TEHRAN, IRAN - In the wake of the nuclear deal reached with the Obama Administration, celebrations inside Iran ranged from cheering in the streets to accepting S-300 missiles from Russia.
One such celebratory event, overlooked by Western media, was the bestowing of prestigious official awards that come with the "Revered in Iran" title upon two surviving soldiers of the Waffen SS. During WWII, Hans Lipschitz served at Auschwitz. The other one, Helmut Oberlander, was in charge of delivering Jewish citizens from the Eastern Front.
In order to qualify, there must be documented proof that the recipients "had personally risked their lives to bring justice to Jewish war criminals and thieves during WWII, and later suffered wrongful persecution from the Western world for their righteous actions."
Crowds cheered as Lipschitz and Oberlander received their awards while wearing their original war-time uniforms.
Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, issued a press release, stating that "We will always remember with gratitude their bravery and heroic actions against the Jewish dogs, who occupied German stores and Eastern European towns. We are pleased that Allah was willing to bring a large number of spectators to the award ceremony."
The award is made in the form of a small gold pendant picturing Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran, and comes with a duplicate of the plaque with the recipient's name, which was placed in "The Hall of Heroes" at the Sa'dabad Palace, the presidential residence in Iran.
Following the ceremony, Lipschitz made himself available for interviews in a closed room by select reporters.
"It is heart-warming to be finally recognized for our sacrifice," he said through an interpreter. "Not since the days of the Third Reich have we been properly thanked. It is good to see that so many people here in Iran share our sentiment of resentment towards the Jewish entity. Your recent negotiations with our former enemy, the United States, give hope for yet another final solution to that problem in the near future. But more importantly, I am overjoyed that the world my Fuehrer envisioned is coming to life through the efforts of the Iranian and Palestinian people. They may lack the blond hair and blue eyes of our Aryan heritage, but their hearts and attitudes are definitely the markings of a superior race."
Oberlander remained silent in his wheelchair due to an oxygen treatment he is currently undergoing. As the interview came to a conclusion, however, he slowly extended his right arm in a salute, to cheers and loud applause from the onlookers.
