A podcast interviewing the author can be found at https://ww2podcast.com/ww2-podcast/216-t...an-legion/

Ah I'll check it out for sure.!   I also had an Uncle in Latvia that was conscripted by the Russians and then at some point he was captured and conscripted by the Germans.  I always wondered if he got pressed into the Latvian Legion.  When I was a kid I used to ask him all the time about war stories and he never seemed to want to talk about it.  Whether he was forced into the Latvian Legion Waffen SS, the general Wehrmacht or any national army for that matter, I can understand now as an adult why he wouldn't want to re-live any of it.
