Its stuff like that, that are why I specified, "In Ukraine." I know theres more actual compelxity on the Eastern Front, but I don't really expect people to know that much. I'm only really expecting people to know "Nazis vs Soviets on the Eastern Front" since thats about the depth of coverage in school. Even that should be enough raise some red flags somewhere in the vetting process and/or the speech writting.

"Soviets allied with Nazis on the Eastern Front" was very much a real thing.

And the parts that the USSR invaded are part of modern day Ukraine. Ukrainians literally fought a Soviet/Nazi invasion in WWII.

I mean, if they have that much knowledge of WW2, then they should understand the potential of Hunka being involved with the Nazis, and/or with the war crimes on the Eastern Front. My point is that you don't even need to get to that level of depth or firmiliarity to see potential issues that could arise. Clearly they didn't consider even the basic red flags that could come with an understanding of the depth, "Soviets vs Nazis on the Eastern Front." No one involved in preparing the speech and inviting Hunka even thought to check which division he served in, nonetheless ensure he wasn't a war criminal.
