After the occupation of Latvia by the USSR in June 1940, much of the previous Latvian army was disbanded and many of its soldiers and officers were arrested and imprisoned or executed. The following year Nazi Germany occupied Latvia during the offensive of Army Group North. The German Einsatzgruppen were aided by a group known as Arajs Kommando in the killing of Latvian Jews as part of the Holocaust. Latvian soldiers fought on both sides of the conflict against their will, and in 1943 180,000 Latvian men were drafted into the Latvian Legion of the Waffen-SS and other German auxiliary forces.

  • В ходе Второй мировой войны Латвия стала одной из стран, которая по секретному дополнительному протоколу к пакту Молотова — Риббентропа вошла в советскую сферу влияния. После заключения пакта СССР аннексировал Латвию в августе 1940 года. Образованная в составе СССР Латвийская ССР вступила в Великую Отечественную войну против нацистской Германии 22 июня 1941 года.

  • Après l'occupation de la Lettonie par l'URSS en juin 1940, une grande partie de l'ancienne armée lettone est dissoute et nombre de ses soldats et officiers sont arrêtés et emprisonnés ou exécutés. L'année suivante, l'Allemagne nazie occupe la Lettonie à la suite de l'offensive du groupe d'armées Nord. Les Einsatzgruppen allemands sont assistés par une unité paramilitaire connue sous le nom de Sonderkommando Arājs dans les massacres de Juifs lettons dans le cadre de la Shoah. Les soldats lettons ont combattu des deux côtés du conflit contre leur gré et, en 1943, 180 000 hommes lettons sont enrôlés dans la Légion lettone de la Waffen-SS et d'autres forces auxiliaires allemandes.
