I mean somehow, some way, despite months of a propaganda machine trying to churn up western support with photo ops ala white helmets, Zelensky
still managed to tweet a picture of an Azov Nazi wearing an SS emblem
Russian's didn't force him to do this
This isn't Russian propaganda
Nazis are so common and so proud of their Nazi allegiance in Ukraine that even the western-facing narrative sculpted social media presence is flooded with Nazis

If you were the kind of person who would enlist you might know a bit about such symbols because they're all over every military unit for the past 500+ Years. Pretty sure Polish hussars were rocking the death's head.
It is an image associated with Christ and his master of death. This church is Saint Cecelia in Cincinnati and I see the death's head on the cross under the feet of Jesus and you can see it if you zoom in to this:

This mentality is important in the warrior ethos, something I understand is completely foreign to you. The warrior ethos dictates that one accept their own death as imminent with the purpose of performing as well as possible between now and that point. Mastering death is important to be able to do anything effective when the consequences of what you are doing can be very lethal as they are for that man pictured.
Yes the SS wore them. They did and they were scary as fuck and accepted their deaths and performed well until that point. They were the masters of death, as many before and after them have become.
You're just looking at the Grim Reaper my guy, and they come in nazi flavor, communist flavor, capitalist flavor, whatever master they're dying for.
