Re: estonian soldier
I now discoverd that Paul Kurbjuhn was no Estonian at all, sorry that I've put him in this thread, he doesn't belong here.
I also have found the info that he served with the SS-Standarte 'Kurt Eggers'.

Greetings, Mike

Re: Estonians in the Waffen-SS
I'm looking any info on Estonians send to SS-Unterführerschule Laibach (SS- und Waffen-Unterführerschule Laibach) between April/May 1944 and May 1945. There were at least three different courses that they attended and at least one Kmp. was staffed by them.
