Estonian prime minister: Estonians who fought on the side of Germany committed feat of arms
Struggle of Estonian citizens, who fought on the side of Germany in World War II, was a feat of arms, believes Estonian Prime Minister Andrus Ansip. As DELFI reports, he made the statement on July 8 at a meeting of “fighters for Estonia’s freedom” in the town of Voru. “Your fight was a feat of arms that should be highly appreciated now and in future. Although independence of the Estonian Republic was not restored then, tour fight highly contributed to the fact that the Estonian nation maintained its aspiration for freedom for the whole period of the Soviet occupation. You keep saying in your circle: we lost that battle, but on the whole we won that war. You won, so did the whole nation. The Estonian sovereignty is restored on the basis of succession. Here lies your historic contribution to the Estonian nation. I cannot agree with those, who think your fight senseless. How can one consider senseless the fact that people were doing their duty before the nation and the state?” the prime minister announced.
