Canada's House speaker quits: What the Hunka scandal reveals about Second World War complexities

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, September 26, 2023

Hunka, now 98, served in a Nazi unit known as the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, fighting alongside Germany in the Second World War.

Key Points: 
  • Hunka, now 98, served in a Nazi unit known as the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, fighting alongside Germany in the Second World War.
  • Jewish organizations and Poland demanded an apology from the Canadian government and Poland says it’s taking steps to extradite Hunka.

The unit’s history

    • It also shows the close ties between the conflict and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
    • The Germans initially deployed the unit to fight the advancing Soviet army, which was moving westward.
    • Local Ukrainians were divided over its formation, some considering it mere “cannon fodder” for the German army.

Cleared of war crimes

    • The history of the SS Division and the arrival of some of its members in Canada was featured in the Deschenes Commission Report of 1985-86, which cleared most soldiers of war crimes.
    • In Russia, there is an investigation into the “genocide of Russians” during the Second World War.
    • One such transgressor is imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny — vilified for “insulting” a Second World War veteran — but the list is a very long one.

Ammunition to Russia

    • Russia seeks evidence in western countries that justifies its propaganda, and Canadian Parliament has provided it with much-needed ammunition for a tired and erroneous argument.
    • Firstly, the murders of Ukrainian Jews during the Second World War must be remembered, and the complex context of Ukraine during the Second World War must be clarified.
    • In response, many Ukrainians in Poland abandoned democratic politics in the 1930s and joined extreme nationalist formations.

Ukraine more democratic than Russia

    • Ukraine is far more democratic than Russia.
    • There are far more neo-Nazis in Russia than in Ukraine.
    • So, Russia must return over and over to the Great Patriotic War to justify its argument — that Russia “saved” Europe and democracy.
    • Accuracy about the Second World War can dispel Russian myth-making and expose its current imperialistic and savage war aims in Ukraine.
