So yeah, Politico's European edition has actually published a piece with the headline "Fighting against the USSR didn’t necessarily make you a Nazi". In it, the author argues that the literal SS, the Nazi party's private army and police organization, wasn't that bad.
You talk about normalizing fascism, well, this is sure as hell a milestone.
For what it's worth, I'm a historian specializing in the 20th century. One of my relatives served in the Waffen-SS. https://www.politico.eu/article/fight-against-ussr-nazi-waffen-ss-trooper-yaroslav-hunka-world-war-ii-soviet-union-germany/
