MONUMENT TO FORMER SS MEN TO BE UNVEILED IN ESTONIA 

TALLINN, July 23, 2002. /From RIA Novosti
correspondent Alexander Veretennikov/. - A monument to
former Estonian SS-men who fought on the side of
Hitler Germany during the Second World War is to be
unveiled in the Baltic resort town of Parnu next week.


The monument portrays a soldier of Estonia's 20th SS
division standing on a granite pedestal. Hanging
across his chest is an automatic rifle, its barrel
pointing eastwards. An inscription on the monument,
which was erected with money from veterans of the
so-called Estonian Union of Freedom Fighters, reads:
"To all Estonians who died for their country and
European freedom in 1940-1945". 

The 20th SS division was set up from Estonians on
orders from Adolph Hitler and on the instructions of
Reichsfuehrer Heinrich Himmler. The division fought
against Soviet troops in 1944 on Sinimae Hills outside
Narva.
