EK 1939 Latvian Iron Cross Recipients

[Tiger-pie]

Here is a photo that should be of interest to EK collectors. I'm not sure where I found this image, I believe it may have been from a news article on Latvian SS veterans marching through Riga, or something like that. I know that it caused a bit of a furor among certain factions of locals, though by and large the local community was supportive, in particular the anti-communists. The most flak came from other nations who objected to the march for honouring the SS, though those with any knowledge would know that the Latvian SS was absolved of any "criminal wrong-doing" by the US government post war.
