hucks216 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 If it has a Latvian link you might be better off posting this in the Northern European & Baltic States subsection in the European States section of the Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Temple-West Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 he was most likely to have been a member of the Latvian Police Battalion later attached to the 2.SS Infantry Brigade. If correct, the breast cross will have been awarded when he was a member of the "Aizsargi" (National Guard) a pre-war paramilitary organization.The link below may be of interest:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latvian_Police_Battalions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
