- This is a very significant book. It tells about one of the soldiers that were extradited to the Soviet Union by the Swedish Government eight months after the end of World War II. 2,518 men were forcefully hand ed over to the enemy that had been able neither to win them in combat nor to take them as prisoners of war. The majority of these former soldiers were Germans, but among them were 146 of Baltic origin: 130 Latvians, 9 Lithuanians, and 7 Estonians. (Over 1,000 Germans never came back from the Soviet concentration camps and never saw their country again.) In this book one of the Latvians soldiers tells about his fate.
