#2 Hardly anyone holds service in an SS unit during WWII against the veterans. Even Soviet Guards units veterans have come to terms with the fact the Waffen SS was just that: combat units.

Our media have done a typically piss poor job over the years of distinguishing between those who did commit illegal acts of war and those who served honorably on behalf of their country.

My step-Grandfather was attached to the 6th SS Mountain Division Nord in Finland. That was a combat unit.

#4 NCMike: SS Handschar was the only SS Division disbanded for reasons of cowardice. One of their duties was to guard the rail lines to Auschwitz.

#5 badanov: elements of the Heer, not to mention the Waffen SS joined in the mass killings. Citations galore abound. Not to mention the 1990s exhibit that toured the nation in the 1990s to promote this point.
