And now, veterans of those regiments are officially haled by goverments. And "red" veterans are treated.
Dear Evgeny,

"Officially haled"?? THE main complaint of those Estonians who fought against the Soviets is that Estonian government does not officially "hale" (hail?) - as You put it - them. I simply can not agree Your view that fighting against Soviets and Sovietization makes one nazi or even pro-nazi. Please keep these things separated. In Estonia veterans who served in Soviet, German or Finnish armed forces all receive the same benefits. I don't understand what you mean by "red veterans are treated". If you are referring to Arnold Meri please be aware that he partizipated in forced deportation of Estonians to Siberia. That he was HSU does not change that shameful fact.

Not removed. It was relocated to a military cemetery. That is perfectly logical place for a monument for the fallen soldiers, don't you think?
