In fact, I know you are wrong. This whole Ukraine is fascist narrative is just a lot of nonsense. Yea, some Ukrainians welcomed the Germans and even fought along side with them during WWII. Not because they were Nazi's but rather because Stalin's policies and pogroms were particularly harsh on the Ukraine and the effort to collectivize farms resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands. So, like a lot of people living in the USSR's non-Russian territories, some Ukrainians initially saw the Germans as liberators. Some even volunteered to fight for the Germans, many more were conscripted. Still, less than 300,000 served in the German Army (in various capacities) but over 6 million Ukrainians served in the Red Army.
Just about every European Nation had soldiers that fought in the SS. Ever hear of SS Charlemagne (French) or SS Viking (Norwegian/Danish) or SS Nederland from the Netherlands. The US even had vocal Nazi sympathizers in the 30's. It doesn't mean that any these countries had or have a Nazi problem. That's just ridiculous. The three of you simply don't understand what the world was like in 1941.
