СПРАВКА: REFERENCE:
Ра́квере (эст. Rakvere), в русских летописях Раковор, немецкое название Везенберг (нем. Wesenberg) — город на севере Эстонии, административный центр уезда Ляэне-Вирумаа, шестой по величине и по численности населения город Эстонии. Расположен на реке Киюла.
Впервые упомянут в XIII веке, основан вблизи феодального замка.
В доисторическое время и начало средних веков эсты назвали этот город Тарбапеа (рус. Голова быка). По древней эстонской легенде, когда-то на свете существовал бык, который был размером с большую часть Эстонии. И когда его поймали, голова попала на Раквере, а туловище в Тарту (Тарбату).
В 7 км от города 18 февраля 1268 года произошла битва русских войск с объединёнными силами немецких и датских крестоносцев (Раковорская битва).
В 1347—1558 годах городом владел Ливонский орден. Городом затем владели Россия, Речь Посполитая и Швеция.
В ходе Северной войны в 1710 году перешёл к России.
В 1919—1940 годах и с 1991 года — в составе независимой Эстонии. В 1950—1991 годах был центром Раквереского района.
В конце 1920-х годов на северной окраине города Силами обороны Эстонской республики был построен аэродром. Здесь базировался отдельный дивизион Раквере Военно-воздушных сил Эстонской республики.
В ходе Великой Отечественной войны 1941—1945 годов аэродром использовался авиацией люфтваффе и подразделениями «помощников ПВО». 26 февраля 1944 года по аэродрому был нанесён удар авиацией Ленинградского фронта, в результате которого летное поле приведено в нерабочее состояние.
После войны аэродром был восстановлен. В период с июля 1945 года по 1954 год на аэродроме базировались части 277-я штурмовой авиационной Красносельской Краснознамённой орденов Суворова и Кутузова дивизии на самолетах Ил-2 и Ил-10. В 1954 году полки перебазировались на аэродром Прибылово (Ленинградская область), а аэродром передан 6-му пограничному Ракверескому ордена Красной Звезды отряду Прибалтийского пограничного округа.
В 1983 году на аэродроме проводились съёмки художественного фильма «Тревожный вылет».
После вывода российских войск из Эстонии с 1993 года аэродром не используется.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Before the outbreak of the Second World War, Germany and the Soviet Union signed the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact, concerning the partition and disposition of sovereign states, including Estonia, and in particular its Secret Additional Protocol of August 1939.The Republic of Estonia declared neutrality in the war but fell under the Soviet sphere of influence due to the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact and was occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940. Mass political arrests, deportations, and executions followed. In the Summer War during the German Operation Barbarossa in 1941, the pro-independence Forest Brothers captured South Estonia from the NKVD and the 8th Army before the arrival of the German 18th Army. At the same time, Soviet paramilitary destruction battalions carried out punitive operations, including looting and killing, based on the tactics of scorched earth proclaimed by Joseph Stalin. Estonia was occupied by Germany and incorporated into Reichskommissariat Ostland.
In 1941, Estonians were conscripted into the 8th Estonian Rifle Corps and in 1941–1944 to the Nazi German forces. Men who avoided these mobilisations fled to Finland to be formed into the Finnish Infantry Regiment 200. About 40% of the Estonian pre-war fleet was requisitioned by British authorities and used in Atlantic convoys. Approximately 1000 Estonian sailors served in the British Merchant Navy, 200 of them as officers. A small number of Estonians served in the Royal Air Force, in the British Army and in the U.S. Army.From February to September 1944, the German army detachment Narwa held back the Soviet Estonian Operation. After breaching the defence of II Army Corps across the Emajõgi river and clashing with the pro-independence Estonian troops, Soviet forces reoccupied mainland Estonia in September 1944. After the war, Estonia remained incorporated into the Soviet Union as the Estonian SSR until 1991, although the Atlantic Charter stated that no territorial arrangements would be made.
World War II losses in Estonia, estimated at around 25% of the population, were among the highest proportion in Europe. War and occupation deaths listed in the current reports total at 81,000. These include deaths in Soviet deportations in 1941, Soviet executions, German deportations, and victims of the Holocaust in Estonia.
TALLINN, Estonia - One Of The Most Beautiful Cities In The World!
Here are some of the short film snippets I took with my digi camera and phone, merged together to make one ten-minute video showing just some of the highlights of what, to me, is one of the most gorgeous cities on the planet, Estonia's beautiful capital city Tallinn (there's no commentary or music added - I wouldn't even know how to add that - just the sights and sounds of the city!) I absolutely love Tallinn and hope to return when I'm able. These clips are mostly from my stay there in March 2019, with just a few clips from my first (quick) visit there last September (2018). Tallinn is such a clean, laid back, relaxing city to visit. It's easy to see the old town on foot (although those old cobbled streets can be a bit tough on your feet!) but there are lots of buses and trams to travel around other parts of the city easily.
Tallinn really has everything - a gorgeous medieval walled town (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) that is like something out of a fairy tale, along with very modern quarters with all the big stores, a large ferry port which is great to watch all the ferries coming and going from (you can take ferry daytrips to Helsinki). It has a zoo that is really cheap to visit (check out their new polar bear exhibit), wonderful castles and palaces (Tsarina Catherine's Kadriorg Palace is a must), excellent museums, tasty food, cheap, efficient transport systems, lots of great value hotels and the most gorgeous cakes I've ever eaten!!
There's such a range of differing architectural styles, from it's medieval days, with such beautiful Gothic and Baroque buildings everywhere, various remnants from it's Soviet Era and all the great modern buildings since the Iron Curtain fell. Plus, lots of those gorgeous quaint wooden houses you see all across the Baltic States. They're so pretty!
The nearby beach suburb of Pirita is also a must. A gorgeous soft sandy beach, beautiful woodlands and lovely marina where all the yachting events for the 1980 Moscow Summer Olympics were held. The Olympic flame holder is still there to see, by the yachting club and hotel. It's a beautiful area to stroll around, relax and watch the sun set over the Baltic Sea.
Anyway, if you get the chance to go to Tallinn please do, you'll love it, I assure you! There is much more to Tallinn than I've included here, I just didn't get around to filming it all (I just took pics in some places). I also visited other towns around Estonia, like Haapsalu, Pärnu and Narva, which are all lovely, fascinating places. There's still plenty more I want to see in this great country, should I get the chance to return. :)

SUMMARY
=======
The Estonian War of Independence (Estonian: Vabadussõda, literally Freedom War), also known as the Estonian Liberation War, was a defensive campaign of the Estonian Army and its allies, most notably the White Russian Northwestern Army, Latvia, and the United Kingdom, against the Soviet Western Front offensive and the aggression of the Baltische Landeswehr. It was fought in connection with the Russian Civil War during 1918–1920. The campaign was the struggle of Estonia for its sovereignty in the aftermath of World War I. It resulted in a victory for the newly established state and was concluded in the Treaty of Tartu.
Latrun - Crusader fortress - Aerial Views (BibleWalks.com)
Ruins of a Crusader fortress, located on the side of the road from Jaffa and Ramla to Jerusalem, in the Judean foothills region.
The fortress, named La Tour des Chevalliers (the Castle of the Knights), was held by the knights of the Templars order. It was captured by Saladin in 1187 and demolished 4 years later. The French name La Toron (the castle) was the source of the Arabic name of the place - Latron/Latrun.
On the hill are old Jordanian military trenches, as the hill was also a strategic military post in modern times. Fierce battles were conducted during the Independence war, and a monument was erected at the foot of the hill.
