Attempts to form volunteer Estonian units under German Wehrmacht were unfruitful. Conscription became compulsory later in 1942 and Germans forced Estonians to join their so called Estonian Legion, a Waffen-SS organization commanded by the Germans. Former Estonian military leaders and higher officers turned now to Finnish Government and asked Finland to form Estonian volunteer unit. Things went on slowly because Germans were unwilling to leave Estonians to go to Finland but the number of Estonians grew when more and more volunteers who didn't want to serve in German units arrived in Finland during the 1943.


It does look like they sure didn't want to serve under the Germans.
