> it was just one person

There was similar case with another SS member in Canadian Parliament a few decades ago.

> was Waffen-SS, not SS -- and yes, there's a major difference between the two.

Poland asked for his extradition. They seems to have different opinion.

From wiki:

Elements of the Waffen-SS Galizien worked alongside one of the most brutal units of Nazi Germany, the SS-Sonderbattalion Dirlewanger,[119] which had carried out brutal anti-partisan activities in Belarus and Poland, and had taken part in the suppression of the Warsaw Uprising.[123] The Waffen-SS Galizien destroyed several Polish communities in western Ukraine during the winter and spring of 1944.[124] Specifically, the 4th and 5th SS Police Regiments have been accused of murdering Polish civilians in the course of anti-guerilla activity.
