“Only the vodka that we drink without glasses tells us the end is near“
The Latvian Legion was active during World War II. Made of mostly Latvians, they fought bravely for their homeland against the expansion of communism.
In Kourland (Latvian - Kurzeme) the last remaining German-Latvian army held on against all odds. Surrounded by the Red Army and with the Reich already surrendered, they would keep fighting for their homeland. In the end the soldiers in Kourland would also surrender, being the last SS division to do so.
--Lyrics:
Mēs nelūdzam tos, kas bij’ vakar
Mēs nezinām tos, kas būs rīt
Lai Staļins vai čerčils mūs pakar
Vienalga, kā kauliņi krīt
