Because he (and a lot of other people) don't see his service with the Waffen SS as being problematic. This is a guy who said 2 years under Nazi occupation were the best years of his life.
I mean, Canada has multiple monuments for that Waffen SS division and the Deputy Prime Minister posted a picture of herself holding an UPA scarf (UPA was by most accounts far more guilty of atrocities than the Waffen SS 1st Galician was), so it wasn't necessarily a crazy assumption that people wouldn't make a big deal out of it.
