Original Note:
The USSR invaded illegally the 3 Baltic states in 1940, under the pretext of protecting them from Germany, and forcibly annexed them. By mid-August 1941, Tallinn had become the westernmost Soviet naval base on the Baltic Sea, as Hitler had broken the pact with Stalin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pact https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_the_Baltic_states https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/article/the-soviet-dunkirk-the-tallinn-offensive/
