In this book are incorporated some of the organized notes of Colonel Aleksandrs Plensners that he had compiled in 1949 in Pinneberg, West Germany. These notes provided the impetus to do additional research about the Latvian Legion and the events that took place in Latvia prior to WW II, during WW II (1940-1945) and the period immediately following WW II. Colonel Plensners was a WW I veteran and participated in the War for Independence during 1918-1920. As a career officer in the Latvian Army, he was closely connected with the history of both wars and with the molding of the Latvian Army. Later, while serving as the Chief of Staff on the staff of the Inspector General of the Latvian Legion and the Commander of the 43rd Grenadier Regiment of the Legion, he has well informed and closely associated with the events in Latvia and the Legion during the tragic period of Latvia's history. He was fluent in German and has served as the Military Attaché of Latvia in Berlin, Germany prior to the invasion of Latvia by Soviet Russia in 1940; he was also well informed about the events in Germany and about the German politics and plans for the Baltic region. He was one of the most knowledgeable officers about the various activities and the events that took place at the Eastern Front during WW II.
