They want to smear the Poles, but they surely don't want to smear the Ukrainians!

No, the Polish Police Battalions were real enough.

But the article does smear the Holy Cross Brigade, it wasn't "accepted into the SS" at all, it just moved west with the defeated German columns to Czechoslovakia, where they just like the forces of Vlasov turned against the Germans again. There they actually liberated a concentration camp for women, just before reaching the Americans.

So anyway, let me cite the so curiously on-and-off reliable Russians:

In the spring of 1943, with the beginning of the extermination of the Polish population of Volyn by bandits of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), the German authorities formed Polish police battalions. They were supposed to replace the Ukrainian police battalions in Volyn, which were part of the Governor-General and went over to the UPA. Poles joined the 102, 103, 104 mixed police battalions, as well as the police battalion of the 27 Volyn infantry division. In addition, 2 Polish police battalion was created - 107 (450 people) and 202 (600 people). Together with German troops and police, they fought with UPA units. Also, the Polish police battalions interacted with Polish self-defense units and participated in a punitive operation against the West Russian population. Police battalions were subordinate to the SS command in Volyn and in Belarusian Polesie.

Polish police were dressed in uniforms of the German military police. Armed with the first Soviet captured weapon, then received German carbines, submachine guns and light machine guns.

At the beginning of the 1944 year, soldiers of the 107-th Polish police battalion went over to the side of the Home Army. In May 202, soldiers of the 1944 battalion became part of the SS troops, and in August 1944 the battalion was defeated and dispersed in battles with the Red Army in the Warsaw area.

(Their machine translation got really bad at the end.)

As were the Polish resistance's ethnic massacres of the Ukrainians.

And of the Belarusians, and the Jews, and of course the German civilians (and not just locals or colonialists, there were even terrorist bombings in cities like Berlin).

And as mentioned by the Russians, the massacres of the Russians (who supported the Soviet Partisans).

WWII was a super fun time!

Ukrainian recorded history is over 1,000 years old. Longer then Polish actually.
