17. SS, two different things

The german SS were hardcore Nazis...no doubt about that.

Foreign troops (like Ukranians) were in the SS but it they were not the 'shock and awe' troops like the german equivalent was...they were just foreign troops in the german army.

He very likely never cared for the party and the party wouldnt have him as a member anyway (slav). He was jsut a guy who got ended with the germans (and this was foreign SS) and ended up in a shitty situation.
