Why use a German term? Why use a German term that is most infamous for its connection to proto-Nazis? Why not just be “Volunteer Corps” in Ukrainian?
You can probably guess why if you ask any of these fuckers what they think of Bandera.
Analogy:
The term Sturmabteilung predates the founding of the Nazi Party in 1919. Originally it was applied to the specialized assault troops of Imperial Germany in World War I who used infiltration tactics based on being organized into small squads of a few soldiers each. The first official German stormtrooper unit was authorized on March 2, 1915 on the Western Front.
“idk guys, I don’t see a connection to the Nazis for this Ukrainian battalion just because it’s called Sturmabteilung”
