Re: Hitler, Doeniz and the Baltic Sea: Third Reich's Last Hope

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...

Re: "RKKA in WWII" site updates for October 2007
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...

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...

German Graveyards
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...

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...
