edit: i should make explicit. this meme is prodding at liberals humanizing the soldier of the 14th Waffen SS (1st Galicia) recently honoured in the canadian house of commons. this meme is showing off a ww2 ukrainian nazi unit in a fashion similarly done with the “brave soldiers of afghanistan” who would later become the taliban.
the joke is, we would eventually glorify and humanize them as well with enough time
Remind me again, which side is whitewashing the SS?
I don’t know, which one is it? I’m not aware of any side actually painting the ss in a positive light, except for the imagination of Russians where the west is praising nazis all the time.
Assuming that’s what you meant with “whitewashing”, because that ain’t what it means
