Is it true that Austrians who refused to help SS in catching Soviet POWs would not face any negative consequences?
score:7
Accepted answer
The standard of real and genuine voluntarism, without consequence other than equivalent fatigue duties, in Jew and Slav hunting is well known and a commonplace in the scholarly literature. (Browning 1992 Ordinary men; Klee 1988 The Good Old Days). This holds for all theatres.
If it's true, you could simply refuse to cooperate with the SS and nothing bad would happen to you.
Of course it isn’t true. Millions of Soviet Citizens and Polish Citizens discovered this.
Why, exactly, couldn't a SS officer shoot down some Austrian peasant who didn't want to chase the Soviets?
Because they’re Volk.
