• Latvian historians are preparing an informative material about 16 March

A group of Latvian historians is preparing an informative material about 16 March – the unofficial commemoration day of Latvian Waffen SS legionnaires. The informative material explains the essence of the 16 March and analyses controversy around it.  It clarifies that the Latvian legion was established illegally during the WWII as the Nazi Germany mobilized local residents illegally as well as the USSR mobilised part of Latvian residents in its army. It also stresses that today, specific organisations use this day with an aim to accuse Latviaand ethnic Latvians in rebirth of Nazism in order to discredit the state on international level. The aim of the material is to promote comprehension about 16 March, strengthen state image and argumentation about accusation in rebirth of Nazism in Latvia.  Latvijas Avize
