Waffen SS Veteran Gets Standing Ovation In House Of Commons

I support Ukraine and recognize how complicated Ukrainian nationalist movements of that time period were.

But the folks who keep calling Pierre a Natsee without any evidence here sure are quiet on this...

Yaroslav Hunka is a 98 year old veteran of the Waffen SS's 14th Grenadier Division, which was made up of mostly ethnic Ukrainians from the west of the country. AP calls it the "First Ukrainian Division".

It's crucial to acknowledge the atrocities committed by certain units like the Waffen SS. Standing ovation for a veteran of such a division might seem contentious. As for those who ended up in Canada or the UK post-war, it's a complicated legacy. Pressure or not, accepting former SS members raises ethical questions. It's understandable why some folks feel uneasy about it. And while we're on sensitive topics, let's not forget about military sexual trauma. It's a harrowing reality for many service members, and seeking legal support is crucial. If anyone here needs guidance on that front, check out this resource: https://ptsdlawyers.com/military-sexual-trauma/. Let's keep the conversation respectful and open-minded, even when the topics are tough to navigate.
