Three Latvian regiments,
1st, 2nd and 3rd, have been sent to the front
and placed at the disposal of VI SS corps.
Those Latvian men living closest to the Latvian-Russian boarder have
been declared politically untrustworthy, and therefore assigned to construction
battalions away from the Russian front.
If my parents had stayed
in Lielvārde on the river Daugava, if they had not relocated us 100 kilometres
east to Jaunpiebalga, then maybe I would have been considered too unpredictable
to fight. Life in a construction
battalion may have been easier.
