And 70+ years later, they’re honoring the SS. OK.

What are you saying Eleutheria? moses said As the war came to a conclusion and the Czechs were facing a Russian occupation. Vasoff’s million man, Army Russians and Ukrainians fighting for Germany on the eastern front supplied by Himmler fought the SS now in control of Prague and chased them out and liberated Prague which kept the Russians from doing so.

Moses is talking about the ROA in the Czech republic and you are talking about the march in Estonia. Two very different things

the ROA were Russians looking for a way to fight the Soviets. They chose the other evil because the Americans and British offered nothing. At the end of the war they still taught something could be done, btu they were sold out as were other Eastern and Central Europeans.

The hell that was felt in Central and Eastern Europe was not only a hell for the Jews. Remember that others suffered as well.

And blacks suffered hell on slaving ships. And Confederate prisoners of war suffered hell in yankee prison camps. The past is relevant. But it does not dictate the present.

The Latvians sided with the Nazis to rid themselves of the Russians. Then they turned on their ‘liberators’ when they no longer needed them. That’s pragmatic. Marching with the SS right now, however, is not an alliance of convenience, it is an embrace of the now defunct SS’ ideology. And—yes—others besides Jews suffered during WW II—at the hands of the Wehrmacht and the SS, including Latvians and Estonians. It is an affront, not an historical pageant.
