| В дискуссии с МИД РФ МИД Латвии подчеркивает,
что латышей силой мобилизовали в легионы
Waffen SS. Почему Гитлер не мобилизовал литовцев?
не смог или не захотел? Насколько я понимаю,
латышские Waffen SS доблестно сражались "за
права человека, свободу и демократию", а литовцам
похвалиться нечем - едва собрали какой-то полк...
Сравнительный исторический анализ "доказал",
что глупый Адольф Гитлер вооружил хитроумных
латышей, чтобы латыши помогали США в борьбе
против СССР:
"Comparative historical research shows that an
important motivation for Latvians, as well as
other European peoples, in joining together
with Germany was "the crusade against Bolshevism".
Latvian Legionnaires, however, were dissimilar
to German volunteers in that they never
fought for the Nazi ideology or the "new Europe"
that the Germans were promising. They were
not the Fuhrer's "political foot soldiers".
They never believed that National Socialism
could be the ideology of the future. The Latvian
Legionnaires wanted nothing to do with
Germany's ideological or military goals.
The Latvian Legion fought against the Soviet
Union not because it was fighting against
the whole anti-Hitler coalition.
Legionnaires were positive about the big powers
of the West and hoped that they would help in
restoring Latvia's independence".
