The Battle of Syrjäntaka was very hard for the Germans; IIRC a German veteran of WWI who fought there later recollected that this was the hardest battle he ever fought. (Have to check my sources; maybe I can find where I read this) On the other hand, the Battle for Helsinki was not so hard for the G...

Hello,

I believe you mean the battle of Syrjäntaka.

Hello, Estonia proclaimed their independence on February 24th 1918. At the same they declared that tehy were neutral in the ongoing war. German army occupied Estonia immediately and it was only after the Armistice that the Estonians could make their independence a reality. Subsequently they fought a...

How about Hungarian; the triangle-shaped ribbon could point that way. Take a look at e.g. this page:

Well, I am afraid it was not quite what you hoped or expected, but an interesting item anyway.

Hello, according to the Estonian-language pages I found by googleing, it seems that soon after the first Estonian independence in 1918 a government office was created to take care of the state-owned forest areas that had formerly been the property of the Russian government. This office was called Me...

Do you mean the Alte Kampfer (Old Fighter) chevron that was introduced in 1933? The chevron was worn on the upper right arm and was awarded to members of the NSDAP who had joined before 1933.

One can only wonder whether they would have chosen such a sensible solutution without the rioting and external Russian pressure. From the very beginning it was the intention of the Estonian Government to move the statue to the military cemetery, not to destroy it. The rioting had nothing to do with...

Oh yes, nearly forgot: The one with the lion is most likely the coat-of-arms of the Grand Duchy of Finland.

... The remaining refugees, along with almost all Jewish-Finnish citizens, survived the war--except for a few Jewish soldiers who died in battle fighting for the German cause. A correction, I think, is needed here: They did not fight for the German cause. They fought and died for Finland, just like...

Okey, here is a quick (and dirty;-) ) translation of the shorter text. Hope it is legible. In the beginning of March the situation of the Estonian Division became difficult, since the Division was already deeply in a pocket with a depth of 20 km and with an opening of 7 km. The Red Army had reached ...

Hello,

that is an account of the Estonian SS-Division in 1945.

I am sorry, but I do not have the time or energy (or for that matter, necessarily the skills, either) to translate it for you, but if you have any specific questions about the text, I would be happy to help.

Another option might be : Googling "nuude" gives me the impression, besides all the obvious pornlinks that you get, that it's a finnish word. Could it be a finnish unit? Nuude is definitely not Finnish. The Google results all mentioned a well-known Estonian musician Mati Nuude. And, no, I...
