On 16 July 1940, the Soviet Union annexed Estonia to its territory in accordance with the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact. Germany occupied the territory in 1941. The German "liberators" were warmly welcomed by the local population, 72,000 of whom even joined the German armed forces. The German volunteers in the so-called Baltic Legion, the Waffen-SS, were among the finest units of the SS. In September 1944, the German troops were evacuated and the Red Army entered Estonian territory. However, freedom did not come with the Soviets. The remnants of the Estonian armed groups resisted the Soviets until the 1950s, when there were murders, political trials, terror and, above all, deportations to gulags in Siberia (www.csfd.cz/)
