That his actions were heroic is undeniable. However, DeGrelle really exagerrated Hitler's socialist side, and was completely oblivious to Hitler's views regarding Pan-Europeanism. DeGrelle saw the Hitler he wanted to see, not the real man. I remember reading how he once argued with Hitler 8 hours over how the Russian Slavs should be treated. DeGrelle was pro-Russian. Of course, none of this mattered, and none of this changed a damn thing regarding what happened on the Eastern Front. If memory serves me correctly, that argument must have taken place AFTER the beginning of the Leningrad blockade.     The Waffen SS are the equal of any great fighting force that ever existed in the history of the planet. Their physical standards and code of conduct made them probably the most capable and moral group of men to ever see combat. You may make the case that some of the SS divisions could fall into that category, certainly not all of them. In fact most SS divisions on average were no better than the Heer (German army).    Moral? Are you forgetting the millions of  white  civilians who were murdered and starved?       Unfortunately they disportunately paid the ultimate price for their devotion to duty. Some day the world will recognise what these men did in their attempt to advance western culture.   How did the SS advance Western culture?
