Esthonian tyranny under German rule cited by Piip
Aug 16 Lindon reports Esthonian promised freedom long vanished under German control. Self-government abolished, German authorities oversee governance, meetings banned, Russian banned, schools restricted, factories halted, hunger rising as requisitioned food dries up. People suffer as authorities enforce occupation.
