In 1944 another 123,000 men were conscripted but only 16,000 front fighters. The rest were committed to combating Soviet, Polish and Latvian partisans.
Latvian volunteers were assigned to HSSPF - North SS-Obergruppenführer Friedrich Jeckeln. He devised the ‘sardine packing’ method of mass killing. Jewish victims were forced to stand on the previous killed. The most vile method during the Holocaust by bullets.
