Crusades are made to capture some of the christian sacred citys who are controled by muslims, but the goal of the crusaders were political power, and power of the chatholic church over orthodox church.So crusaders killed more christians then muslims. Don't forget that the crusaders aren't only knights in shining armor, most of the crusade army are beggars who hope to gain some personal wealth, or to escape from there vassals.
There are many crusades that passed trough Bulgaria and they killed many Bulgarian civilians and looted our houses.Thats why we stoped the 4th Crusade and killed the crusaders.If the pope allowed us to chose our own bishop we would be catholics now

They never saw service in Italy.
They didn't become operational until Feb 44 when they were sent on anti-partisan duties in Yugoslavia, but in late 44 due to the advance of the Red Army, they were moved to Southern Hungary to fight against the Soviets

I believe they killed in excess of 300,000 serbs and 60,000 jews in thier homeland alone in ww2.
While they did take part in some war crimes these numbers seem excessive, do you have a source ?
