    Percentage-wise Latvia had more % of population in SS than any other country including Germany so i think the “Latvian” part did played at least some role.

      Most of the Baltics and especially ukraine had large percentages of nazis.
      Nothing has changed.

        Ukraine actually had tiny % of nazis in WW2. It was like 250000 or so nazis compared to at least 7 million Ukrainian partisans and Red Army soldiers. It’s just that west after war absorbed, coddled and promoted the nazi survivors and after 1991 send them back with a huge propaganda bucks, and in 2014 helped them organize the coup.

          It must’ve been that they were so active I got the impression there were more back then.
          Also that there is an unhealthy amount of them in our time.
          But thanks for correcting me.
