killed or tortured to death in concentration camps. exactly how that happened is told by footage, recording the execution of jews in chicago. you know, the bio ah, the police justified that crimes with the intention to build a racially pillar latvia. however, no such latvia even existed, nor could it exist. again, the rail, busy him. oh, general district fell under the right commissary at portland. the region was under german control. i'm supervised by general commissioner auto hydration dressler the nazi's, ultimate goal, was to build the 3rd reich in which they would be masters. and all sub humans were destined to be enslaved or exterminated. oh la cisco, what's to a, he informed me,

it was you what a roofing, etc. so this is key for him and i wanna talk to a pursue with you. not so fussy is that just people on the what machine yoga leticia category should that is any of that, shall i you, can you a drastic authority or state that as the newest we won't lose you as beecham. yeah, monica, ah, so well with a shave her not to somebody or shifted those level of weakness every jayson on below the that she to nature. i will finish in that she be because when you meet with a full show, so that's certainly thoughts or a leave lasana lack of lucky she's not sto, martha was that i would get you to leave all of those to with disk in order to shit on the orders of nancy superiors, the likes of been dell, ski advice,

encouraged young latvian men to join the ss where they're sworn out of loyalty was to anything. but the latvian people is by god is what a fight. as those sounded like in the name of god, i solemnly swear my indefinite obedience to the german armies commander in chief adult hitler, fighting the bolsheviks. and as a brave warrior, i'm willing to give my life to this promise. with the germans didn't just send latvian volunteers to carry out punitive operations in occupied latvia, but also far beyond its borders. you're involved with just the really why yeah. when you talk with the 230 for a bulky piece of in the go from us. know either station dogrib, even the credit of stay or but there is delaney, but she actually, sir, gil munchkin, germans come on. come on the when you get little?

a 1000 children was sent to the sellers bills desk, and in addition to mil rules, lamphier says police battalions carried out punitive operations in russia, ukraine, and poland. such operations can never be called a struggle for an independent latvia. that much is obvious to even a casual observer. why you may consider what he still gives to you now, and this is a who would be he's upset beginning with not the term steve. i was gonna finish this if you will. but now, mean you got which is just the data. so lots of public good if you got here, which grew d by at the was dish with those new which in this up and you might still work with the bus beat wirelessly still probably was of course in the autumn of 1941, germany sent a number of latvian volunteers to fight in the 2nd s s infantry division. by may

9436 latvian volunteer battalions were all ready active in this division. later in april 1943. those battalions formed the basis for the latvian s. s and volunteer brigade. then it was renamed the 19th, and as, as from that the volunteer division was the scattering. junior year year on the iraq florida zimmer. oh, come on. the bus. yo yamaha. in the spring of 1943. volunteer recruitment began at the same time as mobilization of the new 15th of often as, as lesbian, volunteer, division of up to 50000 latvians, voluntarily served in police attachments. those that were subordinate to the u. s.

the nuremberg tribunal recognized all who served in the ss as war criminals. the only exception was made for anyone who had been forcibly called up for military service by the state. therefore depriving the conscript of the right to choose or not as soon as possible in law. he stribling, even through g. i'll not beastie now. she's the guy news of your not correcting mira aboriginal, but almost from diamonds to holmes dusk. selenium you oh, with a little interpretation linking this day, made it possible to exclude not just those who are forcibly called up to serve in the office as lengthy and efficient from the list of criminals, middles of those who volunteered even those guilty of ethnic cleansing, for a latvian latvia, they just got a lot of people starting to plan. i came to the right to me features. kimberly,

again, you had a minute pastry. it's not a talk is an emotional and she does all. now you believe you had better with it, but he roby very peaceful. so ah, an opportunity presented itself to turn a murderer like that, but sucrose into a national hero, making it possible for the latvian republics highest leadership to worship the graves of collaborators at a national cemetery. stand out in field of odom, our vice and ss grew up and filled out rudolph bankers. only one problem remained out to remove the stigma of a criminal organization from the latvian toughness as legion itself. laugh as ruling nationalist elite managed to solve the problem by proposing the thesis that there was no difference between the genocidal nazis and the communist. who saved the well from the brown plague? ah,

that idea became the foundation for official latvian ideology, both within the country and beyond. ah, madame lucy to maria good or whatnot. the keep up with give law him. what's your robin? your companies must like to come when use them. but when you at that, if you will give when you 1st see them at the place, took my little gear and his teacher was like one on yet for she's me. some people may say, let's not bother the harmless old folk on march to 16th them to commemorate their comrades who fell in battle. others say that the symbolic purpose of the ceremonies is not a commemoration, but to idolize nazi criminals. as a result, latvia has seen a rapid growth in neo nazi sentiment. you talks lushly whip those could go to legal bowler to make a socialist. she could throw chicago to do with that. it's a pity,

beside to store 200 thompson lease due to family member waiting for ministration back and they keep up with you. but if you could delete them, if you will double up with so much time as a sub. and this film shows the federal torchlight procession. and this is video of the torchlight procession organized by the all philosophy, a party in 2000 to meet both feature the same aesthetic, some slogans and the same conviction to build a racially pure laughing with
