Was hell for us from the Baltics. From one monster right to another :(

[@kasisto]

With one evil, we had to deal with for 2 years, with other, almost 50. Never again.

What was up with the Russians lining up their tanks like they were in a depot back home? They were at war. They should have been spread out as lookouts.

I am speaking to those people who condemn the Estonian people for joining Hitler's forces against Stalin's Red Army. The Estonian people knew what Stalin would do if he ever got his hands on the Bultic people. And the Estonian people were right, Stalin took 30 million Estonians from their homeland and left only 2.5 million Estonians, of which many were raped, robbed, and left for dead by the Russian army. Of the 30 million that Stalin forced into slavery all but a couple of hundred ever returned. My uncle who was one of the greatest music composers was forced to live off one frozen rotten potato a day until he too died and, joined the other 85 million people buried in the road of bones. The Estonian people who managed to live through the building of the road of bones joined the other people that Stalin had dining a channel from the northern lake Ladoga north to the White Sea, and from lake Ladoga south until they reached the Black Sea. This channel was completed at a cost of over 250 million people. Of the 30 million Estonians less than 2 hundred lived through it all, I do not know the numbers lost in all the other countries Stalin took over by force, but the numbers were not small. Hitler it is said put 60 million people to death which includes the insane, the crippled, the Gypsies, the criminals, and some Jews, Stalin killed 250 thousand of his own army as he felt he could not trust them not to overthrow his government & have him killed, he did the same with his own family with only two he kept alive and under his control. He also killed 250,000 of his own people as he took all the heating oil for the kremlin, then starved & allowed them to freeze to death. If you were taken to fight in the red army and you were not Russian
then you were given one of three jobs as you were forced into battle. 1. you had a gun, the next person had the bullet, and 3. was to run out and grab the rifle & the bullet, and then if you were still alive you could go on fighting. This was the way they could get rid of those they did not want, after all these people were not killed by the Russians. The worst leader in the world was in China they do not know just how many people he put to death, it is estimated he killed some 900+ million people. Yet when you go to the countries that Stalin ruled the Russians play it all down by stating it was only a small fraction of that number. To this look into the population numbers before the war and then compare to that number after the rain of Stalin. The Estonian people knew what Stalin was like & what the Russians were like, therefore they joined the German forces in the hope that they could somehow stop them from taking over. So before you condemn an Estonian for fighting with the Germans, you would have done the same. "Thank You"

When did Estoians Join Hitler before he went mad and attacked his allie Stalin or after? As there was a time when many may have joined as they joined believeing Hitler had a non aggression pact. I have never yet read or seen why or how Hitle justified a sudden change and attacked his supposed allie. I am not saying J.Stalin was a good man. But at least he did negociations and as far as I know kept to his aggreement. Hitler may have been too mad by the time he attacked mistaking his assuptions of Stalin attacking Germany on his error of judgement that the build up of Russion forces was a threat. But was it? After all the Russians moving west was part of the aggreed non aggression pact. So Russia had not crossed any line other than the agreed. Of course the Communists were not wanted. But still there was an agreement. As part German, I wanted our country to be right and justified. But tragically I can not find Hitler breaking the Rippontrop pact to be either right or Justified. Therefore the millions who died seemed to have died because of mad Hitler's insanity. LIve long.

[@digibath84]

there never was 30 million Estonians. There was 300 000 Estonians before the war...

[@hbpu2156]

Estonia had over a population 30-40 millions in the 1930-40 ? Hmmm… seems you made it up.

@@MikeGreenwood51 Stalin was not Hitler's ally, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was a non-aggression pact, not an ally.
