German ambassador applauds Nazi war criminal in Canadian parliament

Canada’s parliament applauds Yaroslav Hunka, a former member of the Waffen-SS. Canada’s Chief of Defence Staff General Wayne Eyre is on the far left.
Last week, every member of Canada’s parliament, along with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, took part in a standing ovation for Nazi war criminal Yaroslav Hunka, whom the speaker of the Canadian parliament declared a hero.
It has since come to light that among those applauding the Nazi was Sabine Sparwasser, Germany’s ambassador to Canada.
At a press conference on Wednesday, a spokesman for Germany’s Foreign Office confirmed Sparwasser’s participation in the standing ovation for the Nazi, along with diplomats from other ambassadors from the G7 countries.
Seventy-eight years after the fall of the Third Reich, a top diplomatic official of the German government has applauded a member of a criminal organization that played a key role in the Holocaust and in Hitler’s war of extermination against the Soviet Union. This action is the result of a systematic campaign, years in the making, to rehabilitate Nazism as part of the promotion of German militarism at the highest levels of the German state.
In attempting to downplay the significance of Sparwasser’s applause for Hunka, a spokesperson for the Germany foreign office asserted that “that the true identity of Mr. Hunka, namely that he was a volunteer member of the Waffen-SS, was not known to those present, since his participation had not been announced.”
This is totally unconvincing. The appearance of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in front of the Canadian parliament was an important political event that was meticulously prepared. Invited guests would have been thoroughly vetted for security reasons. This is especially true for a “guest of honor” like Hunka, who was called by name and officially celebrated.
Even if the German ambassador had not been informed beforehand, she must have known who Hunka was when he was introduced by the now former Speaker of the Canadian Parliament, Anthony Rota.

“We have in the chamber today a Ukrainian war veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians and continues to support the troops today, even at his age of 98,” Rota said. “His name is Yaroslav Hunka but I am very proud to say he is from North Bay and from my riding of Nipissing-Timiskaming. He is a Ukrainian hero, a Canadian hero, and we thank him for all his service.”
