Soldiers serve their country. These men served the Nazi party. Can we try to enforce that in across IMFDb?
But that's just people exacting political revenge. Men serving in the Waffen SS fought just like soldiers on the Eastern Front and during D-Day. You're not being 100% accurate. They WERE soldiers, albeit, soldiers who were given odious tasks. Entire Waffen SS divisions were lost fighting in Russia. What are they? Busboys?
