I went to a remembrance day ceremony in a church last year and then later found out one of the soldiers we honored was SS. The person that put his name in even made excuses like "everybody thought they were fighting the good fight" etc etc. It's a good thing it was a posthumous honor, because if he was there I would have been on the phone.

There are a lot of people who are still unsure about whether the Nazis were really evil, or just on the other side of a bad war, and trying to erase, or whitewash their relatives crimes. It isn't a partisan thing either, as the church group is very much not Liberal leaning.
