Latvian Legion Day

epa06607990 People wearing historical Latvian Army uniforms attend an event to commemorate Latvian legionnaires during the 'Remembrance Day of the Latvian legionnaires' at the Freedom Monument in Riga, Latvia, 16 March 2018. Soldiers of the Latvian Legion were part of the notorious German Nazi 'Waffen-SS' during World War II. The 'Legion Day' on 16 March was made an annual remembrance day in 1998 but already abolished in 2000 as an official commemoration because it was seen too Nazi honoring. Latvian nationalists and right-wing organizations although still celebrate it regarding the legionnaires as fighters for the freedom of Latvia and against the occupation of the then Soviet Red Army.
