    To top it off, Bandera actually lived in Munich post-WW2, working for the German secret police (financed by the Americans) against the soviets, and was eventually assassinated there by a KGB agent*. So a special black irony about crowds chanting his name there, again with US information warfare pulling the strings behind the scenes. One would have thought the city had enough troubling associations with nazism besides, that they would be a little bit ... sensitive about this kind of thing, or at least not completely pig ignorant in embracing it. F*&% sake...

    During the post-war of the late 1940s and early 50s, Stepan Bandera was an immigrant in West Germany. He worked for the BND, the German Intelligence Service, and its forerunner, the Gehlen Org, a top secret organization established in a Munich suburb run by Hitler’s former intelligence chief in East Europe, General Reinhard Gehlen. Financed by the USA, the Gehlen Org was specialized in espionage and training of spies to be infiltrated into the Soviet Union. Bandera and his wife, Yaroslava, and their three children had also settled in Munich. While the Germans and Americans used Bandera only sparingly and for many he seemed forgotten, the Soviet Union had not forgotten him. Repeated attempts were reportedly made on his life. Yet Bandera remained in Munich, living under the name of Stepan Popel, still a thorn in the side of his many enemies.
