I’m not sure about the Estonians but I know there were Lithuanians who preferred Nazi occupation over Soviet occupation.

All three Baltic countries were independent nations after World War I until the Soviets occupied them in 1940. The Germans drove the Soviets out in 1941 and later the Soviets drove the Germans out. I can see why Estonians might not see the Red Army as liberators, whatever they thought of the Germans.
The Red Army was a short distance from Warsaw when the Poles rose up against the Germans in 1944. The Red Army sat there and did nothing to help--Stalin wanted as much of the Polish anti-Communist leadership destroyed as possible. I think there was a period of several months in 1944-45 where the Soviets did not advance against the Germans on that front at all (although they were active in the Balkans during that time).

There’s about 206,000 Lithuanians who did not prefer Nazis.
But they are don’t get to talk much.

Lithuanians, Latvians and Estonians were willing participants in The Holocaust. Thousands of them served in the Waffen SS.

I know a lady who was born in Lithuania. When the war broke out her parents faced a choice. Do we want to raise these children under Hitler or Stalin?
They chose Hitler. They moved to Germany and became guest workers in a munitions plant. At least until the RAF bombed their house into rubble. They ended up in a refugee camp, and eventually, here.
