But it’s 3 German stick grenades, totally unrelated to 2 German stick grenades on the Dirlewanger brigade’s emblem.
Slobba Ukulele, sweaty.
i kind of thought they were fasces at first glance, not that that is any better lmao
legit i think that’s how it mostly goes. they either get to be poster children for recruiting efforts or get the cushy jobs of going around rounding up 45 year old dads trying to hide from MPs so they can feed their sick child
idk Azov proved to be disturbingly motivated fighters. Sure some of them are like this, but let’s not underestimate committed fascists as fighters. Their danger goes beyond rhetoric and policy after all
They got cornered in a hole and immediately defeated lmao. Where does this heroic narrative come from even here? They died like rats
The US put them in positions of leadership in the 2014 coup, because they were a big part of that effort. They are probably just hanging around and letting everyone else do the fighting. The Nazis are probably still not very popular in Ukraine, even as they are seen as the ultimate anti-Russia guys because Russia = USSR = the people who won WW2 against their hero Hitler.
look up dirlewanger brigade
then look up tornado battalion
Zelensky released Tornado Battalion from jail and deputized them
There is the SS and then there is the Dirlewanger brigade …which is even by SS standards the worst of the worst. According to the historian Timothy Snyder, "in all the theaters of the Second World War, few could compete in cruelty with Oskar Dirlewanger. He has also been described as the “most evil man in the SS” and as "perhaps the most sadistic of all commanders of World War II.
Yeah taking inspiration from this guy tells you all you need to know.
Considering these fellas are still alive Russia should take its mission of denazification more serious.
Didn’t the Wehrmacht literally fight the Direlwanger brigade at one point with the Americans towards the end of the war?
Timothy Snyder
Edit: for those unaware, Timothy Snyder is a big proponent of the double genocide theory - up there with Ann Applebaum and Robert Conquest - equivocates the Nazis and Soviets as being equally bad because of totalitarianism.
This time he’s correct though, Dirlewanger was one of the worst. You can read some bits even in wiki about him and his brigade, i won’t link because of intense CW’s in entire article.
You’re the nazi for pointing out these nazis.
