As a late comer to this thread, I suggest to anyone interested about British actions in the Baltic Sea after 1918 on, the book “Freeing The Baltic” By Geoffrey Bennet, ISBN 1 84341 001 X. It is a 2002 reprint of the 1964 book “Cowan’s War” Sir Walter Cowan was sent to the Baltic Sea with the below o...

Every battle has two sides to it but it is hard to discuss one if the other side refuses to acknowledge it. I am talking about MORES, LATVIA. While Army Group North was retreating South, it put the 19th Latvian Legion at Mores to stop the Russians from cutting off their retreat. The Legion was under...

Since this book is an accusation against Latvians, they did an investigation and if you can read the language there are a few pages online. From one version comes: "Daugava Vanagi" (Latvian Newspaper) 1942, 20 November, At the village after battling and killing the partisans they met two o...

The story you are talking about is the new 2007 released book “the Mascot” by Mark Kurzem ISBN 978-0-670-01826-0 about a child found in Belarus in 1942 by the 18th Kurzemes Battalion from Riga Latvia while hunting partisans. The unbelievable part is that the child was about 5 and survived the 1941-1...

If you have time , since we do not know when you are traveling, I suggest reading the book "Poland 1939" by Osprey publications ISBN 1-84176-408-6 about the German invasion of Poland which will give an understanding of the occupation of Poland and the start of WWII.

I came across this and wondered if the original grave is there. The Germans bought some land and with the Latvians have jointly opened a cemetery in Saldus, Latvia with the purpose of reburying all the fallen German soldiers there. When I was there, It had about 14,000 graves with a plan of about 30...

I am sorry for the late post but have been putting the 34 "Latviesu Strelnieki" books on my website and just finnished # 22 and am catching up on other things. The above pictured tank is in a museum in Svente with 2 other recovered tank, a personel carrier, and a Russian version of the jee...

No. the one you pictured has German markings and was the one I was looking for but noone knows where it went. Two of the ones in the picture are described in http://www.welcometowallyworld.com/planes-trains-boats-automobile/ While looking up something or other on the net I came across this fascinati...

In response to Snipershot.: All the books except one are in Latvian. The one in Latvian/English is 430 pages of the 60th year remembrance of the Latvian Legion in photographs from the start to the finish. The photographs are described in English and Latvian. It is available at http://www.balticshop....

As I read the whole topic , I couldn't find much fact but a lot of insinuations, name calling, and etc. I for a minute thought this was a US election. In my opinion , Patton was pompous and even took credit where non was due. I would suggest a person to look at a map of Russia before making any cons...
