6

Veteran of the 14th division of the Waffen SS "Galicia" resident of Ukraine Vasily Nakonechnykh Nazi noted his rewarding with the knight's cross of the division. The video of the incident was posted on Facebook by the head of the Jewish Committee of Ukraine, Eduard Dolinsky.

The video shows how Nakonechny gives Hitler's greeting with his right hand in response to the award after he heard his name among others at a ceremony in Kalush, Ivano-Frankivsk region of Ukraine.



Nakonechny in May 2018 was awarded the status of Honorary Citizen of Kalosh. "Veteran" fought in Galicia during World War II from 1941 to 1944.


The 14th Grenadier SS division “Galicia” (or the first Ukrainian) during the war years consisted of volunteers - residents of Ukraine loyal to the Nazi regime. This military formation was part of the SS troops of Nazi Germany.

Since the second half of 1943, the "Galicians" participated in punitive operations in Poland and in the Galicia district. In the summer and autumn of 1944, Ukrainian punishers fought with partisans in Yugoslavia. At the end of the war, in April 1945, "Galicia" participated in the battles for Vienna. After the defeat of Germany, most of the soldiers of the division surrendered to allied forces in the West in order to avoid punishment for war crimes in the USSR.

      ... to avoid punishment for military crimes in the USSR.

      MILITARY crimes (and not "military" ones !!!), they have no statute of limitations and all sorts of "wiped out ATO", murderous "heroic" in the Donbass, do not forget about this!
      It is a pity that our Soviet authorities generously pardoned this unrepentant Hitlerite henchman from Galitsay (with such a "Russian surname" uncharacteristic for Zapukria ??!), At all in the USSR was not punished properly, for his war crimes... hey, he is quite smiling, as he is "zigging" to his banderlog!

      Here it is, the whole essence of today's Ukraine! Hitler’s shortcomings have bred ... It’s time to stop considering Ukraine a country of the anti-Hitler coalition ... The awarding of SS men does not fit this status.

      Well, why be surprised if even the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine L. M. Kravchuk, as a youth, was also, as it turned out, an inveterate banderlog ... It is time again to collect the 1st Ukrainian Front in order to finally restore historical justice. It is only a pity that neither P. S. Rybalko nor D. D. Lelyushenko is gone ...

      The country of the loser of Nazism and animal wildness is Ukraine. It was necessary to strangle this trash in the bud, so no, Khrushchev prevented. And now, to exterminate this rot and flush it into the toilet, it takes a long time to mess around. am

      awarding the knight's cross of the division.

      The system of awarding knightly crosses, it seems, is well known. Who, whom and for what merits has the right to award a knight's cross in a nonexistent division?
      As I understand it, this is not an order, but rather a "rolling" badge for the boys playing in the sandbox. The stupidity is limitless, a couple of years will pass and they will again be diving these crosses in all cracks. Defective.
