Estonia: Waffen-SS veterans mark anniversary of 'Battle of Tannenberg Line'

Estonian WWII veterans who fought for the 20th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS attended a remembrance ceremony in Sinimae, Saturday, to mark the anniversary of the Battle of Tannenberg Line. The battle was fought between Nazi and Red Army troops from July 25 until August 10, 1944. The division was a unit of the Nazi's Waffen SS in German-occupied Estonia during World War II. Hundreds of people attended the commemoration, including veterans, the family of veterans and young nationalists. Attendees placed wreaths at a memorial dedicated to Estonian soldiers who died in the battle. The Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly condemned the Sinimae rallies, calling them an attempt to glorify the Nazis and their supporters.
