There are persistent allegations circulating in present-day Estonia that Estonian soldiers who served in the Wehrmacht during World War II did not take part in punitive actions against civilians, mass executions and extermination of Jews. These assertions come from not only Estonian war veterans and young neo-Nazis, who freely advance slogans hardly fit for a country accepted to the European Union, but also high-ranking officials, including Estonia’s ex-president Arnold Rььtel. The official view of current Estonian politicians is that Estonians in German uniform were fighting for freedom of Estonia only in their homeland and only against the Soviets, doing their utmost to «lay the foundation for continuation of resistance that brought about restoration of Estonian independence decades later». There happen more refined lies, yet this is an outrageous lie, refuted by the documents collected in this book, documents that speak for themselves and need no commentaries.
