Original Note:
The article is historically inaccurate. This 1943 film shows Waffen SS "Galicia" Division volunteers parading in Lviv before SS brigade governor Dr. Otto von Wächter. The Division commander was Oberfuhrer Fritz Freitag, a fanatical Nazi; it commited major war crimes. https://collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/irn1002627 http://espritdecorps.ca/history-feature/whitewashing-the-ss-the-attempt-to-re-write-the-history-of-hitlers-collaborators
