An organization that unites war veterans who served in the Waffen-SS legion in Estonia have sued a gay bar located near their headquarters claiming excessive noise brings them financial losses.
The EVSU society of war invalids from Estonia which sued the owners of the “X-baar” bar, the Postimees daily writes, is seeking compensation for the excessive noise that comes from the bar, even at night.
The EVSU society has about 100 members, most of whom are veterans of the Estonian Waffen-SS Legion who were wounded while fighting for the Nazis in World War II. The society occupies a building in the center of Estonia’s capital, Tallinn. Some rooms in the building are used for the society’s own needs and some are rented out. The rent is then divided between society members.
When the bar opened in a building next to the society’s one, some of the tenants said they were moving out because of the noise. The veterans complained to the police and sanitary services and after a short time the bar owners were ordered to switch the music off after 23:00. The owners acted in accordance with the ruling, though the bar continued to operate at night, and even then the patrons were allegedly generating enough noise to cause a disturbance, regardless of the lack of music.
The veterans are seeking about $8000 in compensation from the bar.

Marzipan, Please explain why there are so many Estonian Waffen-SS veterens left to engage in demonstrations? If your "Red Terror" was factual rather than just revisionist nationalist agitprop, I would have expected the Soviets to have rounded up and executed every last one of them, and their friends and families for good measure. As I've said before, from all the jack-booted unrepentent Nazis on the streets in Estonia, I fear that Uncle Joe and his boys were not thorough enough.

Probably for the same reason there are so many "holocaust" survivors, I would have expected the "nazi's" to round up every last one and execute them all,but they didn't.In any case the Nuremburg courts declared the Estonian legion to be a "movement of national liberation" Estonia was invaded by communists, why should the Estonian soldiers repent for fighting communism ? When Japan attempted to invade Australia during the same war the Australians fought the Japanese and no expects Australian soldiers to feel bad for fighting for their country.How is this differant ?
