    I sure fucking wonder why Ukrainians are using German for the name of their group. Could it have any connection to the historical proto-fascist German paramilitary, given that Ukraine has employed neo-nazi paramilitaries and integrated them into the state before? No, must be a coincidence blob-no-thoughts

      Kinda like how some rascal painted a bunch of iron crosses on the leopards that got sent over but you see the corner pieces are light Grey not regular Grey so the whole division must just be fans of a single obscure regiment from world War 1 that used that symbol for three weeks before it became the nazi parties official insignia.
