Charming!

So

It should be a giant white on black wargame counter. With an outrageously high attack value.

From that live blog, someone is saying he's fled to Kharkov. 

Also says an opposition self-defense squad traded fire with a busload of Berkut guys after the bus refused to stop at a checkpoint.  I was hoping things would settle down a bit but the opposition still seems a bit pissed off.  Hope they don't try to overplay whatever hand they have.

Not to start an unnecessary shitstorm, but wasn't the Galician division a little different from other Waffen SS units?  I thought they were a bit less politicized maybe not quite as brutal as others.  Also IIRC they were more or less conscripts rather than volunteers.

What exactly has the opposition so intensely pissed off?  I mean this is 1789 France sort of visceral rage here.  It usually takes a lot to get the common people out committing acts of political violence instead of watching reality shows and stuff.

First opposition leader to calm the mob wins.

It does seem like a lot of them are skinhead hooligan types.

IIRC, it was one of those late-ish in the war SS divisions that was only good for shooting partisans.

I need to get out my books on the SS divisions to see exactly.

You don't think it's a natural reaction to hundreds of protesters being gunned down?

Research for your re-enactment group?

Yes, owning books on the SS means I'm clearly pro- SS.

Hey it is history, not hate.

[Ed Anger]

I do love their black uniforms.

That's not why we think you're pro-SS

It's the master white race stuff, isn't it?
