hello everyone
My name is Marek. I live in Olawa/Poland in Schlesien. Estonian unfortunately unknown. But I write in English or German. I am interested in the history of the fight 20 Waffen Grenadier Division SS (Esten nr.1) Schlesien in 1945. I managed to get some books on this subject: Rolf Michaelis - Esten in der Waffen-SS: Die 20. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS (estnische Nr. 1) and Siegrunen Nr. 52,53,54, and 63.
I need help in reaching the literature.
Looking for any material may be in Estonian or even a bibliography?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi ! Is a good book in our shops , languaqe is Estonian, but there is completed DVD too !
The price is ca 37 euro. Whatch this : http://www.raamatukoi.ee/cgi-bin/raamat?165638

The book which Plönn is referring to is not much of a history book but rather a photoalbum (ca. 500 pages and only 17 with text). If You are interested in the battles in Schlesien then You may send a PM to user "PKJ" who is also a member in this forum. Maybe he can help You and perhaps You can help him also.

Thank you for answers. I am a long time I was not on the forum. Yes, I know this book. Can I ask for titles of books in Estonian. Memories, history, etc.. I am unknown in the Estonian language, and I am looking for any books which are described fighting in Silesia in 1945. (Also in Estonian) I have a book of German and Russian, Polish, which is about fighting in Silesia. In Poland, the history of 20 Waffen Grenadier Division SS is unknown.
I found the book:
Teed ja saatused" (Tartu, 2001).

BTW, wiki english version on 20.Waffen Gren Div is not that extensive than estonian version. So at least try via google translator to browse it.
