Estonia is the small Baltic country where 275,000 Soviet
soldiers and partisans gave their own lives in order to liberate it from
the Nazi yoke. Nonetheless, instead of honoring them, the Estonian authorities
glorify the collaborators of the Nazis who fought against the Soviet Red
Army in the Second World War.
Recently, in the city of Jõhvi, the local authorities unveiled a new memorial dedicated to an Estonian Nazi. His name was Georg Sooden and he was a captain of the 20th Estonian Waffen-SS Division which fought alongside the Nazis against the Soviet Union. Sooden was killed during a battle with the Red Army in the Blue Hills of Tannenberg line in July 1944.
