Forest Brothers - Fight for the Baltics

Via WRSA


I imagine they will make a movie from this.
 
After the Second World War, soldiers from across the Baltics who had fought on both sides of the war disappeared into the forests to wage Europe's bloodiest guerrilla war against the occupying Soviet forces.

This short docudrama includes interviews with former partisan fighters and those who supported them and dramatic battle scene recreations and interviews with modern-day Special Forces of Lithuania, the direct descendants of the Forest Brothers.

  1. Those Balts who fought with the Soviets were not members of the Forrest Brotherhood. How could one imagine that any Estonian, Latvian or Lithuanian would support the communists and then fight them.

    1. A tangled web for sure.
