and one of the people I worked with was an Eastern European in his 60s who spoke no English other than a stream of obscenities. One of his co-workers told me that he had fought against the Soviets in the war and lived in "a Russian gypsy colony over the hill." I've long suspected that he might have been a member of one of the foreign SS divisions and this video does seem to confirm that. Keep up the excellent work.

As a child I met a former Nazi and Jew who’d become friends. They both passed on now but most people saw them as old white immigrants speaking a then communist language.

There were many articles in the English-language press about Ukrainian neo-Nazism. Articles published ten years ago, maybe earlier. And in Ukraine all this time, neo-Nazism was gaining momentum.

À Bêla Tserkva, en Ukraine, sur la route d'Uman, ils ont massacré 1000 enfants dans un orphelinat, (leurs parents avaient été massacrés auparavant,) et les enfants ont été rassemblés dans cet orphelinat. Ils avaient entre 6 mois et 10 ans. L'orphelinat avait été abandonné et personne ne s'occupaient des enfants. Les nazis ukrainiens les ont massacrés et ont brûlé l'orphelinat. Les nazis ukrainiens anciens et nouveaux sont une honte pour l'Ukraine. Leurs crimes doivent être connus.
Je confirme. Face à l'avancée victorieuse de l'Armée Rouge, ils se sont enfui lâchement et se sont mêlés aux victimes de guerre pour se faire passer pour des victimes. C'est le temps des révélations, leurs crimes seront dévoilés un à un et l'histoire ne pourra plus les glorifier dans des livres dégoûtants.
The division only really entered active service in early 1944 and entered into combat with the Soviets not long after that. And according to the reports, it did not scatter but held its ground while being heavily outnumbered and suffered heavy casualties.
They massacres the Jews of Lviv in 1941. Civilians Jews. They took off the clothes of Jewish women an girls and parades them in the city before murdering them. Children, elderly men - all were murdered by those sadists. They also murdered a huge number of Polish peasants in Volyhn, not sparing either women or children. They exterminated the Armenian community of Lviv. Those crimes cannot be justified. Hunka should be tried and punished.

Great article. It would still be good to see one exclusively about Ukrainian murders of Polish civilians in Volhynia and eastern Lesser Poland. The bestiality they committed was unparalleled anywhere else, yet the subject is virtually unknown in the West, thanks mainly to Ukrainian propaganda and the actions of the people mentioned in this video. Even today, despite the fact that Poland is helping them against Russia and taking thousands of Ukrainian refugees, they don't want to admit that it was genocide, don't allow research, exhumations and the commemoration of victims, and the word "we're sorry" still doesn't want to cross their throats.
Croatian fascists were not better, hundreds of thousands Serbs have been killed in dead camp of town called Jasenovac. Check for it on internet. They are speaking only about yews. Yet again west is supporting fascisme,and I am surprised Poland support ukr nazis.
@@i8Hardcore We are NOT talking about analogues. Top brass of Japanese decision makers of the period were tried and executed - see TOKYO TRIAL (equivalent to the Nuremberg Trials).
It would be interesting to do a video on the Dutch SS, who were the second largest national group in the Waffen SS after Germans. They voluntered on purely ideological grounds. Many fought on the eastern front and undoubtedly committed war crimes. After the war and the dutch SS return to the Netherlands, many were put on trial but received only token sentences. The same is true of Swiss germans in the SS, who were not put on trial in Switzerland after the war.

The author omitted to recall all terrible crimes committed by these " lovely guys" against civilians in Ukraine, Russia and Belorussia. More than 100000 Polish,Russians, Ukrainian,Juwish people were killed. Sometimes in the most brutal ways. Also unfortunately British and American intelligent services used these criminals after the end of WWII on the territories of the ex Soviet Union to terrorise civilians just to trouble the USSR. Last of these " heroes" were killed or captured by 1954 as far as I remember. What worries me the most - now it's happening again. USA and GB employ the ugliest and most disgusting ideologies against any country which opposes them just to maintain Western economical and political interests all around the world.

Thanks very much for revealing this history,especially as it applies to today's events in Europe.Good to see some honest,objective history.WW2, indeed,casts a long shadow.
The horrors of the Holodomor caused many Ukrainians to see the Nazis as liberators. Stalin wiped out about 4 million Ukrainians. In recent history it was Putin who fomented nationalism with Russian speakers.
Yes. Exactly so. Like my favorite Russian Loyalist and the creator of Babylon 5 JMS once said in his script, " The Shadows were only defeated- not destroyed. " And now they're back and on the move. And the so called " civilized world " adores them!
Google translation : Many thanks and huge respect to Mark for telling the truth. Modern Ukrainian historians try to keep silent about these facts or even outright lie. And quite right : in order to understand what is happening now in Ukraine, you need to know the beginning of this story. Mark has shown us this wonderfully. God bless you, Mark ! 🙏👍
This video telling the same quality of history as if Britains would be doing war instead of Germans... Any of Ukrainian (OUN etc) army was not doing any genocide during WWII, and this hilarious blst teller Mark is just prepaid talking mouth, nothing more.
This has quite virtually little to do with the Russian Invasion, considering the Russians never made issues over Ukrainian Nazi-Collaborators of WW2 until 2014 when the country completely turned against the Russian state. Russia is perfectly fine with any form of Nationalism or Nazism, any various system of ruling whether totalitarian or democratic so long as you're Pro-Russian. Talk to Far-Right/Neo-Nazis from various countries and they're largely against Ukraine. Why? Because Ukraine is with the West of whom they despise. They love Russia though.
What you wrote is 100% correct. However, the bestial crime in Volhynia was not the beginning of history - the case is more complicated and intricate and has been going on for centuries.
Congratulations Mark. This is truly the most well researched doc on this subject. I too am here after the Hunka fiasco in Canada. I totally agree with other commenters that this needs to be shared with the Canadian Parliament, if not to educate them, then at least to shame them for their ignorance. Sad that in this age of easily available historical research that so few know of it (or probably don’t care).
Educate them? You’re so naive if you think that they didn’t know. They knew perfectly well who and what they’re doing and supporting. Why do you think they helped put them into power 2014, and have been funding and arming them to kill the Russian-speaking population in the Donbass for the past decade?
Well done! This is yet another reason why understanding history is needed to understand the present and no one better to tell the story than Dr. Felton. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Once again Russia has invaded Ukraine and is slaughtering innocent civilians and once again Ukrainian men and women have picked up arms to fight them. During WW2 there was no nation of Ukraine and no Ukrainian army. The Russians were a known enemy, the Germans (as the Ukrainians saw it) were giving them the chance, weapons, training and support to fight back. The "nazi" emblems modern Ukrainian volunteer units wear are from Ukrainian SS *_combat_* units that fought the Russians, not the Swastika.

Thanks Mark, great work. Considering the current "slava Ukraini" state of affairs, I am sure that It takes some courage to tell this story. However, and despite your courage, you do not have any subscribers in the Canadian Parliament. Thanks, Boba
A former colleague of mine was from West Cumbria and his father was Ukrainian. He said his father described himself as a 'freedom fighter' who had fought with the Germans on the Eastern Front against the Soviets. He always called them Soviets, never Russians, and if anyone asked him any questions about it he would clam right up. I understand why now.
At that time they were Soviets. What made the Soviet have a wet stern bad name was the way they were treated by the Germans. The rapes, murders and being burnt alive activities of Germans and their lap dogs like western Ukrainians and Baltic States. While Stalin was a great wartime leader I believe he went made in the end and retaliated against those murderous German led Nazis. 26.6 million Soviets lost their lives so that they could win the war in Europe. This saved many more allied lives on the beaches of Normandy and their advance. How the allies replayed them was to plan an extension of WWII by invading the Soviet Union. Winston Churchill devised this plan and was ready to execute it only US stopped it. So disillusioned with the west the Soviets built a buffer zone between them selves and the untrustworthy west which was the Warsaw pact. This actually was carved out and agreed at the Yelta conference between the big 4. The mistake I find we make in the west is to accept the misinformation and propaganda we are bombarded with by our state ren media what are controlled by people in the WEF. History are being rewritten before our very eyes and many people in the west believe it. I can tell you that the Bolshevik Zionists were far worse that Stalin. I say that with confidence as my family faced these thugs in Saint Peterburg where many were murdered before my Grandparents fled to Ireland. The horror stories they told were horrendous. They are inline with the recollections od the Germans, western Ukrainians and other German allies. Personally I would align the US regime and NATO members more with these for their illegal activities in former Yugoslavia (now in Kosovo) and the Middle East. Thing is we all have the rights to believe what we feel is true. No one should force their ideology on others. While I respect other people’s views, I do ask people not to take any media at face values, research is needed.
I remember as a kid growing up in Toronto, Canada one of our neighbours was an elderly Ukrainian couple. Most of the people the neighbourhood we elderly and a large portion were post-WW2 British immigrants. No one in the neighbourhood seemed to like the Ukrainian couple and they were never invited to neighbourhood events. Yes later I asked my parents about them and they told me that the husband has served in the SS in WW2 and would openly talk and brag about his war crimes.
There's a neighborhood in NYC called "Little Ukraine." As in Canada, after the war, a lot of Ukrainians and other people who fought for the Nazis were imported into the US as reliable anticommunists, to be the vanguard of secret operations against the USSR and other Cold War enemies. Look up the ugly history of the World Anti-Communist League.
Average Banderite! The first statue of a ukranian erected in Canada was in Edmonton, Alberta. The person for whom the statue honoured? Roman Shukhevych.
The massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia by Ukrainien is one of the worst and disgusting in history. I have seen The movie about this, which I never can see again, and after about 35/40 minuts I seriously checked if this was a movie about the war or a horror movie and I was shocked it was a serious realistic movie and made me believe that if we push God our Lord out our lives we all are vulnerable for demons / satan like this event showed.
Croatian did the same to Serbs in Croatia, in town called Jasenovac,it was a dead camp for Serbs, they also had camp for childeren. Hundreds of thousands Serbs have been brutality killed. Check for Jasenovac camp. Many stories about.
Serbian lies. Number of human remains in Jasenovac are not serbians because they had Croatian uniforms. Scientific researched were stoped by jugoslav comunist when they found that. Huge war crimes against people Serbs comited in Croatia and BiH (eg. Vukovar, Dubrovnik, Karlovac, Sisak, Zadar... Sarajevo, Srebrenica )1991.- 1995. and that is no lie.
The Ustaše slaughtered inmates with a knife that became known as the "Srbosjek" (Serbian Cyrillic: Србосјек, lit. 'Serb-cutter').[120][115][8][121][122] The construction was originally a type of wheat sheaf knife, manufactured prior to and during World War II by the German factory Gebrüder Gräfrath from Solingen-Widdert, under the trademark "Gräwiso" On the night of 29 August 1942, prison guards made bets among themselves as to who could slaughter the largest number of inmates. One of the guards, Petar Brzica, boasted[116] that he had cut the throats of about 1,360 new arrivals.[
Quite significant fact is that since Maidan in 2014, UA governments have prohibited Poles from searching for and exhuming the remains of their relatives (parents and granparents) who were tortured and murdered during the Volhynia massacre.
5000 Ukrainian SS were in a prisoner of war camp at a big house which sits derelict in Haddington east Lothian. There's a book called Morningside Mataharis which has lots of info on this time.
They were in the camp in the grounds of amisfield House not actually the house. I remember growing up in the 70sthere were a lot of old Ukrainian men worked locally
And the great cover up of Ukrainian Waffen SS war crimes would have been complete had it not been for the utter stupidity of the Trudeau regime in Canada who recently honoured a veteran of the 14 Waffen SS in the parliament during a visit by Ukrainian leader Zelenski to Canada. It has opened up a world of anger and Poland have now requested the deportation of the SS veteran for war crimes in Poland. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive." Sir Walter Scott.
Whitewashing SS is a new low. Melnik as moderate is a joke. Does not mention pogroms organized by Ukranian nationalists when Red army withdrew and Germans have yet to arrive.
Mark is either ignorant or shilling for the Blake Association. Those Russian Cossacks ( Krasnovs, Shkuro, etc ) never lived one day under the Bolsheviks. So his argument that the reason the Brits " gave up " the Russian ROA and coddled the Ukrainian UPA and OUN was because the Ukrainians were never de jure " Soviet " is pure BS. They " needed " Bandera and had no use for Vlasov. That's all.
And there is something else. Considering that the Holodomor is a purely East Ukrainian trauma, are we to believe that there were no former Soviet citizens from say Kharkiv or Poltava in those units??? Mark must really think we're stupid if he's peddling this kind of garbage.
Just goes to show that USSR really had no allias, all of them held a dagger behind their back, ready to help seemingly common enemy. In other words, nothing has changed except for the fact that they are more open about it this time. "Russians are dying, best money we ever spent" - Blinken.

Russia manipulates and distorts history because it wants to justify its attack on Ukraine. All of Europe is helping Ukraine in the war. So that Ukraine could defeat the invaders. This information is aimed at specifically digesting Poland and Ukraine and spoiling the image of Ukraine, when it heroically defends itself from the Russian invasion. During the Second World War, Soviet troops dressed in UPA uniforms and killed Poles, Ukrainians were always friendly with Poles. Bandera was in prison all the time during the war in Germany. So it's all a lie! now Russia is bombing peaceful Ukrainians every day!kills people, children, kidnaps Ukrainian children and forcibly takes them to Russia. Putin is recognized as a criminal in the international court in The Hague.
The report missed the brutal slaughter which caused in Wolhynia in 1944, when ukrainian Nazis did an unbelievable cruel bloodshed among the civilians including children of all ages. This action based on the deep rooted hate against Polishs, Russians and Jews.
Ruscist nazis, approve of this narrative. More ACTUAL ruscists were fighting on the side of nazis than ANYBODY ELSE (other than Germans)... let that sink it, while you're gulping down kremlin propaganda...

@@informedtraveler3014 winter and spring of 1944, the SS-Galizien participated in the destruction of several Polish villages, including the village of Huta Pieniacka, were about five hundred civilians were murdered. The Polish historian Grzegorz Motyka has stated that the Germans formed several SS police regiments (numbered from 4 to 8) which included "Galizien" in their name. Those police regiments joined the division in Spring 1944. On 23 February 1944, before being incorporated into the division, the 4th and 5th police regiments had participated in anti-guerrilla action at Huta Pieniacka, against Soviet and Polish Armia Krajowa partisans in the village of Huta Pieniacka, which had also served as a shelter for Jews and as a fortified centre for Polish and Soviet guerrillas. Huta Pieniacka was a Polish self-defence outpost, organized by inhabitants of the village and sheltering civilian refugees from Volhynia. On 23 February 1944, two members of a detachment of the division were shot by the self-defense forces. Five days later, a mixed force of Ukrainian police and German soldiers shelled the village before entering it and ordering all the civilians to gather together. In the ensuing massacre, the village of Huta Pienacka was destroyed, and between 500 and 1,000 of the inhabitants were killed. According to Polish accounts, civilians were locked in barns that were set on fire, while those attempting to flee were killed.
About Gen. Pavlo Shandruk (the one mentioned around 9:15). It's worth mentioning that he served as a special "contract officer" in the Polish military before the war (which is an interesting topic by itself, but it would take a lot to explain) and took part in the defense of Poland in 1939. He initially refused an offer to work for the Germans and spent a good chunk of the war working as a manager of a cinema theater in occupied Poland, while secretly helping Poles avoid being sent to slave labor in Germany. In summary, he was probably the best Ukrainian to talk with Gen. Anders. I guess his men were lucky that he became their commander just before the end of the war. You could really revisit this topic and make a separate video just about Shandruk.
Fascinating. If you look into the details of these historical figures you see that they are mostly honorable men and Ukrainian patriots, not nazis. Bandera was the same, both his brothers died in the camps but he survived. To call him a nazi is nothing less than insulting.
Canadian parliament under Trudeau is honoring a Waffen SS soldier on September 23rd 2023. Lots of Ukrainian SS solders were settled in Canada after the war.
they would still have given that nazi a standing ovation. I am sure even some of those clowns in the Canadian parliament knew when the speaker said how he fought Russians not Nazis in world war 2 what kind of person he was.

Mark, thank you for being objective. You make it so that people have a puzzle in their head. And people who had a one-sided view of the military conflict between the two Slavic peoples are beginning to understand something about the level of current information technology. How they try to slip them the information that is beneficial. Well done, you do it carefully, subtly. The fact that this channel is not blocked is a success.
Read Timothy Snyder's book Bloodlands, which covers Poland/Ukraine/Lithuania/Belarus in the period 1930-1947 or so. The number of people who were killed in this period in this region is mind-boggling - well over 10mm. It is an excellent, but very grim, book. The Soviets killed Ukrainians, killed Poles, killed Belarussians for ideological reasons. This included the Holodomor. Ukrainians killed Poles, Poles killed Ukrainians. Germans killed Ukrainians and Poles and Belarus and Lithuanians and, above all, Jews for racial and other reasons. Some Ukrainians, partially in reaction to Soviet killings, saw Germany as a potential ally - which was wishful thinking, because Germany invaded the USSR primarily to get its hands on fertile Ukrainian land (Hitler planned to kill most Ukrainians and enslave others) and Caucasus oil. Ukraine is called out explicitly in Mein Kampf. This helps to explain why some Ukrainians volunteered to fight for Germany. Poles killed Ukrainians. Polish and Ukrainian partisans killed Soviets, killed Nazis, but also killed each other. It was an utterly horrific period in human history. Poles had previously tried to Polonize Ukrainians - therefore Ukrainians (especially near Polish areas) were primed to fight against Poles. Fighting between Poles and Ukrainians even continued after WWII in the areas of post-war Poland that had historically had a Ukrainian presence. Residual Ukrainians within the post-War Poland were first deported to Ukraine, and then, when the window for that closed, were internally exiled within Poland to the new western (former German) parts of Poland. The honoring of Bandera is problematic, but is almost entirely a Western Ukrainian phenomena. So why are relations today so good between Poland and Ukraine, given this highly problematic history? (there was deep historical resentment between Poles and Ukraine, going back all the way to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, where most of Ukraine was governed by Polish nobility ruling Ukrainian peasants). When Poland became independent in 1989, it immediately recognized (even before the breakup of the USSR) the modern borders of Poland - it explicitly rejected any attempt to revert to the pre-WWII Polish borders. Moreover, it recognized Ukraine and Lithuania (and Belarus) as nations - even before the breakup of the USSR. Poland took the lead in a process of reconcilement between itself and Ukraine and Lithuania (and Belarus until it fell under Lukashenko). Poles, Ukrainians and Lithuanians worked very hard to recognize the crimes of the past and put them behind them. And this is why Poland has been a huge ally of Ukraine in the war. This is why Lithuania no longer worries about any kind of Polish claim to its lands (for instance, Vilnius, historically, was a Polish and Jewish city - with a minority of Lithuanians).
good afternoon. I know about Stalin's repressions. Stalin's repressions are not a secret. This is not some kind of hidden, closed information on the territory of Russia. I also read Svetlana Alekseevich's "The last witnesses", I read Varlam Shalamov's "Kolyma Stories" and other similar things. My stepfather's grandmother was sentenced to 8 years for picking two spikelets during the war years. Under Stalin. But my stepfather lived well as a child in the Soviet Union, his family was from the working class, his father was a miner, and earned well. every vacation they were sent to the sea to children's camps free of charge from the state, his and his stepfather's brother. In general, it all depends on the period we are talking about. There is a theory that Stalin mastered Kolyma, there is gold there. And people were convicted for fictitious reasons for mining resources. Every Russian knows what happened on the Island of Solovki under Stalin, on Kolyma, what GULAG camps are. As for the holodom - my opinion is that this is not true. The Holodomor is based on nationality. And what you are writing about is collectivization. When the state took the harvest from the peasants. there is a winged expression, phraseology "Starving Volga region". What does it mean? that's what they say when they see a poor, hungry person. Why does the Volga region appear? Because in addition to Ukraine, regions have suffered significantly: the Volga region, Krasnodar Territory, Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan suffered the most. The famine due to Stalinist collectivization was clearly not only in Ukraine. Therefore, it is not necessary, as Russian people say, "to pull an owl on a globe." All productive regions were starving, regardless of nationality. Therefore, this is not a Holodomor. And one of my friends, a historian by education, said well - laymen risk falling into fanaticism when reading history, since there is no knowledge base. The risk of forming a one-sided view. Because there was both red terror and white terror. And crimes were committed equally on both sides. The Whites, the Mensheviks, were first for the Germans, then they saw that they were creating madness on Russian soil and

This division was created with the goal of fighting Russians who were not much different from Nazis during WW2 (were kicked from the League of Nations), and the article states that their "popularity has soared following the 2014 war with Russia" which makes sense, so what are you whining about? If they were "celebrating SS" they would be carrying SS runes and Nazi swastikas.
@@islandlife6591 Sorry but CNN and BBC show current news, they are not digging through historical details of WW2. You will not see CNN and BBC news about Russian-Nazi alliance during WW2 (1939-1941), how Russians fed and supplied their Nazi allies during the Battle of Britain, how Russians invaded Finland and were kicked from the League of Nations, how Russians committed war crimes like the Katyn and NKVD prisoner massacres, etc. you will find these details on history channels, not on CNN and BBC.
I can recall about 40 years ago, an article about Ukrainian former soldiers who were deemed for various reasons not to be suitable for civilian life being kept in a unit which cleared mines from the coast of Eastern England. When the article was published it appeared that some of these men- now old, were still in this unit as there was really nowhere to send them as they were institutionalised and had no understanding of civilian life in Britain. I assume, they all died and the problem resolved itself but they carried on their work it seems for decades- being housed and fed, living in their own little world.
My father worked as a miner in Lancashire and Stoke on Trent 1950 - 58. The collieries around Stoke had many Ukrainians and Poles working double shifts underground. A Ukrainian population existed in the Rochdale, Lancs (now Greater Manchester) well into the 70s. Their descendants will still be there.
It is funny, but Poles actually lived alongside people who actively slaughtered Polish civilians (including children) during Volhynia massacre . They always said that Poles are not very bright people 😁
@@aleksazunjic9672 You're fundamentally one sided. Pole-ukr relationships is a story of mutual "love" that went through the centuries. Every participant in WW2 has hidden skeletons in their closet. You can lookup who was actively collaborating with Hitler before he started all that mess.
@@freudefreud it wasn't dead, it was hidden, redacted, erased and forgotten by many. And yes, it is a good time to mention this when one of the reasons for Putin's invasion is denazification of Ukraine.
I'm reading (with difficulty, but that's what google translate is for) the current Ukrainian history textbook for the 10th grade of primary school. The handbook covers the period from the WWI to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Volhynia, Eastern Galicia and Transcarpathian Ruthenia from the 15th century to 1795 and in the years 1921-1945 belonged to Poland (the border agreement between Poland and the Soviet Union was signed only on August 16, 1945). However, in the years 1918-1919, in a small part of this area, there was an ephemera called the West Ukrainian People's Republic. And on this basis, the authors of the state textbook promote the lie that allegedly there was some Western Ukraine under temporary Polish jurisdiction, then Soviet, German and again Soviet. And the "heroes" of the Waffen SS and UPA tried to liberate it. All the founding myths of the present Ukrainian government are based on total banditry, murdering people of other nationalities and other religions.
those lands were populated by Ukrainians and brutally ruled by the Polish with methods of cultural genocide (just like ruscist nazis are doing now). There's a reason why there was extremist element to Ukrainians fighting for this land.
is that so? how is it then that ukrainians in that area had polish teachers if they were not under polish jurisdiction, so many people like to pretend they know what happened but they were not living there - so how do they know for sure???
The fact that there was a Ukrainian state invaded, occupied, and carved up by Poland and the uSSr is a fact. I he division is not venerated in Ukraine (that is a fact).
@@maryanchabursky9148 It's hard to occupy something that didn't exist. Ukrainians have never been able to create their own real state. For 120 years, Poles were partially, then completely, under Russian, German and Austrian occupation. During this time, they organized 4 uprisings, took part in the War of 1812, and at the beginning of the 20th century, they organized anti-Germanization and anti-Tsarist actions. Ukrainians received their country as a gift as a result of the collapse of the USSR. Some of them are pro-Russian (the coast of the Sea of Azov and Crimea). Some people don't give a damn and want to live comfortably in rich Western countries. After the outbreak of the war, by the end of 2022, 432,000 deserters had fled Ukraine through Poland. 100,000 more than the entire Ukrainian army had. Now women, old people and disabled people are enlisted in the army because there are no people willing to fight the Russians. This is a lack of patriotism and national identity. Just post-Soviet people with neo-Nazi sentiments.
@@twardy8996 lol what is you metric for “exist”? The Ukrainian republic of 1918 was an independent state the Bolshevik’s conquered and occupied (that’s not to mention the independent states that existed prior to 1775). So yes Ukraine existed. The fact is that the uSSr included MOST of the ethnically Ukrainian territory into their occupations legal definition is irrelevant. Ado Ukraine held a referendum in 1991 it was no “gift” from the occupying forces. SOME being the key word in this case referring to a tiny minority of mostly old people. I also don’t know why you think women and children are “deserters”. Yes there is a national identity problem that has existed for centuries at this point (ruSSians just don’t like it hat it exists). No there is no “neo nazi sentiment”.
Excellent video Mark… as a young boy in the 1960s I had many Polish and Ukrainian friends of my age as I went to a Catholic school. I would go to these friends houses to play and their Grandparents were often there. My parents told me these old folks had come over to the UK during the war to get away from the Germans. Who would have thought they may have actually been fighting for the Germans and were even former SS.
@@isiahmaliklevantezimmerman6570в УПА было более 150 000 человек. Если бы их было 35 тысяч человек, то они бы не смогли контролировать территорию Украины. Практически все члены УПА служили в полиции. А еще служили в дивизии СС Галичина (20 000 человек), батальонах Нахтигаль и Роланд.
Let's not forget that In total, the Germans enlisted 250,000 native Ukrainians for duty in five separate formations. The USSR had about 4.5 million Ukrainian soldiers.
Correct !! But the one's who are running Ukraine *today* are the *fascist* ones . The fascist has been Running Ukrainian with help of the USA since 2014.
Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists actually formed their own army during WWII - Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). It was involved in ethnic cleansing of Volhynia and Eastern Galicia. With active support of local Ukrainian population, villages with Polish majority were raided during nights, their population slaughtered in the most brutal ways to scare the Poles living in bigger cities (burning children alive, gang raping, ripping pregnant women open...). About 100 000 Poles, mostly women and children, were killed in the raids, 200 000 more fled the country. These horrific crimes were "tolerated" by local German troops, with German officers often claiming part of the loot.
Already in September 1939 German come up with plan of killing Polish and Jewish population in Ukrainian uprising. The creation of UPA was nothing else than execution of that plan.
@@andrewadams6905 You are admitting that Ukraine has a Nazi problem and are trying to convince everybody that Ukrainian Nazis who killed 1.5 million Jews are good? LMAO. BTW, Ukraine got independent in 1991.

There was one of the SS men who emigrated to Britain who spoke years ago about his service in the 1990's I believe. He had been in the Polish army before the war and had fought against the Soviets during the invasion. Due to his military experience as an NCO he was conscripted into the Waffen SS. While the majority were volunteers, apparently this was fairly common as any man in Galicia who had previous military experience was eligible for conscription into the Waffen SS unit from 1943 onwards, and since most of the male population over the age of 25 had served in the Polish military as part of their conscription a lot of guys got dragged into it.
The first person convicted of war crimes in the uk was syzmon serafinowicz,grandfather of peter serafinowicz the comedian..there was a scandal some years back that he attempted to cover it up..
No, you are not right. Germans did not have reason and did not conscript people from Galizia. You have to volunteer and agree to it to join police. There is no way in hell they conscript to elite ss force. I know I am from Galizia.
@@witoldromanek365 you can read the documents from the SS office. Most weren't in the police, and anyone who had military experience could be conscripted and many were.
@@gabrielbakalarz5722 yeah no, my knowledge about Ukraine wasn’t zero buddy, I was remarking on the timing this video came out, which was 3 months ago, to what happened the other day! You’re obviously not too bright! Common sense is not common to everyone apparently!
