The Guerrilla war in the Baltic states was an armed struggle waged by the Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian partisans, called the Forest Brothers against the Soviet Union during the Soviet invasion and occupation of the three Baltic states during and after World War II. Similar anti-Soviet Central and Eastern European resistance groups fought against Soviet and communist rule in Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, and western Ukraine.
The Red Army occupied the independent Baltic states in 1940–1941 and, after a period of German occupation, again in 1944–1945. As Stalinist repression intensified over the following years, some 50,000 residents of these countries used the heavily forested countryside as a natural refuge and base for armed anti-Soviet insurgency.
According to some estimates, 10,000 partisans in Estonia, 10,000 partisans in Latvia and 30,000 partisans in Lithuania and many more supporters were involved. This war continued as an organised struggle until 1956 when the superiority of the Soviet military caused the native population to adopt other forms of resistance.
Lyrics:
Meie maast ida pool asub punane joon,
üle minna sealt keegi ei taha
Seal on juutide võim, politrukkide roim,
õige eestlane lüüaks seal maha
Seal on põrgu, kus piinu on palju,
igal sammul seal luuramas surm
Vereojad seal voolavad päeval kui ööl
Seal on jultunud roimarid tööl
Kremli müüride sees, musta vuntsiga mees,
seal on rahvaste timukas Stalin
Inimverd tema jõi
Baltiriike ta sõi
paksu mao endal ette ta kaanis
Ära küüditas paremad pojad,
ida poole kus Uurali mäed
Ära tappis ta need,
kel ei meeldind ta tööd
Ikka verised olid ta käed
Aga äkitselt siis,
kommunistidel kriis,
sisse tungisid saksa fašistid
Hitler ka hirmus mees, tema turmtule ees,
Punaarmee nüüd plagama pistis
Joosep jookseb ja Aadu a'ab taga,
Haua kõrvale kerkib uus haud
Eesti mehed seda maha ei maga,
juba kõlab metsavendade laul
Eesti mehed seda maha ei maga,
juba kõlab metsavendade laul
