Goons LOVE communism, comrade!

It's all the most traditional view it's all stuff that was discredited 30 years ago like holy poo poo it's loving breathtaking how little you guys know about WW2 like I literally took a breath and said holy poo poo

How are you legally supposed to raise Wehrmacht units from occupied territory that is not officially incorporated into the boundaries of the Reich? You can't. So you're going to have to use the informal framework of the SS, which has its own ridiculous parallel army structure that operates alongside of the Wehrmact, because everything is stupid in Nazi Germany. So they started out in 1939 with this pure German SS mostly political organization and
by '44 there are all these "Waffen SS" units that are basically a United Nations of Central Europe that were raised from different countries that were under Nazi control.

You've gotta remember that the Nazis were anti-communists just as much as they were anti-semites. There were all kinds of young European males that were down to fight a crusade against communism because the big bad USSR was coming for their homes. These were the guys who signed up for those "SS" units.
