Historical Background:
In October 1944, the 3rd Germanic Corps, including the Nordland SS Division, made defensive positions in Kurland in the area of Preekoulm (Priekule). The Nordic waffen-SS had their defenses between the villages of Pourmsati and Gramsen. On the 27th of October, the Soviet Army launched the offensive. The railway Skuodas-Preekoulm was the new front line where the Soviets were stopped. Hill 28,3, south of Pourmsati, resisted to all assaults. And if Soviet troops succeeded to capture the Pourmsati station, they couldn't advance farther, because the Nordic SS held firmly the building of the school in the village.
