US Army Scandal: The American soldier with SS Totenepf Strapless was illuminated on social networks

According to preliminary data, the 20th Group of Special Forces of Alabama published a photo on March 24 on the Instagram network, depicting a serviceman in the form of a skull, characteristic of SS-Panzer-Division "SS-Panzer-Division. It is a specific image of the skull and crossed bones, which was accepted in the elite body of Adolf Hitler. Publications contained innocent comments - "the same feeling of day off. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Don't stop workout. Don't calm down.

" However, the photo caused a flurry with criticism of the strip, which was visible on the back of the helmet of one of the servicemen. After that the post was removed. "The use of symbols and embroidery with the image of historical images of hatred is unacceptable and is a clear violation of our values. We are aware of the situation and are currently investigating this issue," said US National Guard Representative Mac Museum. He confirmed that the unit deleted the message.

But in the following days, the screenshot of the image was published on other social networks, where hundreds of people criticized the unit and commented on the historical importance of the image. The publication notes that this emblem is brought to the base of the so -called hatred symbols of the American non -governmental anti -Difamation League (ADL), which is protecting the rights of Jews and fighting anti -Semitism.

It should be noted that ADL is an American Jewish public and political non-governmental organization that fights anti-Semitism and other manifestations of intolerance to Jews. Representatives of the organization claimed that ADL has successfully cooperated with US law enforcement agencies, including police and FBI.

According to Military Times, the investigation began only a month after the National Guard of Montana apologized for the use of photos in recruiting materials that showed Nazi soldiers who marked during World War II. These images also caused indignation on the network. Earlier it was reported that the applicant for the post of US President from the Republican Party Vivek Ramasvami called President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky "Nazis".
