Is it fair that the Baltic States still commemorate the Waffen SS?

You've opened a real can of worms here bud. This isn't a subject many want to discuss. I don't consider the Balts the same as regular Nazi collaborators because of the extenuating cirstances of Stalin's Russia. I'm sure the Nazis must have looked like liberators after an experience like that. It's the old "my enemy's enemy is my friend" philosophy. Too late, they found out that your enemy's enemy could be just another enemy too. It's also a measure of how desperate the Nazi Germans were for manpower at the beginning of the Russian campaign that they'd take non-aryan people like the Balts, not only into their army, but into the elite SS, the Nazis' pride and joy. This is an interesting, and too little studied, area in the history of the Second World War.
