          He was expelled from the SS, Nazi Party, stripped of his Doctorate and all his military honours after he raped the child of a Nazi Party official, got sent to prison, got out, raped another kid and was tossed in a concentration camp to rot. Until he was plucked out when shit started hitting the fan.

          The Nazis themselves thought he was a sadistic pedo who belonged in a camp under normal circumstances.

          I mean I definitely agree, but there's also a difference between him and let's say Mengele.
          Oskar was in active combat while doing it.

          Don't forget that Oskar had an actual doctorate (in which he comes out as bit of a libertarian, though I think that was just his penchant for anarchy flaring up), was a highly decorated WW1 vet (machinegunner, no less, imagine the fricking kill count) and was generally recognized as suicide tier brave in both world wars.

          He certainly was a sadist, and a psycho, but he absolutely was not average.

          Memes aside, if half this shit is true I wouldn't see regular wehrmacht or SS units put up with this kind of bullshit without shooting them. Especially when penal units are not the ones doing the fighting but only the looting and pillaging. Makes for an edgy story, but sounds like horsepiss.
          [...]
          [...]
          This is the only use that penal units have most of the time, you get them to carry out missions like clearing minefields or make borderline if not outright suicidal probing attacks. Pretty sure that footage of headlong assaults around bakhmut are Wagner Penal units, both clearing minefields and used to counter-battery Ukrainian artillery. Where any half-way decent force would either try infiltration tactics or combined arms, penal units are last-ditch and "we've got nothing to lose tier".

          Interestingly enough, there were lot of people in both political (including the SS) and Heer high command that hailed Dirlewanger as a symbol of a "unshackled Germanic/Teutonic barbarism" - in the positive (for them) sense. Obviously, majority of the command would absolutely hang the whole battalion, but he had lots of friends and admirers also.

      I agree that from a cynical point of view, recruiting prisoners makes sense, because losing them impacts your society back home a lot less, but "everything is fine" is still a shit take on this.
      Really recommend this video if you want to get upset at someone who probably doesn't know better.

      Literally Wagner found a way to filter them out by cowards, that’s why they’re so effective straight from the PMC owner himself they had 55k convicts but filtered like 60% of that and used those to clear minefields
      America would never, we literally cry and shit our pants over 13 dead mutts at Kabul hence forth we will not win a war with the cartels lol they’ll just kidnap soldiers and behead them

    Generally no, but if you're in a ideological total war to the death like Germany and the Soviets were in, you probably would want to throw every idle man you have into the war. Nothing inspired inter-service unity between the Waffen-SS and the Heer quite like having the Oskar in their area of operation. More often they the two services issued joint requests to get them to move the the frick on.

      For pure fighting, the physical bravado of ASP types are ideal. The rest are genetic trash liabilities anyways and emptying prisons with mine clearing is an appropriate fate. Hell, with equal training and experience, you want the convict next to you in the fighting position, not the guy with liabilities back home to return to.

      and now you have convicts getting off free into the streets to commit more atrocities until their next round in the prison-dispat circus. Not every single one of them dies you know.

      Also delinquents are notorious for how unreliable, undisciplined, opportunistic and unhinged they are. Always get torn to shreds against actual organized combat troops and only good for terrorizing civilians and each other. Just look at Bakhmut and the absolute laughable disaster it has been for the so called second stronkest army in Ukraine. Convicts are a meme and always a sign of a weak military in half chaotic turbulence.

    Everyone forgets the US has a program where you can have your sentence expunged if you do a successful tour of service in the branch of the judges choosing. At the end of the day you still voluntarily go, it’s either that or prison and to some that’s a no brainer. We just incentivize the individual to integrate and more often than not it’s successful.

      Pretty big difference between what you’re vaguely referring to and Nazi and Russian convict brigades. Wagner is literally saying they want murderers and violent offenders with decades to life sentences. Same with the Nazis. The US was giving people with like 5 year sentences for drugs deals to serve in the military instead.

    Penal labor can be useful. For example, reducing labor costs post-war cleaning up rubble, clearing mine fields, retrieving and burying corpses, etc. POWs are free labor besides their food and board, and if they refuse to work you just deny them those things until they die or work.

    The army where I live used to have a Punishment Battalion, similar to a penal unit, but its where you send soldiers as punishment.
    In the 1960s and 1970s it was used mostly to concentrate religious minorities, mostly Jehovah witnesses, because they didn't fit in with the rest of the military and were beaten or bullied (conscription was 2 years long, later reduced to 1, then abolished completely) the idea was, if these minorities were surrounded by other minorities, they would perform better. the island where the garrison was had a high population of poisonous snakes and the water is very cold during winter, so they couldn't escape.
    well the punishment battalion had the opposite effect, and they were banned from having weapons, because they kept shooting themselves after being beaten or raped by the people in charge.
    the garrison was later disbanded
    our government did a very good job of hiding the whole thing and pretending it never happened, but close to the garrison there is a huge cementery, the tombs with crooked crosses indicate the person buried there committed suicide (90% of the crosses are crooked lel)
