Unironically? Some of those were kids, back then. The photos make them look a lot older because they were tied, hungry, dehydrated, and filthy. Kids were lying about their age far more successfully then than now.

But you're just proving my point: you like seeing dead kids fighting for old men. As long as they're the right dead kids for your political compas.

    Lol okay, so at this point you'd rather try to rehabilitate nazis (i specifically searched for pictures of the SS during Operation Barbarossa, so these are committed ideological nazis in the middle of a genocide of 21 million people) than accept the victims of the US empire as being fully human and deserving of the right to kill in self defense.

    This is a level of fascist apologia masquerading as enlightened pacifism I have hitherto never witnessed before, and you yourself are a worm of titanic proportions.

    At this point you should monetize it and start writing op-eds for the NYT about how it's wrong to celebrate when IDF soldiers get got, you're already doing it for free for the Waffen SS.
