Compare them to other ones and you'll see they had the lowest rate of such incidents
Not easy to properly compare when their crimes aren't so well documented.
Historiography shows that the long held assumption according to which they were hardly involved in any war crimes, made way for the view that in fact they did very much engage in such mischief. Now with this in mind, I wonder what the verdict of historians would have come to be if more evidence had emerged. Like I said there's less incentive in the west for disclosure of WW2 war crimes against Soviets, compared to crimes committed against European Jews.
When it comes to comparisons though, the Slovak Mobile Division (composed of Slavs) is noted to have complained about the indiscipline and looting by soldiers from the Wiking division.
