March 16 in Latvia is dedicated to the Latvian Legion, a Waffen-SS unit formed by the Nazi forces which occupied the Baltic country from 1941-44. The majority of legionaries were conscripts and many saw themselves as fighting to defend Latvia from Soviet occupation.

I have a lot of sympathy for the Baltic States and Finland in their difficult position between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. I can understand their alliance with Germany. I would have made the same choice.

The 20 years regime of bolchevism wasn´t a good regime, but it´s hard electing these two evils.
