Another thing you guys need to remember is that Waffen SS troopers fought different types of war depending on which front they fought in .
Waffen SS units that fought in the East fought an all out no mercy war against Soviet Forces , no quarter was given by either side , all out brutal war.
In the West it was different Waffen SS units that fought the Western Allies respected cease fires and even would call a halt to the fighting so both sides could retrieve dead and wounded of the field.

I think people must remember that reenacting doesn't require one to adopt the beliefs of the impression.
When I don PAVN Khaki and pack a AK, I do not immediately become a Communist, nor do I torture and kill anyone, I feel is loyal to Saigon.
I'm sure rebel Civil war reenactors, do not believe in slavery either.
There are SS reenactors out there, because the SS is a part of WW2 history. Not because they respect atrocities committed.
And if the US had lost WW2, you can be damn sure, our service men would have been brought up on war crimes as well. (LeMay and the fire bombing of Tokyo comes to mind)
[panzer mod edit]-added a space to 'apart' to appease the Grammer SS.
