Swedish extradition of Baltic soldiers The Swedish extradition of Baltic soldiers , in Sweden known as the Extradition of the Balts ( ) , is a controversial political event in Sweden that took place in 1945 - 1946 , when Sweden extradited some 150 Baltic former soldiers who had been drafted by the Axis against the Soviet Union in World War II . On 2 June 1945 , the Soviet Union demanded that Sweden extradite all Axis soldiers . The government protocol from 15 June was kept secret until it became public on 19 November . It was supported by most of parliament and the Swedish Communist Party wanted to go further , by extraditing all civilian refugees from Estonia , Latvia and Lithuania . The majority of the Baltic soldiers extradited were Latvians who had escaped from the Courland Pocket . When the refugees reached Sweden , those in uniform were detained in detention camps . The extradition to the Soviets took place on 25 January 1946 in the port of Trelleborg for transportation on the steamer " Beloostrov " . A memorial , " stranded refugee ship " ( 1999 - 2000 ) by Christer Bording , has been erected in Trelleborg . On return they were briefly put in a camp in Liepaja and later released . According to one source at least 50 of the Latvians were arrested between 1947 and 1954 and were sentenced , often to 10 – 15 years in prison . Sweden also extradited about 3 , 000 German soldiers , according to laws on prisoners of war . The Balts were however more controversial since the Soviet authorities viewed them as Soviet citizens ( the Soviet Union had occupied the independent Baltic states in 1940 ) and therefore regarded the Balts as traitors , and the internees feared death sentences . Two Latvian officers committed suicide and several of the Balts attempted suicide . Of the prisoners , Lieutenant Colonel Kārlis Gailītis and Captain Ernsts Keselis were sentenced to death , but had their sentences changed to 17 years hard labour . Three others of lower ranks were sentenced to death and executed in 1946 . There was no legal ground for the extradition . According to the Hague Conventions , after the end of a war a neutral power is not required to extradite warfighters to anyone . Furthermore , prisoners must be free to return home , but only if they wish to do so . In 1970 , Johan Bergenstråhle made a film , " Baltutlämningen " ( English title : " A Baltic Tragedy " ) , about the subject . The film is based on Per Olov Enquist ’ s " Legionärerna : En roman om baltutlämningen " ( 1968 ) ( English title : " The Legionnaires : A Documentary Novel " ) which had won the Nordic Council ' s Literature Prize and Enquist collaborated on the script . On 20 June 1994 , 40 of the 44 surviving extradited ( 35 Latvians , 4 Estonians , and 1 Lithuanian ) accepted an invitation to visit Sweden . They were received by King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden at the Royal Palace in Stockholm . The Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs Margaretha af Ugglas said that the Swedish government agreed with the criticism of the decision and regretted the injustice . ( See Svenska Dagbladet 21 and 22 June 1994 , and Dagens Nyheter 21 and 22 June 1994 ) .
Tugan Gannet The Tugan LJW7 Gannet , also known later as the Wackett Gannet after its designer Lawrence Wackett , was a small twin - engined airliner built by Tugan Aircraft in Australia in the 1930s . It was the first Australian - designed aircraft to enter series production . It was also the first Australian - designed and - built aircraft to be taken on strength by the Royal Australian Air Force . The Gannet was a strut - braced , high - wing monoplane of conventional design , with twin engines mounted in nacelles on the wings . The undercarriage was of fixed , tailwheel configuration with divided main units . The wings were of wooden construction , skinned in plywood , and the fuselage was built from welded steel and covered in fabric . The prototype Gannet underwent flight testing in October 1935 , and was destroyed in a crash shortly thereafter . The pilot and passengers perished in the ensuing fire , but despite this , the Gannet entered series production . The type was operated by Butler Air Transport between Sydney and Broken Hill and at least one flew with Ansett Airways in 1943 . RAAF Gannets saw service as survey aircraft between 1935 and 1942 when they were converted into air ambulances for the newly formed No . 2 Air Ambulance Unit . The last RAAF Gannets were scrapped in 1946 .

Battle of Octodurus The Battle of Octodurus took place in the winter of 57 - 56 BC in the Gallic town of Octodurus in what is now Martigny , Valais , Switzerland . The battle was the result of a Roman attempt to open the Great St . Bernard Pass over the Alps . While it was a Roman victory , the ferocity of the fighting ended with the Roman legion moving back out of the Alps . Background . When Caesar was in Gallia ( 57 — 56 BC ) he sent Servius Galba with the Twelfth Legion and some cavalry to Gallia Transalpina , into the country of the Nantuates , Veragri , and Seduni . His purpose in sending this force was to protect the Poeninus Pass over the Alps . Roman merchants were able to travel over the pass , but were sometimes attacked and were forced to pay tolls to the mountain tribes . Galba , after taking many strong places , and receiving the submission of the people , sent two cohorts into the country of the Nantuates , and wintered with the remaining cohorts in a town of the Veragri named Octodurus . The town was situated in a narrow valley , surrounded by mountains and divided by the Dranse river . Galba gave one part of the town to the Galli to winter in , and assigned the other to his troops . He fortified the roman portion of the town with a ditch and rampart and prepared for winter . However , a few days after they moved into camp , a Gallic army attacked the fortifications . Caesar gives a number of reasons for this attack , amongst them a belief that the Romans wouldn ' t limit themselves to keeping the pass open , anger that a number of their children had been taken as hostages and a belief that the single under - strength Roman legion was vulnerable to attack . The battle . Several days after going into winter quarters the Romans woke up to find the Gallic half of the town deserted and the slopes above the town covered with a large force of Seduni and Veragri . The Roman fortifications were incomplete and he had only limited supplies . The Romans defended themselves from the fortifications for about six hours . At which time , fearing that they would not be able to keep the enemy out , they sortied . The Roman attack was successful and Caesar states that about one - third of the 30 , 000 tribesmen were killed . Smith mentions that due to the narrowness of the valley , the Gallic army might have been much smaller than Caesar records and that the casualty figures might also be inflated . However , if the battle ended with something of a stampede then the Gauls would probably have taken casualties as high as one - third . The aftermath . Despite the Roman decisive victory , Galba didn ’ t feel strong enough to remain at Octodurus . He was running short of supplies and worried about foraging in the Alps during winter . He may have also feared raids by the scattered fragments of the Gallic army which had retreated into the mountains . After burning the village , Galba marched out of the Alps and spent the rest of the winter in the lands of the Allobroges .

Sultan Battery ( Mangalore ) The Sultan Battery watch tower , constructed in 1784 by Tipu Sultan is situated in Boloor , 4 km from the centre of Mangalore city , the chief port city in the state of Karnataka , India . History . Boloor is known for the watch tower constructed in the era of the emperor Tipu Sultan such that now the area surrounding the squalid structure is its namesake , and buses ply at regular intervals , to and from Sultan Battery , primarily bus no . 16 of the city bus system . The watch tower was constructed 15 years before his death in 1784 A . D . The place was previously known as Sultan ' s Battery , the word Battery meaning firing of canons . It was constructed from stones of 23 churches destroyed by Tipu Sultan , during his 15 - year imprisonment of the Mangalorean Catholics and the other Christians . The place built of black stones was constructed to obstruct war ships from entering the river which was the major route for English invasion but was then retrieved from English by Tipu Sultan . Though the place holds the watch tower , it looks much like a fort with mounting places for cannon . There is an underground storage area under the tower which was used to store gunpowder . This reminds us of the significance the place held as it was the major dockyard and arsenal of the ruler . It was also a naval station and was of great importance to the ruler as he used it to intercept enemy warships and prevent them from docking . If one climbs to the top of the watch tower by stairs , he can get a panoramic view of Arabian Sea which leaves nature lovers in boundless joy . This place is a blend of natural and manmade beauty . It is now a nearly deserted place with a few shacks and a boating club nearby , but is gathering popularity among tourists because of the pervading eternal bliss of nature . Geography . The coastal area of Boloor and the southern adjoining area of Bokkapatna are probably more apt to be termed Mangalorean villages , than Mangalorean suburbs , given the general traditional lifestyle most residents of the areas around still champion , fishing and trading the primary activities , and the streets of Bokkapatna at sunset give the quaint feeling of a dear old village . Boloor overlooks the Gurpura river which snakes further south and joins the Arabian sea by interrupting the 8 km long Bengre headland , primary breakwater of the city of Mangalore . Boloor , primarily Sultan Battery is circuit wise and systematically linked to the rest of the city by bus no . 16 that makes trips to and from at intervals of 15 – 20 minutes .
