    First Estonian batallion "Ostland"

    Estonian Waffen SS Legion was formed in order to protect Estonia against the attacking hordes of communists. It should be noted that Waffen SS was not the ordinary SS and therefore should not be mixed with it. Waffen SS was created as an active military formation for front actions.
    First Estonian batallions (batallion "Ostland") were formed already in April 1941

    So was this the same SS that completely rid Estonia of Jews by killing them or deporting them or is it a different unit? I get confused sometimes!

    Oh, and happy belated independence day!

    I believe you're right Wolster. These are not Waffen SS according to their uniform, they wear police collar tabs and insignia.

    This is not usual Waffen SS, Hagen is right. This batallion has both police and military functions. Also they work with Jews and there are many facts.....
