Legenda is a non profit organisation funded by its members.
All Russian soldiers recovered are buried in a ceremony every April in a town near Riga with full military honours and attended by high ranking dignitaries from the Latvian and Russian governments.
All German soldiers recovered are handed over to the German war graves commission for re burial in various cemeteries throughout Latvia.
Legenda has been doing this difficult work for over 15 years and have recovered hundreds if not thousands of lost soldiers giving many families in Russia and Germany closure on lost relatives.
All our members are versed in the dangers of live ordinance and all live ordinance found is collected and disposed of by army engineers.
All our members are also shown the correct way under strict supervision on how to respectfully and safely exhume any remains discovered.
We do not and never will prescribe to battlefield looting and so called black digging were soldiers remains are desecrated and items found on them stolen and sold for profit.
Legenda adhere to Latvian law and local laws when searching and obtain permissions and all the relevant permits before starting our work.
Searching battlefields without permission or without the relevant experience is extremely dangerous and illegal and we strongly advise against it.
