Neo-Nazis Fighting For Ukraine are Real And Other Updates

by 67 Comments

Many in the United States have tried to downplay or ignore the fact that the Ukrainian militias that venerate Stepan Bandera sport Nazi symbolism. The following images from a recently captured Ukrainian fighter shows the truth:

German SS Soldier Tattoo
Mauthausen tattoo

The last image is particularly disturbing. This man thought it a good idea to put Mauthausen on his body. What is Mauthausen? It was one of the most notorious concentration camps the Nazis located in Austria. It started “processing” prisoners in 1938 and was liberated by the U.S. Army on May 5, 1945. An estimated 90,000 Jews, gypsies and homosexuals died in this camp.

This guy is not an outlier. There are hundreds of similar images. Here is a guy who surrendered at the Avostal steel plant in Mariupol:

Iron Cross

And here is a video of two young men sporting German SS uniforms. Notice the Deathhead emblem on the cap of the guy closest to the camera.

The men embracing these tattoos and badges are not simply making a fashion statement. It is an affirmation of belief and should be taken seriously instead of being dismissed as meaningless.

Russia is continuing to hit key railroad junctions in western Ukraine. During the last 24 hours three more new traction substations on Ukrainian railways were hit by missile strikes in the Fastov, Krasnoselka and Polonnoe. The target is the transformers that are critical to power the electric trains. Replacing these transformers is not an easy task. These strikes severely handcuff the ability of Ukraine to move weapons and supplies to surrounded and embattled troops in the Donbas.

The Ukrainian army in Donbas is not giving up yet. Here is a snippet from the Southfront daily assessment:

According to the most recent briefing by the Russian Ministry of Defense, since the beginning of the special military operation in Ukraine, 142 warplanes, 111 helicopters, 634 drones, 278 air-defense systems, 2638 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 304 multiple rocket launchers, 1,175 field artillery and mortars, as well as 2,467 units of special military vehicles of Kiev forces have been destroyed.

The battle in the Donbass region will likely heat up in the upcoming few days. Kiev’s forces have been showing fierce resistance. However, the Russian military and the armed forces of the DPR and LPR appear to be going to speed up their ground operations in the region.

A report from one of the Ukrainian units in the region supports the Russian claim that they are applying unrelenting pressure on the Ukie soldiers:

“We, the servicemen of the 3rd mechanized company of the 1st mechanized battalion of the 93rd OMBR, refuse to serve further for the following reasons:

No evacuation of the wounded
Lack of adequate command
Lack of heavy equipment
Lack of specialists in anti-tank weapons
Large losses of personnel 3 mech company 1 mech battalion (60%)
Loss of combat effectiveness of the company
Lack of rotation for staffing a company

We refuse to carry out orders that are aimed at the destruction of personnel.”

Russia eschews Stalin’s tactics in WW II of launching human wave assaults and incurring massive casualties. Instead the Russian Army is using a combination of air strikes and unrelenting artillery to soften up Ukrainian positions. This tactic appears to be paying dividends.

    The Ukrainian report is finally showing some level of sensibility. Hopelessly gighting to death against a superior force is madness.

    Especially when what passes for their “leadership” has their escape plan already in place. Zelensky and Co. reportedly have their British citizenship already arranged.

    What the US and Nato are doing is criminal.

    Larry on your last post, seeing those dead Ukrainian soldiers touched my heart. I prayed for all of them. Such wasteful deaths. Young men, never again to see their families, children, dying painfully on the battlefield for no purpose other to enrich a few already rich oligarchs and weapons suppliers, and satisfying the egotistical blood lost of the insane neocons.

    It’s enough to make a man… well never mind. You already know.

    Here is a pdf from an article by Jacques Baud with neo-Nazi insignia.

    https://i0.wp.com/scheerpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Ukraine-Neo-Nazis.jpg?resize=1024%2C478&ssl=1

    I been watching videos from news sources to see if I could find any. Here is one from Sky news.

    At 3:18 of this video you will see an insignia on the upper left arm of the soldier.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5Bibr9nR7Q

    You will note this is the same insignia, as the one which is very small in the blue field at the bottom of the far right insignia A30B in Baud’s pdf.

    Larry , how much of patriots in america really believe this insane pro ukraine propaganda on MSM ? how many of real patriots in US believe this is just neocon reckless gamble toward baiting russia into WW3 ?

    do you heard about the recent “accidents” on many food processing plants across CONUS ? accidental incompetence by workers or sabotage ?

      I have been in the controls engineering business – primarily food plants – for nearly 40 years. I can tell you that while incidents like do occur, they are exceedingly rare, severe ones even more rare.
      This frequency of “accidents ” is unprecedented and the odds of them being garden variety accidents are 1/500,000

            thanks , it feels like someone or ssome group in CONUS want to push misery into the already suffering americans due to high inflation.. if it is homegrown then it even worse , someone is trying to start civil war in US at the expense of the people..

            that FBI counter intelligence team not working overtime on this is a disgrace , they been so coopted by the ‘it is russia’ politcal propaganda nonsense..

      I am a Vietnam veteran, and I have 6 close family members who are vets, including a nephew who was in both Gulf wars as a Marine Gunnery Sergeant. Every one knows the truth and my nephew follows Larry’s blog religiously. We discuss it almost daily. So yes many if not most have their eyes open.

        Thank you for your service. We Americans trusted our government to do the right thing. Men like you trusted them only to discover they were using you as cannon fodder for their own selfish ends. It sickens me. My ancestors fought to free this nation from British tyranny. I’ll be damned if I accept a new tyranny of corrupt politicians peddling bullshit to serve corporate interests. Feeding the defense industry so that we can send young men to new battles just to make corporate profits. I’m fed up.

          Hear hear Larry!

          My grandfather fought with the British Army in WW2, got his ear blown out. Bought two cannon shells home, still on the mantlepiece at my parents house, and never said a word about the War.

          He’s dead now. Think of what his generation would feel if he knew all that suffering and now the US, UK, France and Canada are funding the very Nazis so many died fighting, that he fought and suffered injury for his whole life.

          Whoever made the decision to fund Nazis needs to be held up and prosecuted or their sacrifice means NOTHING.

        “Patrushev could not but stress how War Inc. is literally making a killing in Ukraine: “The American and European military-industrial complex is jubilant, because thanks to the crisis in Ukraine, it has no respite from order. It is not surprising that, unlike Russia, which is interested in the speedy completion of a special military operation and minimizing losses on all sides, the West is determined to delay it at least to the last Ukrainian.”

        And that mirrors the psyche of American elites: “You are talking about a country whose elite is not able to appreciate other people’s lives. Americans are used to walking on scorched earth. Since World War II, entire cities have been razed to the ground by bombing, including nuclear bombing. They flooded the Vietnamese jungle with poison, bombed the Serbs with radioactive munitions, burned Iraqis alive with white phosphorus, helped terrorists poison Syrians with chlorine (…) As history shows, NATO has also never been a defensive alliance, only an offensive one.”

        Previously, in an interview with the delightfully named The Great Game show on Russian TV, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had once again detailed how the Americans “no longer insist on the implementation of international law, but on respect for the ‘rules-based world order’. These ‘rules’ are not deciphered in any way. They say that now there are few rules. For us, they don’t exist at all. There is international law. We respect it, as does the UN Charter. The key provision, the main principle is the sovereign equality of states. The U.S. flagrantly violates its obligations under the UN Charter when it promotes its ‘rules’”.

        Lavrov had to stress, once again, that the current incandescent situation may be compared to the Cuban Missile Crisis: “In those years, there was a channel of communication that both leaders trusted. Now there is no such channel. No one is trying to create it.”

        The Empire of Lies, in its current state, does not do diplomacy.”

        First I came here for information. It is getting better because now there is constructive discussion too. Thank you Larry. Thank you contributors.

    I posted the following elsewhere but it certainly seems appropriate to repost it here.

    How significant are neo-Nazis in Ukraine?
    I certainly don’t know the answer to that,
    but I would think the opinions of Ukraine’s Jews would be significant.
    For information on those opinions, see:

    “Putin wants to de-Nazify Ukraine —
    that’s ludicrous, say the country’s Jews”
    https://www.politico.eu/article/in-the-face-of-war-ukraine-jews-embrace-a-dual-identity/

    From the article:
    “If you still believe Vladimir Putin’s propaganda that
    he’s trying to de-Nazify Ukraine,
    you should talk to Ukrainian Jews.
    They don’t buy a word of it.
    …
    ‘Putin’s claims of de-Nazifying Ukraine is the most ludicrous and craziest thing —
    the ‘Nazification’ of Ukraine was created by Russian propaganda,’
    said Yaakov Bleich, a chief rabbi of Ukraine. ”

    Back to me:
    Where does the truth lie,
    between the competing claims?
    I don’t know.
    But it’s worth being aware of the evidence on each side,
    for whatever difference it makes.

    As to the key issues driving this war,
    I think John Mearsheimer states them well in the videos in this YouTube playlist:
    https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZlQy6FlDBO0aoDtDDh34weAdQUmxaDR0
    Please note especially the video which includes remarks by the CIA veteran Ray McGovern,
    especially the comments from the very experienced Jack Matlock.

    Larry, as someone who had followed you to a third site, I tend to agree with your analysis of this war and what led to this disaster. I’ve spent a good amount of time working in both countries in the late 90’s and had a chance to have conversations with common people some of which touched on the sentiments of these people toward each other. I attributed then the hate of the Ukrainians towards the Russians as just their history. The hate was exclusively in one direction. I thought then the Ukrainians are not over the past, it was only a few years since the fall of the Soviet Union.
    I do have some expiriance with fake tattoos and covering real ones. No I’m not into tattoos, I’m in the motion picture and TV business. For example, I see possible cover up of old tattoos with make up, it typically results in green skin. If these were real, the new tattoos would cover the old entirely. By the way, I don’t believe that this combatant would have had his old tattoos removed with Laser and it wouldn’t look like this. There is a tattoo on his back wich we’re no supposed to see. It is of a different style and somewhat crude. People usually are sold on one periocular style. His head is completely covered but there is an additional rag covering his eyes, why? I think they just do not want this person to be Identified. I’ve seen quiet a bit of captured Ukrainian combatants, their faces are always exposed. There is so much propoganda out there by both sides. This one is too, is a bit suspect.

    I hate to be the odd man out, but I think the whole neo-nazi stuff is overblown. Also, I think it is understandable. Some Ukrainian’s blame Russia for the Holodomor. This is the genesis of it and the fact that much of the NKVD leadership was Jewish also explains the antisemitism. They look back on their collaboration with the Germans as a part of a noble struggle. The irony is, they are now fighting for the neocons who’s leadership is mostly Jewish. If it wasn’t so sad, it would be funny.

    These people fail to realize that Russians also suffered tremendously under Stalin. It was the evil ideology of Communism and its henchmen that were to blame. Now they are serving as the evil henchmen men for the evil ideology of neoconservatism.

    OK, I need help interpreting this. The British media are actually trying to resurrect the failed “Ghost of Kyiv”* meme.

    “A fighter pilot known as the Ghost of Kyiv died in an air battle last month after allegedly shooting down more than 40 Russian aircraft, it can be revealed.

    Major Stepan Tarabalka, 29, a father of one, was killed when the MiG-29 he was flying was shot down on March 13 while fighting “overwhelming” enemy forces, according to local reports.

    Ukrainian sources today confirmed the identity of the fighter pilot and his death to The Times.”

    Read the whole thing:

    The Times isn’t some cheap rag – it’s probably the most prestigious newspaper in the UK. It’s now owned by Murdoch but still retains its prestigious image.

    WHAT IS GOING ON HERE??? Why is the most prestigious paper in the UK trying to revive a failed meme now?

      Murdoch also owns the Sun newspaper which spouts complete rubbish.

      The Times is not what it was, hasn’t been for years. Look at their reporting on Iraq war, on Trump Russia collusion…

      None of the British press are credible. The writers who were critical of Ukrainie in first weeks eg Peter Hitchen of the daily mail are oddly silent or silenced now.

      there is no ‘prestigious’ UK newspaper anymore , if you think they still exists then you really need to open your eyes and step out from your kool aid induced fictional bubble of reality and take a real dose of cognitive dissonance right now

      everything coming out from western MSM are total propaganda nonsense. There is no first class or low class media , all the same.

      everyone know this and for you to act surprised indicate you are still under delusion that some western prestigious msm still on the side of truth

      how could russia lost something they never fought for ? the notion of russia losing this and that are set by western commenters who making up goal post and timeline for russia and then point to russia as they dont reach the fictional goalpost/timeline

      any sane person would laugh when the western media called for russia defeat when they failed to take kiev in 3 days.. how stupid is this ? no army in the world can take a metropolis in 3 days. Ask the US marine who fought in fallujah 1 and 2 with superior numbers, armor and total air supremacy why it took them so long to take a small city with enemy 1/10 their number..

        Totally agree with this.

        I cringe whenever I hear that Russia “lost the information war”. In fact, Russia WON the information war in the place it mattered most : at home (see Putin and SMO approval ratings, and vapid Russian instagrammer discovering their patriotic streak).

        I very much doubt that Russia cares a lot about the opinion of the common western schmuck. Why waste resources trying to convince him when these are far better employed procuring more Smerch to make her point to the Ukrainians

          I disagree here. It is critical everyone who values truth cares that the “common schmuck” as you put it, has access to unbiased information and both sides of the argument. If you don’t get that you don’t get anything about this conflict.

          Today Peter Hitchens, former Moscow correspondents, said he got D NOTICE which prevents him writing what he wants on the Ukraine conflict. Apparently also known as a DSMA notice.

          I don’t know exactly what the limits are on what he can now write but if people aren’t worried about the gagging, threatening and censoring of journalists, see also Asante, then we have w huge problem.

          I have lived and worked in 5 countries on 4 continents. Ordinary people are much the same and they generally want to know the truth. The psych ops in this war is insane. Completely insane, it’s so good even rationale people are becoming irrational. IF truth seekers can’t counter this onslaught that is the end of freedom.

            Well, I did not say it wasn’t important for a westerner to get to the truth, it is (but honestly, if you dig around a bit, it’s not that difficult to find, as on this excellent blog)

            What I said was that it was not, in any way, Russia’s job to make it happen. Russia did not lose the information war because it’s a war she fought at home and easily won.
