Already in spring, former SS soldiers can officially be recognized as “liberator soldiers” in Estonia

23
The Estonian Ministry of Defense has completed the preparation of the draft law, according to which soldiers who fought against the USSR are recognized as fighters for the freedom of Estonia. This bill is set forth in a coalition agreement in power in Estonia, which also includes nationalists. Previously, against such projects voted "against" in order "not to sow discord in society."

This project is planned to be held in the spring through the Rigikogu (Parliament) Mart Laar, the former Prime Minister of Estonia, and now the head of the Ministry of Defense. On this Tuesday message appeared on the portal "Delphi".

Advisor to the Minister of Defense Rauno Veri made some comments on the issuance of the bill. In particular, he said that the project is already being prepared, and its first public review and discussion in parliament could be held in the spring. According to him, the idea was developed, which was put forward in 2005-2006 by parties that did not form a coalition at that time, one of which was the Union of the Fatherland, the second was Res Publica.

However, at that time, the Ministry of Justice considered that the adoption of such a bill would have a negative impact on the state of Estonian society, causing disagreement between those who were on different sides during the war. Last year, representatives of nationalist parties tried to “push” this decision, but again failed.

However, according to the portal, now the adoption of a new bill has become more obvious, since it is spelled out in the coalition agreement. True, the clause of the treaty itself sounds somewhat vague, calling for the support of those who fought for the recognition of Estonia as an independent parliament.

There are explanations for the draft law, which state that de facto those who fought against the Soviet Union fought for the independence of Estonia, therefore they can be called fighters for Estonian freedom.

At the moment, the number of freedom fighters unofficially include veterans who served in the Estonian SS 20 Division and other Wehrmacht fighters. Meetings of SS veterans are held annually in Estonia, at which the issue of granting them the official status of “liberators” of Estonia is raised.

It should be recalled that Russia has repeatedly received accusations against Estonia related to its complicity with fascism. Including due to the fact that annual meetings of SS veterans are held on the territory of this country, the question was also raised about the military-sports games “Erna's Hike”.

Statements made by the Foreign Ministry of Russia stated that indignation was repeatedly expressed to the Estonian side over the fact of holding a rally of former soldiers from the 20 Estonian division known as the Waffen SS in the town of Sinimäe located in the north-east of the country. However, numerous protests from the international community have come to nothing. Local authorities still allow meetings for those convicted by the Nürnberg International Military Tribunal for many murders and atrocities in the occupied territories.

Laar was widely known for his warlike nationalist views. In particular, in July he warned of his readiness to stop a possible Russian attack from the east with the help of partisan forces and reservists. At the same time, Laar promised to knock out at least fifty enemy tanksusing the forces of one Estonian defense.

In August, Mart Laar's private correspondence, which was conducted by him after the attack on the building of the Ministry of Defense, became public knowledge. In it, he said that all the enemies of Estonia will be shot.

Recall that 11 August in the capital of Estonia was carried out an act of terrorism. One of the members of the United Left Party of Estonia, Karen Drambyan, broke into the building of the Ministry of Defense and began to indiscriminately shoot. After the assault of the building was started by special forces, the terrorist shot himself dead.

In his comments later, Laar suggested that Drambyan fell under the influence of powerful propaganda carried out by Russia against the Baltic state. It is worth noting that this incident occurred two weeks after the double terrorist attack on the territory of Norway by the representative of right-wing extremists Anders Breivik.

    So I would like to conduct an "educational conversation" with each of the leaders who help promote such bills. To everyone it is "intelligible", privately in an accessible language so ....... gave a "lecture" on the topic "What is good, what is bad." But the trouble is that from here, because of the computer, the hand will not reach these "would-be patriots" of these great Estonians and the like ...

        The whole point is that they do not study history, but adjust to their current interests and are ready to justify the actions of participating in the SS troops, saying that they fought for the independence of their country. But on whose side - the side of murderers, maniacs and sadists - it is carefully forgotten. In search of affirmation of their national identity, they make gross errors, if not crimes.

      And they will not react in any way ... How they did not react before! This is their "son of a bitch"! Small, petty, always asking to eat and not wanting to work! But, on the other hand, he loves to play war games, to put on the military uniform on his shoulders and yap menacingly!

    The crime of the SS organization as a whole was recognized by the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal, which ruled that "the SS was used for purposes which, according to the Charter, are criminal and include the persecution and extermination of Jews, atrocities and murders in concentration camps, excesses committed in the administration of occupied territories, carrying out in the life of the program of the use of slave labor, the cruel treatment of prisoners of war and their murder.When considering the question of the SS, the Tribunal includes here all persons who have been officially admitted to the SS, including members of the "general SS", SS troops ("Waffen-SS") , formations of the SS "Death's Head" and members of any kind of police services who were members of the SS "..." The Tribunal declares criminal, according to the definition of the Charter, a group consisting of persons who were officially admitted to the SS, were members of this organization or remained its members knowing that this organization is used to commit acts determined by the criminal in in accordance with article 6 of the Charter. The criminal activity was widely known to the members of the organization in order to justify the recognition of the SS as a criminal organization ”. Moreover, the Tribunal established that “from Article 10 of the Statute it is clear that the decision to recognize the criminal nature of the accused organization is final and cannot be challenged in any subsequent trial of individual members of the organizations.” And, as clearly follows from the judgment, the Estonian Legion The SS was also recognized as criminal because the Tribunal included members of the Waffen-SS and members of any kind of police service in the SS, stressing that “it is impossible to single out any part of the SS that would not take part in this criminal activity.” Separately The Tribunal "noted" the activities of the SS divisions, indicating that "the divisions of the SS troops are responsible for many killings and atrocities in the occupied territories ..."

    Citizen .... You look at your SS ... I already wrote .. that in one of the programs on 1 mu "Serving the Fatherland" .. where there was a conversation and a report ... about the remnants of whites .. settled in Hungary (if not I am mistaken) who fought on the side of the Nazis during the Second World War. Moreover, they were created by whole compounds, they handed the crosses to themselves, the Nazis wore the uniform. Where it was shown how they are now laying flowers on the graves .. prayers are sung in the church. And the program ends with the words "They did not betray their ideals, they did not betray their Russia" This is pi ...... c. Warriors, grandfathers, liberators, somersault in a coffin or cry in the next world with burning tears. And we still open our mouths to Estonians, Westerners ?? They do not have their own ideals and their own Ukraine and Estonia. Or we all of them spread rot and condemn .. not depending on the nation and countries, or quietly get used to it. And not piiiim once such a life has gone.

      But not at the state level in the end !!! You cannot get rid of any nationalists without radical measures. About what you wrote, I do not know, did not see. If this fact took place, then it has no excuse!

    If this program is on the "main" channel of the country, then this is the state level, when this is possible .. this is the state level. My indignation .. I stated in writing on the portal of the 1st I Serve the Motherland .. I have not received an answer so far. And by the way there is a qualification .. that is, I was given a message that my message will be checked .. and then they will answer .. and they did not subject such a transfer to something .. ?? Perhaps you can fill this gap .. by going to the site I Serve the Motherland and see the archive.

    I have a question you want to live? the answer is most likely YES. so why do you think these "heroes of the Waffen ss" are reluctant? After all, as far as I know, the comrades from Izral'e are looking for and really want to meet with decrepit old men from the SS units, and they have to adapt (SS) to the new conditions, although these warriors are not the first time, now Estonia gives them hope, which records these killers as veterans of the liberators "Estonia. It is strange that in the USSR these "heroes" were not shot. Most likely, the Jews will not stand on ceremony for a long time. Although Estonia makes one big mistake by placing these "heroes" on a pedestal, after all, who will their growing youth take as an example? From cowards, traitors, executioners.

    how the Nazis dusted their brains so they still can not understand ...
    they promised independence to them and they were glad that only the Nazis would have done what they don’t know with them at the end of the war ...
