“The Finns who volunteered to join the SS weren’t really nazis, they just wanted to protect their country. There’s no evidence that they committed war crimes, which makes OK that they joined the nazi army.”
That kind of shit is why I stopped listening to Sabaton. I like their music, and they have multiple songs from a pro-Soviet perspective, but they have just as many (if not more) that glorify nazis. Including that one Finnish guy who fought in the Finnish army, joined the Waffen-SS to fight the USSR, and then joined the US army and fought in Vietnam

At least the Viet Cong got another massive W by killing him.
That was the kind of thing that kept me from ever listening to Sabaton, plus I just don’t like power metal in general.
