Furious politicians in Poland are seeking the extradition of Yaroslav Hunka after the alleged Nazi was inadvertently feted by Canada's parliament.
Hunka, 98, is a Ukrainian who was lauded as a veteran "hero" of his country during a parliamentary meeting attended by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday.
But it later emerged Hunka was accused of a troubling Nazi past, when the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies alleged that during World War II, he served as a member of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, also known as the First Ukrainian Division or the Galicia Division.
Members of the division, which was under the Nazis' command, were accused of killing Jewish and Polish civilians. But around 600 of its troops were allowed to settle in Canada after the war, and the decision to welcome them has long proved controversial there.
