This is just around the corner from where I live 10 minutes walk away. I first saw it in 96 when I went to a remembrance parade in this graveyard which contained brit war graves from the first War of Independence There was in attendance a crew of a brit minesweeper. Also at the parade were the women who maintained the graves during Soviet occupation. She was awarded an MBE for this probably the only Estonian to hold this award. Regards Chris..by the way the mig tail fins are awesome close up...it was the custom for the pilots killed in a crash.... |

Sub Grave
Tal
This is a Mass Grave of a Russian Sub crew killed in 56 off the coast of Paldiski in Estonia. From the site you can overlook the spot where the accident occurred. They died in 56..the class of 36. They are buried in order of precedence. Chris |

All crew lost
Mandi Hi
This incident happened in 56. The sub surfaced and collided with a ship above it. My GF comes from this town. They should not keep surgical alcohol on board subs! Chris |

2Soviet Graves - Baltic Coast
I enjoyed Doug Dabik's Stalingrad posts, and other museum threads.
I will try to add some pics of artifacts along the Baltic coast... interesting to pass the following 'neglected" grave site of Soviet soldiers...it was located off in the woods, on a drive from Sopot to Gdansk (Danzig) in northern Poland. These soldier's died during the liberation phase..early 1945. My companion pointed out the fact that, since the end of communism, these graves don't get the attention (preservation) they once did...
