I can't agree with Jager theory. Not at all. Young men from Eastern Europe who joined nazis fought for place for live for their nation. However they defined place for their nations as places when no other nation can live. They commit so many war crimes that I (who don't like commies) have to admit that Russian and polish communist were absolutely agree shooting them.
1) Letovians were perfect members of death camps crews.
2) Ukrainians too - SS commanders were impressed watching their will to kill Jews and Poles.
3) Ukrainian UPA - mentioned topic earlier. Commit extremely cruel war crimes on Poles, Jews and all non Ukrainian people on territory beetwen San and Don. Generally considered as much much more cruel than SS.
4) Ustasze into Croatia and death camp Jasenovac.
On the other hand Israel is protecting Jews who commited war crimes into ww2 and after it.
Now 2nd case.
Informations about that guy were into polish newspaper "Rzeczpospolita". Its probably most impartial ghazette in Poland and no one can connect it with anti semitism. They do not base on any Lithuanian newspaper but on data from lithuanian investigation and interview with Arad when he is replying questions. So that information wrote into that ghazette can be trusted and can't be denied without checking.
This moment I'm reading conversation with Icchak Arad when he confess that he took part into plundering villages and he took part into fights with polish partizans. There is strong evidence that he with other soviet partizans took part into murder of polish partizan.
Anyway this case is interesting example of process into whole world.
Not only Lithuanians don't agree on equality. Israel behave same. Of course on lower scale but same. You asked me about Koniuchy case. I have not ilusions about it. IPN asked Israeli prosecutors for help. According to IPN statements they have very strong evidence. However I'm sure Israel reply something like "Maybe these Jews were there, but they definitely did not commit any crime cause they are Jews and Jews were always victims. And these Jews were into Auschwitz (because all Jews from Eastern Europe were into Auschwitz) so that they are allowed to do everything." They are doing that practically all the time when someone is trying to accuse Jew of anything that he done into ww2. Sad but true -check Morel case.
