Shades of grey. Finland were technically "Nazis" during WW2 because they also were resisting the USSR. An enemy of my enemy, and all that.
Finland wasn't "nazi" just because they were allied with Germany. However, Finnish people who joined the SS definitely were Nazis.
The Nazi party, just like the Communist party don't give you many choices besides joining.
It was hard to get into the SS.
Far easier after 1940.
As far as I can tell that just mentions the existence of Slavic SS members after 1940, which was a big step as they were "subhumans". They were all volunteers and I imagine the rest of the rigorous selection process was still in place.
That changed at the end of the war in 1944/1945 when you could be conscripted into the SS, but that fact is completely irrelevant in this context because the 1st Galician was entirely made up of volunteers.
Fucking Nazi apologists, man.
