LATVIA-HISTORY-POLITICS-WWII-RUSSIA
A woman holds a placard reading " No to Hitler and Stalin regimes" on March 16, 2014 to protest against the annual march of veterans of the Latvian Legion, a force that was part of the Nazi German Waffen SS, and their relatives from the Dome cathedral to the Monument of Freedom in Riga to commemorate a key 1944 battle in their ultimately failed attempt to stem a Soviet advance. Jewish groups, Moscow and some in Latvia's ethnic-Russian community see the parade as glorifying Nazism because the Legion, founded in 1943, was commanded by Germany's Waffen SS.
