Blood in the Forest: The End of the Second World War in the Courland Pocket Hunt Vincent
Blood in the Forest tells the brutal story of the forgotten battles of the final months of the Second World War. Just an hour from the capital Riga, German forces bolstered by Latvian Legionnaires were cut off and trapped with their backs to the Baltic. While the eyes of the world were on Hitler's bunker, more than half a million men fought six cataclysmic battles along a front line of fields and forests in Western Latvia known as the Courland Pocket.
Forced into uniform by Nazi and Soviet occupiers, Latvian fought Latvian - sometimes brother against brother. The only way out was by sea: the only chance of survival to hold back the Red Army. Hundreds of thousands of men died for little territorial gain in unimaginable slaughter.
When the Germans capitulated, thousands of Latvians continued a war against Soviet rule from the forests for years afterwards.An award-winning
