Evald Laidvere remembers wartime service by Lake Peipus and on Piirissaar
Evald Laidvere's wartime memories begin on the shore of Lake Peipus. He tells Lembit Lauri about his service at an air-observation post and about Piirissaar, the small island in the lake, during the Second World War. His story then follows him to Germany at the end of the war and from there onto the road to Siberia, a path shared by many Estonian men of his generation. The programme is part of the long-running radio series 'Kirjutamata memuaare' (Unwritten memoirs).
