wouldn’t be the first time

Canada welcomed Nazis into their country by the thousands. If they had SS or nazi tattoos that was all the better (as it “proved” their anticommunism).

Speaking to a CBS “60 Minutes” programme in 1997, Canadian historian Irving Abella, who is currently Professor for Canadian Jewish history at York University, bluntly summed up the political climate of the time. “One way of getting into postwar Canada,” he said “was by showing the SS tattoo. This proved that you were an anti-Communist.”

Once in Canada and safe from the reach of the Soviets executing justice they then regrouped and began tirelessly propagating this propaganda - first against the Soviet Union then against Russia.
