A short docummentary about Baltic forest brothers can be viewed here: • Forest Brothers - Figh...
The track in the video is "Asinsvārdi" by folk group Vilkači.
TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:
Being shot at, lunged at,
I'm not grumbling...
The things you're shooting shall blow out,
The things you're lunging at me shall break!
Dear Daugava river is flowing fast -
Not to be held back,
By pulling a grean thread
I've held it back
A golden sash tree times -
Around the thick oak tree.
The lead bullet is not soaring for him,
Neither is the steel sword.
All forests are on fire
All roads are locked
With dear god's help
I want to go through it all
DZIESMAS VĀRDI
Šāva mani, dūra mani,
Es nenieka nebēdaju,
Izput tavi šāvumiņi,
Nolūzt tavi duramie.
Strauja teka Daugaviņa,
Ka nevaru noturēt.
Stiepu zaļu dzīpariņu,
Noturēju Daugaviņ
Trīs kārtāmi zelta josta,
Ap resnoji ozloliņ.
Ne tam līda svina lodes,
Ne tērauda zobentiņš.
Visi meži guni dega
Visi ceļi atslēgām.
Ar Dieviņa palīdzību,
Visam gribu cauri tikt
Latvija mūsų brolija!

Beautiful! The melody reminds me polish patriotic song 'O mój rozmarynie'

We resisted hard against the invading Communists, unfortunately, we were subdued. But eventually we Baltics got the last laugh when the USSR fell.
Yep, and many hundreds of those red "proletaria" army dicks are still lying dead in Latvian forests. Same sht in Estonia, much more sht in Lithuania. Responding to nowadays SU rebuilders - you will face the same. Another hundreds lying dead in our forests. No hope for you.

All hail the 24 !!! Their spirit will come in handy one of these days !!!
In Lithuania there's a joke about Swiss that's often used to lift up the spirits in the military:
somebody asks an army officer "What if an enemy invades Switzerland?" and he answers "Well, then each Swiss will have to take out their guns and shoot once"
"What if the enemy is tree times more numerous?"
"Then each Swiss will have to shoot tree times"
Same in the Baltics: the enemy has always been and likely will always be more numerous, so the warfare tactics have to be aimed at quality, not quantity.
