ERNA I/II : Muhumaa, Saaremaa ja Vormsi

[Simon_Swe]

Is there someone on this forum who knows if there are any written depictions/stories of the battles of the Battalion ERNA II at Muhumaa, Saaremaa and Vormi ?

I also want to know where I can find information about all soldiers that belonged to ERNA I/II 1941.

Kuhu on kadunud hr. estoloog, kellel on kõigile bibliograafiaküsimustele ammendavad vastused? Kamraadi kuningariigist peaks ju aitama, proovin siis oma teadmiste järgi.
Dear Simon_Swe!
You may find the best answers for You questions from the Saaremaa museum. The lists of ERNA men are in the book of Ülo Jõgi "Erna legendid ja tegelikkus" (it's translated-published also in finnish). Also You may contact the vice-director of Estonian Maritime Museum mr. Sammet, who have studied and published about the ERNA activities in the Western-Estonian islands.

Aitäh metssiga!

I have found the lists in Ülo Jõgi's book and is going to contact Mr. Samme.

On the web-page of Saaremaa muuseum and also on another different web-pages:
try google "Cellarius+muhu"

[Simon_Swe]

Thanks, I have found Jaak Sammet's excelent article "Muhu vallutamisest 1941.aasta septembris". If anyone has a email-address to Sammet, please PM me, I have searched but not found.

Mr Sammet is already retired and unfortunately have not e-mail addresse.

Thanks metssiga. Does anyone knows of other books or articles regarding ERNA (also before the battles for the islands) ?

As I remember there was an artickle in now dead magazine "Luup" about the female member of ERNA (or was it in the paper Postimees??) Try to ask from Filiae Patriae, maybe author was Lea Noormets

[Simon_Swe]

Thanks metssiga. If there are a article about the female member of ERNA (Anna Lohk or Johanna Lauk) I would be very intrerested.. I will try to find that article!

If anyone knows how to contact Lea Noormets, please send me a PM.

Hej

Jag sett en artikel i tidningen Kustbon (Estlandsvenskarnas tidningen) om det. Jag har den gamla Kustbon kvar hemma i Tallinn. När jag åker till Tallinn för semester nästa gång, sen kan jag sända en kopia till dig.

[Simon_Swe]

Thanks ormsö! Ser jag fram emot.

Does anyone know if they are any ERNA-veterans still alive in Estonia or elsewhere (Canada). I know that three veterans still are alive in Sweden.

Maybe better to answer by PM in this case.
