Talk:Estonia

Something that's bothered me for years: I could SWEAR that when I read StB in late 2000, and the RAF crew was crossing Estonia, and came under fire by some local partisans whose identity was never ascertained, they called out "Don't fire, we're friends!" and the Estonians firing on them said "You're aligned with ________, we know it!" And he gave a name of some local potentate to whom his group was opposed. It was a name no one had ever heard of and no one ever mentioned again, except that from then on the shooter is referred to as "the anti-_________ite."

I've always thought that both ________ and the anti-________ite deserved articles here, however brief. And with 6000 right around the corner I figured this was as good a time as any. However, I've tried it before, and whenever I've gone back and reread the relevant scene in StB, there is no "You're aligned with ________!" Everything else about that scene is as I remember it. I just searched half a dozen word combinations on Amazon and I get the RAF people coming under fire from Estonian partisans, wondering who or what the partisans are fighting for, never figuring it out, announcing their peaceful intentions, and even having the man I remember as the anti-_________ite semi-apologizing with "It seems you are not who we thought you are." But no ________. Does this ring a bell with anyone else, or was it some sort of private hallucination? Turtle Fan 05:42, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
