Weren't the forest brothers betrayed by the moles in the British spy agencies like Kim Philby? That's how the Soviet occupation forces in the Baltic got them?
The forest brothers just highlights the tragic situation, the vise grip of the big countries Germany and Russia / Soviet Union on the Baltic states and Eastern Europe in general. It was a choice between two great evils and both had nothing but occupation and subjugation of the Baltics in mind. If it weren't for America today the situation would still be desperate. I wonder how the Baltics feel about the joint German-Russian sea gas pipeline and other projects.
Unfortunately, yes.
