That would imply the SS is bad, which is politically inconvenient right now. Keep in mind - There are a good number of people in important places in Ukraine who think the SS Galacian Division were the good guys.
Some time in the last year we spent most of a day hunting down the origins of various heraldry in the region around Kiev because we were trying to figure out if a rampant lion figure was tied to the 14th Waffen SS Grenadiers 1st Galacian. I think in the end we concluded that it was not, as it was just the rampant lions without the three crowns of the 1st Galacian logo, and that lion had a much longer history in the region than the Nazis.

Fucking KKKlanada. "We're going to let the members of the war criminal organization in because we checked and these smol beans didn't actually do any war crimes" or some bullshit. Canada and the US both have important Ukrainian Nazi organizations that were sheltered and protected throughout the Cold War with exactly the outcome we're seeing in Ukraine in mind. Which is fucking bizarre because they were never popular during the actual war.
Referred to as its SS division but not SS somehow
