The Latvian Waffen-SS Legion: Latvian Collaboration in World War II

During World War II Latvia was occupied by the Soviet Union. Deportations, purges and executions were the result. When the Germans launched Operation Barbarossa Latvia was quickly taken by the German armies. Many Latvians hoped for the Germans to restore Latvian independence, but this wasn't going to happen. Initially many Latvian men were willing to collaborate. From 1942 the Latvian Legion was set up. The legion consisted of two divisions of the Waffen-SS: the 15th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Latvian), and the 19th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (2nd Latvian).
