The monument depicts a soldier in the uniform of the Estonian Legion of the German Waffen SS in German uniform holding a gun on his chest. The tablet on the monument reads: "To Estonian men who fought in 1940-1945 against Bolshevism and for the restoration of Estonian independence.” The memorial was originally erected in Pärnu, from where it was moved to Lihula cemetery due to social controversy. It was taken down by the government without waiting for the results of the expertise. It is currently located in the Museum of Fight for Estonia's Freedom in Lagedi.
