All of the accusations against Dirlewanger are salacious stories of totally random rapes, murders, tortures of innocent people like nuns and babies. German soldiers doing these things would usually be swiftly tried and executed, for no apparent reason this prisoner unit was an exception?
I've never heard anyone square this circle.
Well, allegedly their brigade was established because it was thought that they, being convicts, would not allow emotions to get in the way of annihilating their enemies, which would have included polish resistance members, a decent chunk of whom were citizens with no prior warrior experience, who could blend in with the actual citizen populace.
The dirlewanger brigadiers were called "The black hunters" for a reason, I suspect.
