Description:

This week on the “Bandera Lobby Show” I was honored to be joined by John-Paul Himka, a leading historian of Ukraine, and the author of Ukrainian Nationalists and the Holocaust: OUN and UPA’s Participation in the Destruction of Ukrainian Jewry, 1941–1944. We scheduled this interview before the outbreak of “NaziGate,” but spent some time talking about the recent scandal in Canadian parliament and the Ukrainian Waffen-SS Galicia Division. If you haven’t already, consider buying Dr. Himka’s book(s) and check out his Academia website!

P.S.

Wanted to highlight this: Dr. Himka shares his opinion that concentration on veterans of Waffen-SS Galicia Division since the 1980s has “rather misled people… & in the meantime the 🇨🇦 government, 🇺🇸 government has been supporting OUN fronts for years in large amounts of money.”

Events that happened today (September 28):

1937: The Boletín Oficial del Estado officiated the ‘Fiesta Nacional del Caudillo’, the first time that somebody referred to Francisco Franco as the Caudillo. Meanwhile, Mussolini and Schicklgruber spoke together at a famous rally in Berlin. While the League of Nations officially condemned the Imperial bombing of Chinese cities that day, two of the League’s members, Britain and France, balked at the Spanish Republic’s demand to condemn Germany and Italy as aggressors and allow arms exports to the Spanish government, fearing it would worsen the general situation in Europe.
1939: The siege of Warsaw ended. Coincidentally, Berlin and Moscow renegotiated their Spheres of Influence.
1941: The Drama uprising against the Bulgarian occupation in northern Greece commenced.
1944: The Red Army liberated the Klooga concentration camp in Estonia.
