Why would one want to dishonor their countrymen who fought and died then rewrite or outright ignore history unless they held similar beliefs and sympathizing with them..? “Lest we forget” is all well and good but is hollow without tangible action backing it up.
This is what I call "Era of Post-Truth", where Truth is not even taken into consideration, and "schizofrenia" is proposed as "New World Order". They prefer simply ignore all memoirs of people who fought Nazism, and even memoirs of people from OUN themselves, where former members agree that OUN were simply Nazi outlet and not for "Ukrainian idea".
The Canadian government was fully aware who Jaroslav Hunka was. There are a lot of papers that you have to submit to the RCMP to attend Canadian Parliament. That's ridiculous to believe the government claims that they didn't know.

The politicians were probably not as ignorant as you think Pierre Trudeau (father of Justin) was more or less a fascist in his youth. Michael Chomiak (grandfather of deputy pm Chrystia Freeland) a leading Ukrainian Nazi. ‘…..democracy was bad and that fascism -- as represented by Mussolini and Pétain -- was good. Thus, even as a young man of twenty-three, Trudeau was ignoring the war in Europe and plotting a revolution to take Quebec out of Canada. The picture that emerges is of a Quebec elite that was raised to be pro-fascist, and where Nazi atrocities were dismissed as English (Canadian) propaganda."

ignorance in a politician is a serious fault, but I consider it much more serious when they fully conscientiously support and help with our money a government whose national hero is Stepan Bandera , Thx Mr Felton
@lupodimontenero661 that's either ignorance on your part or you are being disingenuous. Bandera is indeed hailed as a hero by some in Ukraine, however others see him as a treacherous Fascist. This us why he was only officially recognised as a "Hero of Ukraine" for less than a year before internal pressure forced the then government to rescind the tittle in 2011.
@@calummackay8330 wow! How about 50+ streets named after Bandera in modern day Ukraine? It’s 2023 last time I’ve checked and he is still celebrated as a hero, title or not. BTW the title was rescinded by the next president, which speaks a volume, on the grounds that Bandera was never a Ukrainian citizen. That’s the “disingenuous” in nutshell for you.
@edilemma8052 as I stated he is indeed hailed as a hero by some in Ukraine. Yup, they named streets after him because of this. The title was rescinded due to public backlash. It was not removed specifically because he was not a citizen or it would never have been awarded in the first place. Sadly, this excuse had to be made because like many other nations in the former USSR (Poland and Latvia to name two) there are many fascists in Ukraine. There are also many in Russia.

The problem is that JT's dad (at least on the birth certificate...) was pro-nazi during the war, riding around Montreal on his motorcycle wearing a spiked helmet as a sign of that support.

I'm a canadian lawyer and when I heard this story, even before it was broken that Hunka was an SS I knew he was. I can't believe how far our elected officials and even our media have fallen. A mere idea of WW2 would let you know that "A ukrainian who fought the russians in ww2" was almost certainly an SS. And even if he was a partisan they too allied with the Germans by 1944. Therefore no exceptions are known.
Indeed. However it is also important to remember the USSR and Stalin did horrible stuff to Ukraine. Stalin caused millions to starve to death in the Ukraine before WW2. So, yeah, of course, the Ukrainians were willing to back the Nazis if it meant freedom or at least getting rid of Stalin. Does that mean the Ukrainians soldiers who fought against the USSR with the Nazis should be cheered? No. But it is important to understand how their actions were justified in their minds.
Very much so, there was a clear indication by the Germans when they first invaded Ukraine that it would lead to their independence this was reneged on but Ukrainians still held out hope. A large number of Ukrainians worked in support services for the Wehrmacht, which didn't make them Nazis or SS they just wanted to feed their families. Pragramitism which isn't a word the previous poster grasps. @@taoofjester4113
True, but the genesis of the Red Army and the Soviets as a whole was Russia. Without Russia neither would have existed. And this is an important point to know because without Russia, the millions killed by the Soviets probably would not have ever happened.
Annoying to see modern Russians claim all the credit for the Soviet victory when most of the war on the eastern front was fought outside of the Russian Soviet Republic.
Yes, a lot of nations ockupied by the Mongols from Moscow, calling that creation Soviet. Ukrainians (5 000 K I think) fighting for the creep Stalin, they were a disgrace to Ukraine.
And UK/US were soviet allies. But only because they followed principle “help the weakest, so the battle will be prolonged and both adversaries would end up weaken so western power can prevail”.

Эти черти удрали в Канаду через английскую зону оккупации еще в 45 году. Про амнистию этой мрази Никиты Хрущева, тоже ничего не читали? Издание РБК называет цифру в 55 тысяч освобожденных в результате хрущевской амнистии 1955 года для бандеровцев, на самом деле цифры гораздо больше - более 200 000 бандеровцев, власовцев, лесных братьев, полицаев и прочих предателей. Освобожденным и реабилитированным бывших пособникам гитлеровцев, в отличие от других категорий освобожденных из лагерей ГУЛАГа, компенсировалась стоимость экспроприированного при аресте имущества, а после амнистии как минимум, 1/3 бывших украинских коллаборационистов и членов их семей получили руководящие посты в органах власти западных, центральных и юго-западных районов Украины, начиная от районных комитетов партии и заканчивая республиканскими министерствами и ведомствами.

Plus, the real reason, above all else, was to force Germany to engage in unequal trade and exchange highly-complicated military-grade production equipment for raw, unprocessed materials, which was very beneficial for USSR. Stalin signed that treatment with Hitler not to avoid the war, but to force Germany to literally prepare USSR to war with it's own hands and money. After 1939 and after first slavic people started to be executed it was obvious that the war will expand on USSR territory, so the best move was to give Germany what they wanted - temporary peace treaty, in exchange for almost free equipment and products of hard German engineering, with final cause to prepare for the war. And after all, USSR was the only European country that continued to fight and burn out Nazism in the world (along with Israel for their national reasons), while all the western countries actually started to treat former Nazis as almost allies, completely forgetting about yesterday's war crimes they committed.

This puts, possibly, the People's Party, the Rhinos, the Communist Party, and who else in the clear? I would support the Guy Fawkes Party.

Thank you, Mark Felton I cannot thank you enough for this video. As a Canadian, I was shocked and appalled by what happened having seen it I don’t think there’s any excuse for any member of Parliament standing up as it was mentioned in the speakers introduction that this person fought against the Russians that making him a Nazi, particularly he’s from Ukraine, everyone should’ve known there was no excuse not one member apartment said anything they applauded twice on their feet shame on us shame on Canada that’s what it was and it’s certainly revisionist history to have him in there as a hero. Thank you for doing this video it was a good video explain things very well as you always do.
Ahhh...Not so fast on anybody who fought with the Germans automatically being a Nazi. This man's regiment was SS, so the identification is probably correct in this case. A very large proportion of those who were in the regular Wehrmacht, the Luftwaffe, etc., were NOT members of the Nazi party, though. Indeed some very senior officers were not...
@@stevetournay6103 as someone who studied World War II since I was a young lad, I can tell you that you fallen for a myth, the vast majority of people in Germany, and other places who fought for the Wock were Nazis, and I mean the vast majority. They weren’t all party members, but they were Nazi supporters in Ukraine. Also if you fought for the Germans you were a Nazi. Over 11,400 Nazis came to Canada from Ukraine through Britain.

There is a version that Hitler came to power with the help of Wall Street money. The "economic miracle", two Olympic Games, the Munich conspiracy... Then the "resistance" of Poland for two weeks. And now Hitler's troops are at the borders of the USSR. If we take into account all of the above, then what happened in the Canadian parliament does not seem too strange. ""The "owners of money" fought against the USSR, just as they are now against Russia. And the Nazis are their creation.
Thanks Mark, these were a very necessary series of videos to make. WW2 has faded from many people's memories and thoughts and with current events it can be very easy for many who are truly ignorant to get swept up in the emotionalism of events and start supporting things they could never have dreamed. I've seen many people get sucked into the history of 'Ukraine' when in reality Ukraine is really the lands around Lviv. Current Ukraine was a creation of the Soviet Union. Even the SS leadership didn't like this brigade because they rapidly became a law unto themselves as you've described.

Hello Dr. Felton, loved the little Wikipedia comment to these Canadian politicians. A Canadian here and I can’t believe how embarrassing our government is for allowing this. The sheer blindness by them is astounding
Well, you, Canadians, were allies to Stalin, who was no better than Hitler. In fact, he killed even more people, but since his victims were Eastern Europeans, nobody cares
While living in Toronto I personally knew a former veteran of 14th Waffen SS division. In 1933 he lost his younger brother and sister during Holodomor organized by communists. He had all the reasons to hate soviets and for him Germans were lesser evil than soviets.
@@epictetusepictetus5033 well said. too bad people in the West now, from the heights of their moral standpoint, do not even want to understand the motivation of those people, who was choked between two evils and had to choose the lesser one.

Thanks. There seem to be an increasing number of public statements from officials that are painting Russia as the enemy or Ukraine as on the side of the Allies. EU Commission Leader von der Leyen "implied" that Russia bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki by using word play, and Boris Johnson said Ukraine fought with Britain against Germany in an interview. So they aren't directly saying it but are implying that WWII was fought against Russia. The fact that the Soviet Union lost around 27 million people in that war must make it difficult to stomach. But as I'm American and was brought up during the cold war, I don't remember Russia even being mentioned because it was the Americans and British that won the war in Europe and it started on D Day. 😊
They constanly love to play facts, for an example in USA book of achievements, The first man in space from USSR was not mentioned deliberately at all ) That's so many lies and propaganda from West and USSR sometimes, that ordinary people usually don't know the truth and that is the goal. I met a lot of various nations in the UK and if it was a politically negative person, he usually on blamed USSR for an example, then I have studied what Poland did to RUssia and USSR and to other countries and I can't call Poles saints, due to Czech republic occupation or various decions to attack USSR or Russia as well. Same with HUngary, Hungarians don't talk about that their were in German army and in SS killing Soviet at war, but very unhappy about occupation. So basically, not only USSR was bad, but many others, but they love to hide the facts about it, same USSR did inside of the country - many facts were hidden. So when you hear something from GOV in your country, make a serious research about it. Now it is funny that in Japan, the don't teach children that USA used nuclear bombs on Japan...it is crazy world. What USA is teaching in schools, I can just guess, cause usually I believe, Americans not educated as Russian do for an example, you can simply avoid choosing History at school and here you go. Same in the UK I believe. So then, policitians easily control the crowds and push them to frontlines, like it was in 9/11 for an example.
@@discoboy8169 ironically, here, in russia there are not that much propagansa against west.

We will suffer WW3 because of this as well, the crusade against communism never ended and the justification against it has been the bane of humanity for a century now.
Who would have thought, that when Mr. Felton began telling us the 'old' true stories of WW2, that history repeats so fast in Ukraine and elsewhere, and the pieces of knowledge come together, letting us better understand the acual present developments. Thanks Mark for the clarification of the latest embarrassement in Canada. regards from Berlin

@@viktoriyaserebryakov2755 There are historical sources in the form of documents, archeology, eyewitness memories (although the latter is an indirect source). Knowing how to work with these sources is the task of historians and those who know how to think and analyze. General education in the so-called “developed countries” does not imply that the average person has the skills to search and analyze information. Western civilization is creating a society of consumers, not creators and analysts. As for these SS men from “Galicia”, these are the most ordinary Nazis - those who went with Hitler and a united Europe to destroy the peoples of the Soviet Union. And they were defeated at the Battle of Brody, since it is one thing to burn and kill unarmed civilians, and a completely different thing to confront a regular army. The same thing is happening now in Ukraine. It’s one thing to beat the militias in Donbass, but it’s a completely different thing to confront the Russian regular army, which in all respects is superior to the army of fascist Ukraine, which is supported by Europe and the United States. History is cyclical. It’s just that now Zelensky is in the role of Hitler, and Putin did not wait, like Stalin, on June 22, 1941, but struck earlier so that the war would not be on the territory of Russia, but on the territory of Ukraine. That's all.
What's the implication here? I think Ukrainian history is complicated and has many dark periods, but to generalize Ukrainian history with an example of SS collaborators is absurd when many, many, many more of our ancestors fought against the Germans..
@channelingdarkness7068 Were there any other SS units formed from other European nations? Like Scandinavians, French, Belgian etc ? (yes is the answer) ITALY, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria etc were part of the Axis, should that preclude their access to UN and Nato membership or assistance. Spain was a Fascist country who helped Germany and sent a volunteer division to the Eastern front. What they all shared in common was fear of the Russians. Nothing has changed. Well one thing has, some Americans seem to think Russia and Putin are now the good guys........
If you had lived as a neighbour to Ukraine, before ww2 then after ww2, you would very easily understand why the Poles have just as much disdain for ukrainians as they do for the russians. The only reason eastern europe is supporting ukraine in any measure is common russophobia but after the russians, by far the most despised country in eastern europe, is ukraine. For centuries.
In the US there was a similar 'loss of history and understanding' upon the death of Leni Riefenstahl. At the subsequent Academy Awards program (2004) she was among the honored passed of the prior year. The applause and then gasps were quite memorable. It was not Hollywood's best moment.

A Saskatchewan man has been killed fighting in eastern Ukraine, the second Canadian known to have died defending the country against a Russian invasion. Joseph Hildebrand, a 33-year-old Canadian Forces veteran, was killed in the front-line city of Bakhmut, in the Donetsk region, on Monday. His unit of foreign fighters had carried out a successful assault mission in the city, though several members sustained minor injuries during the operation, according to a source in the battalion. The unit came under Russian artillery fire while taking their wounded to a front-line medical clinic. Mr. Hildebrand and one other foreign fighter were killed. The Canadian’s body has now been brought to Kyiv. Mr. Hildebrand, a native of Herbert, Sask., who served two tours in Afghanistan, came to Ukraine in June. The source in the International Legion, who knew the Canadian personally, said that on Mr. Hildebrand’s application to join, he had answered the question of why he wanted to fight for Ukraine by saying he believed “the whole world needs to stand up against Putin and Russia’s aggression” and that “this is the best way I can support and uphold my morals and beliefs.” He also wrote on his application that he had experience in close-quarters combat and had “a high pain tolerance with a calm demeanour.” The Globe and Mail is not identifying the source because they are connected to Ukrainian military intelligence. Mark Hildebrand, the youngest of Joseph’s three brothers, told The Globe his sibling was “the bravest man I’ve ever known but he also had a heart of gold.” “He’s someone we all wanted to grow old with and trade all the nonsense and stories that come with life. But we are all so proud of him and what he has done,” said Mark. Joseph had no personal connection to Ukraine but felt his skills were useful to push back against Russian forces and fight for people who were being oppressed, said Mark. He described his brother as a natural leader and, as a soldier, “strong as an ox” and with a near-perfect shot. Outside of serving in the military, both at home and abroad, Joseph Hildebrand was a farmer in Saskatchewan. He leaves behind a partner whose daughter he adopted as his own. His family came together on Monday at their farm to grieve his loss. Marilyne Guèvremont, a spokesperson with the department of Global Affairs, would say only that the government is aware of the death of a Canadian citizen in Ukraine. “We are in contact with local authorities and with the family and are providing consular services.” Mr. Hildebrand, who held no formal rank in the Ukrainian military, was accepted into the battalion of the legion that reports to the country’s Defence Intelligence Service, better known as the GUR. (The other two battalions of the legion are attached to Ukraine’s regular army.) The GUR battalion is known for getting riskier assignments than those given to other foreign soldiers. Being sent to Bakhmut this week would definitely qualify as dangerous. Last week, the Ukrainian military described the city as the epicentre of the fighting in the eastern Donbas region. A press officer for the GUR battalion of the legion said that Monday was “one of the hardest days since Day One.” She said she had known Mr. Hildebrand personally and had played a role in recruiting him to the battalion. “He was a very, very good person and it was good being around him. He was big and soft and felt very safe. He had a great character,” the press officer said. “I know that he had a couple of friends here in Ukraine and that his comrades, soldiers, all of them are saying very good things about Joseph.” The Globe is not identifying her because she is connected to Ukrainian military intelligence. Sergio Aburto, who served alongside Mr. Hildebrand in Afghanistan, said “Hildy” was a true warrior and someone who could be relied on in dangerous situations. They were part of a small group who were overseas together between 2009 and 2010 as part of an Operational Mentoring and Liasion Team. Mr. Aburto said Canadian Forces veterans who served with Mr. Hildebrand have come together in hopes of ensuring he receives a proper military funeral and that his family is supported in the aftermath of his death. He said men like Mr. Hildebrand, who want to fight for humanity, go without supports from their home country if or when they return. “I just hope he went out the way he wanted to go and, to me, if he was going to pass in this lifetime it would have been in combat,” he said. “But it’s sad because now, is his family going to get taken care of? God, no, because you’re going over there almost like mercenaries but with good intention.” The Ukraine-Canadian Congress (UCC), an advocacy group for Canadians of Ukrainian origin, said Mr. Hildebrand will not be forgotten. “The hearts of the Ukrainian Canadian community are with the family and friends of Canadian Joseph Hildebrand, who volunteered to fight in defence of Ukraine against Russia’s war of aggression,” UCC CEO Ihor Michalchyshyn said. “We extend our deepest condolences to Mr. Hildebrand’s family and friends. Mr. Hildebrand will be remembered for his sacrifice and commitment to Ukraine’s freedom. May his memory be eternal.” A source familiar with the matter said the Ukrainian government is in touch with Mr. Hildebrand’s family. Mr. Hildebrand is not the first Canadian to perish in Ukraine. Émile-Antoine Roy-Sirois, a 31-year-old Quebecker, was killed in July along with three other foreign fighters when they were ambushed by a Russian tank in the Donetsk region.
Excellent, thank you Dr. Felton. I am Canadian, and Oakville is my home town. For those interested in more detail about the monument, I understand it is privately owned. The mayor is quoted in a recent interview saying if he had the legal means to have it removed he would have done so "years ago". So one may judge this as a gap in legislation or simply private (albeit insulting) expression. I do know it has been defaced previously. I loved 3:30 . There is a lot of finger pointing amongst the politicians, but all 338 MPs applauded. I hope they learn to scrutinise what they are listening to rather than behaving like trained seals. Incredible that not one first thought "Wait, weren't the Russians on our side in World War 2?".
Are you saying that if the KKK or other hate groups march into town and put up hate symbols on private property, the government can't do anything to remove it? I find it disturbing as the nazis killed more Canadians than any hate group ever has.
There is a basic flaw in the statement “they all applauded.” It keeps popping up on social media to spread the blame. The Speaker of the House invited Hunka. The Prime Minister’s Office endorsed the honour. The MPs who are not Liberal had no idea what was about to happen. They were not informed in advance. So, when told in the House in front of Zalenskyy that Hunka was a Ukrainian and Canadian war hero who deserved standing ovations that’s what he got. Few people noticed that the Speaker said he fought against the Soviets, and likely would not have known what that meant. It only became clear afterwards, as people who know military history pointed out that the unit Hunka served with was Waffen SS. We stopped teaching history in Canadian schools decades ago. This farce is the result.
To be… I never considered the Soviets in the same boat as the rest of the “Western” Allies of France, the UK and the US. There was bad blood between them since the start of the Soviet Union. The Soviets sold old art in secret to the US in order to get plans to build factories, again, in secret. The only thing they fought for is their own liberation, they didn’t do it to actually “Help” the western allies. But that’s my feeling, as someone who has a MA in Cultural History. The only thing in MPs/Politicians minds is mostly to do what is popular, to get re-elected or, what is “seemingly” popular and gets them votes. In this case, looking good in front of Zelensky and helping Ukraine. By clapping like sheep they show their support. It’s pretty sad that no-one is able to think for themselves anymore.
The memorials of Ukrainian SS-men on British soil insult the memory of thousands of Poles who fought and often fell during WW2 protecting the British people e.g. pilots during the Battle of Britain, while Ukrainian SS-men massacred their relatives or compatriots in occupied Poland, then founding a shelter in the UK.
Good point Sir. Look at all the 'issues' that Jesting Truedunce has now let out of the bag. There will be plenty of French people with similarly justifiable views in Quebec. Haha, it has all gone rather sour on The Notsee apologists.
Ukrainian Nazi collaborators of the Galicia Division were initially prohibited from entering Canada due to their membership in the SS. But in 1950, Britain made an appeal to the Commonwealth for volunteers to accept a total of 9,000 division members who were at that time residing in the UK .
Janusz, I guess you should educate yourself more on the topic and then comment: in 1985 Deschênes Commission examined the issue and scrutinized the former members of the Galicia Division eventually founding no grounds to claim that the former combatants of that unit who migrated to Canada are responsible for war crimes.
I have Finnish ancestry on my mothers side. When my family went to Finland when I was a teenager , I saw SS soldiers with Finnish names in a cemetery!! I was surprised to learn that Finland was a German ally in the fight against Russia, I knew of the winter war but didn’t know about Finnish soldiers in the German army even the SS. I was shocked👍
We have the benefit of decades of study of WWII. People and governments of that time had to choose a side quickly (especially with a very real soviet threat), and they certainly didn't know how evil the 3rd Reich was until too late.
I agree with your comment up to the point of the “too late” part. I’m addition to coming from modern moralsm, it doesn’t apply. 20 Years of horrific atrocities in the Soviet Union made the situation nothing to even to ponder. 10s of miIIions starved, shot, ensIaved to death across Eurasia.
Actually you need to do research into the Winter War--Stalin INVADED Finland and the country was forced to surrender some land, but the great Finnish Leader Mannerheim did what was needed to keep the integrity of his country intact which meant giving just a little to Hitler in order to hold back the Soviets, history is nuanced not pure black and white in the particulars.
The Finns weren't actual Nazi's. They only sided with Germany, because Hitler was killing Russians, and Russia is an ancient enemy of the Finnish people, going back to long before Finland, as we know it today, was an independent nation. Old grudges die hard.
Your videos are always fascinating, there always something new to learn, very well researched, put together and presented. Thanks for the incredible content Mr. Felton. Ps: I must say the sarcastic commentary caught me off guard , but it was hilarious haha.
Deeply embarrassed and ashamed as a Canadian to witness the sheer idiocy displayed by our government. We need change in this country and we need it soon.
Are you also embarassed for the west allowing soviets to keep eastern europe occupied for 50 years (remember all those countries there had their own governance until axis and soviets split them) or you only focus on the Germans while probably having never been taught the soviet attrocities in the western education system
Nothing against Canada but it was disgusting and maddening to see that happen. How could such educated people not be aware Russia was a member of the allies.
@@mojo199 The decades of Russia-phobic propaganda since 1945 may have something to do with it.

If our governing Canadian MPs took more time to READ history than trying to rewrite it, they may have avoided this embarrassment.
Nicely put! We can add British MPs to this too.
Why would one want to dishonor their countrymen who fought and died then rewrite or outright ignore history unless they held similar beliefs and sympathizing with them..? “Lest we forget” is all well and good but is hollow without tangible action backing it up.

They prefer simply ignore all memoirs of people who fought Nazism, and even memoirs of people from OUN themselves, where former members agree that OUN were simply Nazi outlet and not for "Ukrainian idea".
The Canadian government was fully aware who Jaroslav Hunka was. There are a lot of papers that you have to submit to the RCMP to attend Canadian Parliament. That's ridiculous to believe the government claims that they didn't know.

Dr. Felton trolling ignorant politicians is awesome.
The politicians were probably not as ignorant as you think
Pierre Trudeau (father of Justin) was more or less a fascist in his youth. Michael Chomiak (grandfather of deputy pm Chrystia Freeland) a leading Ukrainian Nazi.
‘…..democracy was bad and that fascism -- as represented by Mussolini and Pétain -- was good. Thus, even as a young man of twenty-three, Trudeau was ignoring the war in Europe and plotting a revolution to take Quebec out of Canada. The picture that emerges is of a Quebec elite that was raised to be pro-fascist, and where Nazi atrocities were dismissed as English (Canadian) propaganda."
See Pierre Trudeau's Fascist Education | The Tyee
ignorance in a politician is a serious fault, but I consider it much more serious when they fully conscientiously support and help with our money a government whose national hero is Stepan Bandera , Thx Mr Felton
@lupodimontenero661 that's either ignorance on your part or you are being disingenuous. Bandera is indeed hailed as a hero by some in Ukraine, however others see him as a treacherous Fascist. This us why he was only officially recognised as a "Hero of Ukraine" for less than a year before internal pressure forced the then government to rescind the tittle in 2011.
@@calummackay8330 wow! How about 50+ streets named after Bandera in modern day Ukraine? It’s 2023 last time I’ve checked and he is still celebrated as a hero, title or not. BTW the title was rescinded by the next president, which speaks a volume, on the grounds that Bandera was never a Ukrainian citizen. That’s the “disingenuous” in nutshell for you.
@edilemma8052 as I stated he is indeed hailed as a hero by some in Ukraine. Yup, they named streets after him because of this.
The title was rescinded due to public backlash. It was not removed specifically because he was not a citizen or it would never have been awarded in the first place. Sadly, this excuse had to be made because like many other nations in the former USSR (Poland and Latvia to name two) there are many fascists in Ukraine. There are also many in Russia.

A mere idea of WW2 would let you know that "A ukrainian who fought the russians in ww2" was almost certainly an SS. And even if he was a partisan they too allied with the Germans by 1944. Therefore no exceptions are known.
Whats wrong with fighting with russians? SS was only option. Enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Indeed. However it is also important to remember the USSR and Stalin did horrible stuff to Ukraine.
Stalin caused millions to starve to death in the Ukraine before WW2. So, yeah, of course, the Ukrainians were willing to back the Nazis if it meant freedom or at least getting rid of Stalin.
Does that mean the Ukrainians soldiers who fought against the USSR with the Nazis should be cheered? No. But it is important to understand how their actions were justified in their minds.

True, but the genesis of the Red Army and the Soviets as a whole was Russia. Without Russia neither would have existed. And this is an important point to know because without Russia, the millions killed by the Soviets probably would not have ever happened.
Annoying to see modern Russians claim all the credit for the Soviet victory when most of the war on the eastern front was fought outside of the Russian Soviet Republic.
Yes, a lot of nations ockupied by the Mongols from Moscow, calling that creation Soviet. Ukrainians (5 000 K I think) fighting for the creep Stalin, they were a disgrace to Ukraine.

And UK/US were soviet allies. But only because they followed principle “help the weakest, so the battle will be prolonged and both adversaries would end up weaken so western power can prevail”.

Эмигрировать на Запад? Вы издеваетесь над историей, Елена!

Эти черти удрали в Канаду через английскую зону оккупации еще в 45 году. Про амнистию этой мрази Никиты Хрущева, тоже ничего не читали? Издание РБК называет цифру в 55 тысяч освобожденных в результате хрущевской амнистии 1955 года для бандеровцев, на самом деле цифры гораздо больше - более 200 000 бандеровцев, власовцев, лесных братьев, полицаев и прочих предателей. Освобожденным и реабилитированным бывших пособникам гитлеровцев, в отличие от других категорий освобожденных из лагерей ГУЛАГа, компенсировалась стоимость экспроприированного при аресте имущества, а после амнистии как минимум, 1/3 бывших украинских коллаборационистов и членов их семей получили руководящие посты в органах власти западных, центральных и юго-западных районов Украины, начиная от районных комитетов партии и заканчивая республиканскими министерствами и ведомствами.

The report singled out the “14th sub-unit” of the Galizien, which may be why Poland’s education Minister just said he’s “taken steps toward the possible extradition of this man.”

@@JD-rt5sdIt was 4th battalion of 14th SS which was transferred to SS Police command. The troops were all 14th SS troops.
And how Poland exterminated Ukrainian people, burned schools and did not allowed Ukrainian language on their own soil when Ukraine was under Polish occupation.
@@nazarettos6987 In the Polish-Ukrainian war of 1919, there was no evidence of government-controlled mass persecutions of civilians by either Poland or Ukraine. In WW2, Polish Home Army killed about 1,000-2,000 Ukrainians, mostly as retaliation for the UPA/ONU/Ukrainian SS systematic mass murder of 50,000+ Polish civilians. Closing down schools and not allowing a language is NOT a justified excuse for the mass murder of 50,000 civilians, or even any unarmed civilian at all. Russia also used the excuse of not allowing Russian language at school to invade Ukraine, do you think that is justified?

And secondly, I want to say how all the events listed in this video are seen here in Russia to me as an ordinary Russian! Surely someone will not like my words, but I will say it anyway. Hypocrisy is the first name of Western politics and politicians!!! My great-grandfather died during the Second World War, fighting fascism and those who helped the fascists (including Ukrainian nationalists from the SS Galicia) - and they all did terrible things and were military prisoners! At the same time, as soon as the war ended, the Western countries - allies of the USSR in the anti-Hitler coalition calmly provided shelter to yesterday's war criminals, and then allowed them to build their memorials on their territory and now invite them to parliament and there gives one of these monsters an ovation! From here in Russia, all this seems extremely monstrous and hypocritical! And now I understand why fascism/Nazism is a product of Western culture, because for Western politicians there is nothing wrong with this monstrous phenomenon when they open their doors to yesterday's war criminals!
Was your Russian great-grandfather refueling Nazi U-boats during the Battle of Britain, or just feeding Nazis with millions of tons of vital supplies during the Soviet-Nazi alliance (1939-1941)?

@@vladkornienko7889Soviet Union was the *last* country in europe that got a non-aggression pact with Germany. All western european countries signed these treatments before USSR did.
Plus, the real reason, above all else, was to force Germany to engage in unequal trade and exchange highly-complicated military-grade production equipment for raw, unprocessed materials, which was very beneficial for USSR. Stalin signed that treatment with Hitler not to avoid the war, but to force Germany to literally prepare USSR to war with it's own hands and money. After 1939 and after first slavic people started to be executed it was obvious that the war will expand on USSR territory, so the best move was to give Germany what they wanted - temporary peace treaty, in exchange for almost free equipment and products of hard German engineering, with final cause to prepare for the war.
And after all, USSR was the only European country that continued to fight and burn out Nazism in the world (along with Israel for their national reasons), while all the western countries actually started to treat former Nazis as almost allies, completely forgetting about yesterday's war crimes they committed.
So even if you don't believe in USSR abusing German peace treaty rush for it's own military enlargement, you at least shouldn't forget that USSR is the *last* country to blame in cooperation with germans, among any other European/American country.

Thanks. There seem to be an increasing number of public statements from officials that are painting Russia as the enemy or Ukraine as on the side of the Allies. EU Commission Leader von der Leyen "implied" that Russia bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki by using word play, and Boris Johnson said Ukraine fought with Britain against Germany in an interview. So they aren't directly saying it but are implying that WWII was fought against Russia. The fact that the Soviet Union lost around 27 million people in that war must make it difficult to stomach. But as I'm American and was brought up during the cold war, I don't remember Russia even being mentioned because it was the Americans and British that won the war in Europe and it started on D Day. 😊
They constanly love to play facts, for an example in USA book of achievements, The first man in space from USSR was not mentioned deliberately at all )
That's so many lies and propaganda from West and USSR sometimes, that ordinary people usually don't know the truth and that is the goal. I met a lot of various nations in the UK and if it was a politically negative person, he usually on blamed USSR for an example, then I have studied what Poland did to RUssia and USSR and to other countries and I can't call Poles saints, due to Czech republic occupation or various decions to attack USSR or Russia as well.
Same with HUngary, Hungarians don't talk about that their were in German army and in SS killing Soviet at war, but very unhappy about occupation. So basically, not only USSR was bad, but many others, but they love to hide the facts about it, same USSR did inside of the country - many facts were hidden. So when you hear something from GOV in your country, make a serious research about it.
Now it is funny that in Japan, the don't teach children that USA used nuclear bombs on Japan...it is crazy world.
What USA is teaching in schools, I can just guess, cause usually I believe, Americans not educated as Russian do for an example, you can simply avoid choosing History at school and here you go. Same in the UK I believe.

@@viktoriyaserebryakov2755 There are historical sources in the form of documents, archeology, eyewitness memories (although the latter is an indirect source). Knowing how to work with these sources is the task of historians and those who know how to think and analyze. General education in the so-called “developed countries” does not imply that the average person has the skills to search and analyze information. Western civilization is creating a society of consumers, not creators and analysts. As for these SS men from “Galicia”, these are the most ordinary Nazis - those who went with Hitler and a united Europe to destroy the peoples of the Soviet Union. And they were defeated at the Battle of Brody, since it is one thing to burn and kill unarmed civilians, and a completely different thing to confront a regular army. The same thing is happening now in Ukraine. It’s one thing to beat the militias in Donbass, but it’s a completely different thing to confront the Russian regular army, which in all respects is superior to the army of fascist Ukraine, which is supported by Europe and the United States. History is cyclical. It’s just that now Zelensky is in the role of Hitler, and Putin did not wait, like Stalin, on June 22, 1941, but struck earlier so that the war would not be on the territory of Russia, but on the territory of Ukraine. That's all.

A Saskatchewan man has been killed fighting in eastern Ukraine, the second Canadian known to have died defending the country against a Russian invasion.
Joseph Hildebrand, a 33-year-old Canadian Forces veteran, was killed in the front-line city of Bakhmut, in the Donetsk region, on Monday. His unit of foreign fighters had carried out a successful assault mission in the city, though several members sustained minor injuries during the operation, according to a source in the battalion.
The unit came under Russian artillery fire while taking their wounded to a front-line medical clinic. Mr. Hildebrand and one other foreign fighter were killed. The Canadian’s body has now been brought to Kyiv.
Mr. Hildebrand, a native of Herbert, Sask., who served two tours in Afghanistan, came to Ukraine in June.
The source in the International Legion, who knew the Canadian personally, said that on Mr. Hildebrand’s application to join, he had answered the question of why he wanted to fight for Ukraine by saying he believed “the whole world needs to stand up against Putin and Russia’s aggression” and that “this is the best way I can support and uphold my morals and beliefs.”
He also wrote on his application that he had experience in close-quarters combat and had “a high pain tolerance with a calm demeanour.”
The Globe and Mail is not identifying the source because they are connected to Ukrainian military intelligence.
Mark Hildebrand, the youngest of Joseph’s three brothers, told The Globe his sibling was “the bravest man I’ve ever known but he also had a heart of gold.”
“He’s someone we all wanted to grow old with and trade all the nonsense and stories that come with life. But we are all so proud of him and what he has done,” said Mark.
Joseph had no personal connection to Ukraine but felt his skills were useful to push back against Russian forces and fight for people who were being oppressed, said Mark. He described his brother as a natural leader and, as a soldier, “strong as an ox” and with a near-perfect shot.
Outside of serving in the military, both at home and abroad, Joseph Hildebrand was a farmer in Saskatchewan. He leaves behind a partner whose daughter he adopted as his own. His family came together on Monday at their farm to grieve his loss.
Marilyne Guèvremont, a spokesperson with the department of Global Affairs, would say only that the government is aware of the death of a Canadian citizen in Ukraine. “We are in contact with local authorities and with the family and are providing consular services.”
Mr. Hildebrand, who held no formal rank in the Ukrainian military, was accepted into the battalion of the legion that reports to the country’s Defence Intelligence Service, better known as the GUR. (The other two battalions of the legion are attached to Ukraine’s regular army.)
The GUR battalion is known for getting riskier assignments than those given to other foreign soldiers. Being sent to Bakhmut this week would definitely qualify as dangerous. Last week, the Ukrainian military described the city as the epicentre of the fighting in the eastern Donbas region.
A press officer for the GUR battalion of the legion said that Monday was “one of the hardest days since Day One.” She said she had known Mr. Hildebrand personally and had played a role in recruiting him to the battalion.
“He was a very, very good person and it was good being around him. He was big and soft and felt very safe. He had a great character,” the press officer said. “I know that he had a couple of friends here in Ukraine and that his comrades, soldiers, all of them are saying very good things about Joseph.”
The Globe is not identifying her because she is connected to Ukrainian military intelligence.
Sergio Aburto, who served alongside Mr. Hildebrand in Afghanistan, said “Hildy” was a true warrior and someone who could be relied on in dangerous situations. They were part of a small group who were overseas together between 2009 and 2010 as part of an Operational Mentoring and Liasion Team.
Mr. Aburto said Canadian Forces veterans who served with Mr. Hildebrand have come together in hopes of ensuring he receives a proper military funeral and that his family is supported in the aftermath of his death.
He said men like Mr. Hildebrand, who want to fight for humanity, go without supports from their home country if or when they return.
“I just hope he went out the way he wanted to go and, to me, if he was going to pass in this lifetime it would have been in combat,” he said. “But it’s sad because now, is his family going to get taken care of? God, no, because you’re going over there almost like mercenaries but with good intention.”
The Ukraine-Canadian Congress (UCC), an advocacy group for Canadians of Ukrainian origin, said Mr. Hildebrand will not be forgotten.
“The hearts of the Ukrainian Canadian community are with the family and friends of Canadian Joseph Hildebrand, who volunteered to fight in defence of Ukraine against Russia’s war of aggression,” UCC CEO Ihor Michalchyshyn said.
“We extend our deepest condolences to Mr. Hildebrand’s family and friends. Mr. Hildebrand will be remembered for his sacrifice and commitment to Ukraine’s freedom. May his memory be eternal.”
A source familiar with the matter said the Ukrainian government is in touch with Mr. Hildebrand’s family.
Mr. Hildebrand is not the first Canadian to perish in Ukraine.
Émile-Antoine Roy-Sirois, a 31-year-old Quebecker, was killed in July along with three other foreign fighters when they were ambushed by a Russian tank in the Donetsk region.

Thanks for your work!👍
As the British like to say, brilliant.
Really wonderful mixture of contempt, humour and sarcasm. Well Done Mark. And I am horrified to see what we have allowed in our own UK.
Rather sophomoric attempt at this very grey area of history
Yeah, Feltonov really showed his true colours in this one.
Wonderfully said!! We must never forget the past and the sacrifices that were made
Yes ! We should all be so proud of their sacrifices !

We must never forget that nazism did rize as a reaction of russian communizm
I think it is necessary to place an explanatory plaque with each SS memorial, which should provide historical facts about these units
Excellent, thank you Dr. Felton. I am Canadian, and Oakville is my home town. For those interested in more detail about the monument, I understand it is privately owned. The mayor is quoted in a recent interview saying if he had the legal means to have it removed he would have done so "years ago". So one may judge this as a gap in legislation or simply private (albeit insulting) expression. I do know it has been defaced previously.
I loved 3:30 . There is a lot of finger pointing amongst the politicians, but all 338 MPs applauded. I hope they learn to scrutinise what they are listening to rather than behaving like trained seals. Incredible that not one first thought "Wait, weren't the Russians on our side in World War 2?".
Are you saying that if the KKK or other hate groups march into town and put up hate symbols on private property, the government can't do anything to remove it? I find it disturbing as the nazis killed more Canadians than any hate group ever has.
There is a basic flaw in the statement “they all applauded.” It keeps popping up on social media to spread the blame. The Speaker of the House invited Hunka. The Prime Minister’s Office endorsed the honour. The MPs who are not Liberal had no idea what was about to happen. They were not informed in advance. So, when told in the House in front of Zalenskyy that Hunka was a Ukrainian and Canadian war hero who deserved standing ovations that’s what he got. Few people noticed that the Speaker said he fought against the Soviets, and likely would not have known what that meant. It only became clear afterwards, as people who know military history pointed out that the unit Hunka served with was Waffen SS. We stopped teaching history in Canadian schools decades ago. This farce is the result.
There a Ukrainain hall in Hamilton Ont whose walls have Divisional insignias of Ukraineains SS units
To be… I never considered the Soviets in the same boat as the rest of the “Western” Allies of France, the UK and the US.
There was bad blood between them since the start of the Soviet Union.
The Soviets sold old art in secret to the US in order to get plans to build factories, again, in secret. The only thing they fought for is their own liberation, they didn’t do it to actually “Help” the western allies. But that’s my feeling, as someone who has a MA in Cultural History.
The only thing in MPs/Politicians minds is mostly to do what is popular, to get re-elected or, what is “seemingly” popular and gets them votes. In this case, looking good in front of Zelensky and helping Ukraine. By clapping like sheep they show their support. It’s pretty sad that no-one is able to think for themselves anymore.
Thanks for clarifying this - Canadians have suffered enough embarrassment without the revelation that there are public memorials to those animals too.
The memorials of Ukrainian SS-men on British soil insult the memory of thousands of Poles who fought and often fell during WW2 protecting the British people e.g. pilots during the Battle of Britain, while Ukrainian SS-men massacred their relatives or compatriots in occupied Poland, then founding a shelter in the UK.
Good point Sir. Look at all the 'issues' that Jesting Truedunce has now let out of the bag. There will be plenty of French people with similarly justifiable views in Quebec. Haha, it has all gone rather sour on The Notsee apologists.
They were occupied by Poland too. Ukrainians hated the polish just as much as the russians
I appreciate people like you mate, who dont try to rewrite history, but teach it. Keep up the good work, all the best.
Спасибо за правду.

Thank you, Mark, for refreshing people's failing memory with your extremely well documented videos. And I love your sense of humour.
Ukrainian Nazi collaborators of the Galicia Division were initially prohibited from entering Canada due to their membership in the SS. But in 1950, Britain made an appeal to the Commonwealth for volunteers to accept a total of 9,000 division members who were at that time residing in the UK .
Janusz, I guess you should educate yourself more on the topic and then comment: in 1985 Deschênes Commission examined the issue and scrutinized the former members of the Galicia Division eventually founding no grounds to claim that the former combatants of that unit who migrated to Canada are responsible for war crimes.
Всего 9 тысяч???? А шуму как будто это они устроили вторую мировую войну и убили всех.
@@WolverineXOXOwhat are you talking about?
At 3:50 in your video the symbols seen on the memorial plaque have also been seen on Ukrainian fighters uniforms while fighting the Russian troops.

I have Finnish ancestry on my mothers side. When my family went to Finland when I was a teenager , I saw SS soldiers with Finnish names in a cemetery!! I was surprised to learn that Finland was a German ally in the fight against Russia, I knew of the winter war but didn’t know about Finnish soldiers in the German army even the SS. I was shocked👍
We have the benefit of decades of study of WWII. People and governments of that time had to choose a side quickly (especially with a very real soviet threat), and they certainly didn't know how evil the 3rd Reich was until too late.
I agree with your comment up to the point of the “too late” part. I’m addition to coming from modern moralsm, it doesn’t apply. 20 Years of horrific atrocities in the Soviet Union made the situation nothing to even to ponder. 10s of miIIions starved, shot, ensIaved to death across Eurasia.
Actually you need to do research into the Winter War--Stalin INVADED Finland and the country was forced to surrender some land, but the great Finnish Leader Mannerheim did what was needed to keep the integrity of his country intact which meant giving just a little to Hitler in order to hold back the Soviets, history is nuanced not pure black and white in the particulars.
The Finns weren't actual Nazi's. They only sided with Germany, because Hitler was killing Russians, and Russia is an ancient enemy of the Finnish people, going back to long before Finland, as we know it today, was an independent nation. Old grudges die hard.
@@gamewizard1760 Exactly the same story in Ukraine actually.

Are you also embarassed for the west allowing soviets to keep eastern europe occupied for 50 years (remember all those countries there had their own governance until axis and soviets split them) or you only focus on the Germans while probably having never been taught the soviet attrocities in the western education system
I am a Canadian and I am disgusted with our government.
Nothing against Canada but it was disgusting and maddening to see that happen. How could such educated people not be aware Russia was a member of the allies.
@@mojo199 The decades of Russia-phobic propaganda since 1945 may have something to do with it. The off-the-scale hysterical misinformation in our media since the proxy war began last spring has made people less able to even debate matters such as the extent of support for neo-Nazi movements by the west's Kiev ally in a rational manner.
@dmax631 educated might be stretch, they did elect Trudeau after all
Just imagine if this was the other way around. The left would never stop talking about it.
@@mojo199Russia also sided with the Nazis in invading Poland and much of Eastern Europe. But yeah, they're pure as the driven snow and would never invade a sovereign country and steal their land to reverse historical injustices. It's almost like we've seen that story before...

Also the canadian goverment really aren't the brightest when it comes to history and it's importance.

За какую правду ? По данным К. Александрова, военную службу на стороне Германии в 1941-1945 годах несли примерно 1,24 млн граждан СССР: 400 тыс. русских (в том числе 80 тыс. в казачьих формированиях)
