The Waffen-SS as “European Freedom Fighters” – excuse me?
“Despised & ostracized, the Swedish community of Waffen-SS volunteers long gathered in secret on April 14 (…) for obscure ritualistic annual gatherings at a cemetery in a Stockholm suburb.
Since the 1990s, the rituals have not needed to be clandestine: the few, now very elderly survivors now head to Sinimäe, Estonia, where they feel they are now getting the honor to which they are entitled. Here, Swedish, Norwegian, Austrian, German and other Waffen-SS veterans from Western Europe meet up with their Estonian comrades and neo-Nazi followers. (…)
According to the Tageszeitung, this March the Estonian parliament will now consider a law, which would formally designate the Estonian Waffen-SS veterans as “Freedom Fighters.” Article by Per A. Rudling (c) Defending History.com, 2012

Do not forget that in all European countries occupied by Nazi Germany, especially in countries that officially were allies of Nazi Germany, local collaboration with Nazi German forces took place. Extensive research is needed to establish true data on this issue for each country.
The biggest crimes of the 20th century in Europe were committed by both the Soviet communist and Nazi Germany regimes that sought world conquest and domination (dozens of millions of people of many nationalities were exterminated).
On the basis of preliminary secret agreement in August 1939 to divide Europe between Nazi Germany and the Russian Communist Empire (USSR) and by invading Poland the Second World War was launched jointly by imperialist Nazi Germany on September 1, 1939 and by the imperialist Soviet Union on September 17, 1939.
I’ve discovered some new information on the Internet that Soviet dictator Stalin planned a war against Germany for early July 1941 and stationed a huge amount of Soviet troops and armaments at the USSR’s Western border. I hope access to secret archives will reveal true facts. A well-known fact is that Hitler’s regime was first to attack the Soviet Union.
Communist crimes worldwide greatly surpass Nazi German crimes and crimes of their allies and collaborators.
Communist crimes committed worldwide must also be prosecuted and punished as Nazi crimes have been. Truth and real justice (punishment for all crimes) must prevail.
The issue of financial and material compensations for communist crimes especially by Russia as the birthplace of communist power must also be resolved as Germany paid compensations for Nazi German crimes to many nations including Jews for the Holocaust.
