I dont disagree with you, but just for clarity, Bandera was imprisoned by the nazis between 1941 and 1943 (i think) at Sachsenhausen. This was a punishment for daring declare an independent Ukraine without nazi approval. Still, he was a privileged prisoner. He didnt do hard labor, he lived like a king and was allowed all the visitors he wanted. Through these visitors, Bandera still commanded the OUN and the SS Galizien from prison and personally ordered the many massacres against jews, russians and poles. In 1943 the nazis released him so he would slow down the soviet advance through guerilla tactics.
