Will they do anything while their Nazi comrade is massacring russian "collaborators" or doing whatever other war crimes and torture they get up to? They could gang up on the nazi and confront them, have them remove their patches and have them removed from their unit. Instead, they back them up or are cowed into conformity. To an onlooking ethnic russian civilian or donbas citizen, all they see from their perspective is 10 mechanized soldiers with a nazi among them who are too scared to stop the nazi. That's effectively 10 nazi soldiers to the ones on the receiving end.
