IIRC, 12th SS Panzer Division (Hitler Jugend) troops massacred a score of Canadian prisoners in Normandy. The 2nd SS Panzer Division (Das Reich) also massacred hundreds of French civilians on their way to Normandy as "reprisals" for Resistance sabotage attacks). And finally, Waffen SS units routinely participated in the unlawful killing of Soviet prisoners and civilians on the Ostfront.
Although not ALL individual Waffen SS men participated in war crimes, the Waffen SS organization as a whole is not without taint. To claim that the Waffen SS was above the sort of barbarity routinely displayed by the camp guard SS or Sonderkommando units is completely disingenous.
You show me a military that has not commented some type of bad act. I bet you can't. You keep coming at me like I have said the Waffen SS were some kind of angels that never did some bad stuff. I never once said that. I merely pointed the fact they have along with everyone else it's just everyone makes a huge deal out of them while giving everyone less lightning on the stage.
And I'm sorry but "my buddy told that the scout snipers have been using the SS runes for a long time" is just not credible.

While Raellus on that last comment all I can say is I was not doing interviews on research on matter. I simply do not see it as a big and don't really care. If I would have know some guy named Raellus years later would be so upset and want to doubt my story I would have built a case file for you.
