Talk:15th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Latvian)

Dubious war crimes in Poland
It is very conflicting fact about those war crimes in Poland. There is only Polish sources with no clear evidences. In Latvia none really believes them. Veterans in their memoirs claim that they passed Polish POW's to germans and they killed them. Without serious investigation it is hard to tell which was guilty.--Semigall (talk) 22:49, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree. I made an edit where it is said that the crimes were possibly done by the units of SS Volunteer Panzer Grenadier Division General Seyffard or Kampfgruppe Scgheibe, SS-Ostubaf. Later K.e.coffman deleted my sourced edit stating that feldgrau.net is unreliable source. How about Polish sources from Soviet satellite state period? I think they are not reliable.

 * Arājs Kommando operated in Belarus after participating in the Holocaust in Latvia. I suppose they could have made it to Polish territory. However, no one in the service of the Latvian Legion/Waffen-SS has ever been accused of a war crime, they were purely a front-line combat unit under the Wehrmacht. The accusation that the Waffen-SS committed war crimes is not credible. But if you have a specific source with accusations, I'd be curious to check its origins.

 * No Allied unit has been accused of any war crime neither. In fact they've been declared exempt from any prosecution posthumously. When accusations are made against Axis units this commonly deals with reprisal against partisans or partisan-supporting populations. This was actually a war custom at the time practiced by any power engaging in warfare. 105.0.7.222 (talk) 21:08, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
