Apparently the 14th Waffen SS was unique in that it was the sole branch of the Nazis that didn’t do anything Nazi like, and never attacked the other Allies. Nope, just fought the communists.
How convenient.

If the Ukrainian SS divisions did not receive Nazi indoctrination it was because they were already diehard fanatics, and the Germans didn’t need to indoctrinate them. Same goes for the Baltics. They didn’t need the additional motivation to get them to commit plenty of atrocities easily as heinous as the worst German SS divisions.
Himmler said that ordering the Ukraine SS to kill the Polish would not be an order, but giving permission.
