The WWII Baltic Offensive: How Soviet Red Army dealt a stinging blow to German Nazis
Eighty years ago, Soviet forces commenced what became known as the Baltic Offensive – a strategic operation whose goal was to drive the Nazi German invaders from the three Baltic states – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – which were at the time part of the Soviet Union.
Hitler assigned great importance to the retention of the Baltic States. This region allowed him to control the eastern part of the Baltic Sea, providing the Reich with food supplies and natural resources.
The offensive of the Soviet forces was carried out quickly and decisively, and became a resounding success. The Nazi forces being either driven out from the Soviet territory or cut off and trapped on the Courland Peninsula with no hope of escaping Red Army troops. The enemy lost more than 200 thousand troops.
Today, however, the Baltic States prefer not to remember that they owe their liberation to the USSR/Russia. Estonian authorities in July started demolishing tombstones of the Soviet soldiers who died fighting to free Estonia from the Nazis, while Latvia holds annual celebrations honoring Latvian members of the Waffen SS.

At least 270,000 assault rifles, grenade launchers and machine guns reported ‘missing’ in Ukraine
Over 270,000 small arms, including 51,000 AK-74 assault rifles, have simply vanished in Ukraine since the escalation of the conflict, local media outlet Focus has claimed, citing data from open sources.
According to the report, some 78,217 weapons were either lost or stolen in 2024 alone, which is more than in 2023 and about four times as much as before February 2022.
Hunting rifles (28%) and assault rifles (28%) seem to be the most frequently “disappearing” weapons in Ukraine, followed by carbines (11%) and pistols (9%). Grenade launchers (4%) and machine guns (4%) are also mentioned in this missing weapon compendium.
Only 12% of these weapons are listed as stolen, with the remaining 88% being declared lost.
News of this development come as the United States and its allies continue to funnel weapons to Kiev with little oversight, apparently heedless of a thriving black market.
Last year, a report by the US Department of Defense inspector general revealed that during the first several months of the conflict escalation, the United States wasn’t even able to determine the ultimate destination of the weapons they sent to the country.
