I would take the time to re-read the passage above and let it sink in. Prisoners don't carry revolvers or leave camp to go sell their pistol on the black market. Prisoners aren't treated at the soldiers' infirmary. Normally, regular soldiers don't carry revolvers. That was a status weapon for officers.
So, what we have is a UPA OUNb officer at a concentration camp having a really bad day. Still feeling bad? You are probably feeling confused as your sense of justice and humanity are both in play.
The reason stories like this get published is to do just that. Confuse and overwhelm you emotionally. You can't hate the boy. You can't hate the woman that was called a pig. You can't hate the dead baby. You can't even hate a father selling his weapon during a war to save his family.
Let me help. He worked at the concentration camp at Stuttgart. This was a Gestapo operation at the Hotel Silber that specialized in torturing and transport of political prisoners. Stuttgart ghettoed Jews and was a transport hub for Dachau. In 2005 the remains of Holocaust victims were found in a grave at Stuttgart.
The Ukrainian nationalists (OUNb) starved 3 million prisoners of war to death. They murdered over 250,000 Jews on their own, thank you very much. They couldn't wait for Adolf to get started, so they held the first Holocaust killing over 30000. They even celebrate that today. The OUN murdered about 500,000 Ukrainians. After WWII, they murdered another 35,000 until Stalin was able to eradicate the nationalist infestation. The next day or the day after, that man was still an officer at a concentration camp where innocent people weren't allowed to have pistols to sell on the black market.
The passage above about the dead Ukrainian baby and Nazi parents was published at a respected Jewish owned progressive news site. Do you think the author wondered if it might be distasteful or inappropriate? I don't.
Marci Kaptur claims to be Polish but her grandparents from the area are Ukrainian. She's not lying and it isn't as confusing as it sounds. There was no such thing as a Ukrainian when Congresswoman Kaptur's grandparents left. It was the Galician province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the same fashion, the people on Russian lands were called "little Russians," the people in Galicia were called "little Austrians." Being Ukrainian at that point in history meant you lived on the border of the Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It didn't become a nationality until the 1930's-50's in Canada.
She claims the Bolsheviks wouldn't let her grandparents put the cow out to pasture so they had to emigrate to the US and that this was before WW1. This means that it was during the period when Tsarist Russia controlled the area for about 4 months and as Ukrainian nationalism was taking hold of the area.
Here's where that bit of background comes into play. United States Congressional Representative Marci Kaptur, a Democrat from Ohio has openly stated on C-SPAN that Americans and people around the world owe Ukrainians a moral debt for the suffering they went through during WWII. She said this recognizing that Americans considered Stalin an ally.
But Kaptur wants the US and Russia to pay a moral debt to Axis armies our soldiers fought and her Diaspora was providing leadership for from the USA.
Today, in 2018, you get to decide if you would support Adolf Hitler's politics if you were in your grandparents' shoes today. The upside to this is you will never have to worry about what your grandparents would think about you ever again. You get to live the rest of your life knowing for sure.
According to the Hill, John McCain said that " we live in a land made of ideals, not blood and soil..." You can say this is 2018 and say Hitler is dead.
While McCain acknowledges that the blood and soil flag is the flag of Nationalism/Nazism. The Red and Black flag of Ukrainian nationalism is the Nazi war flag they carried in WWII when Ukrainian nationalists were committing atrocities. It is the Ukrainian equivalent to the 3rd Reich Swastika.
John McCain was wrong about it not flying in America. If you want to see the blood and soil flag fly proudly, go no further than Congresswoman Kaptur's Ohio, New York, Boston, Phillie, or any major city with a Ukrainian Diaspora population.
If you look at the photos quick, you'd think they were taken in Kiev. The top is Washington DC with the White House in the background. On the left bottom is in Lviv, Ukraine with UPA and Waffen SS Galician and Nictengall veterans on parade celebrating their heroism. On the bottom right is Chicago. When you want to find real political Nationalist/Nazis, it seems you don't have to look further than Marcy Kaptur's
