Source text - English Estonia has been occupied many times over past 700 years by Denmark, Poland, Germany, Sweden and Russia.
Because of its location, Estonia is strategically important and the legacy of warfare is widely present.
As a nation, Estonians are very interested in history and therefore knowledge about military history, old military bases, etc. is very good in general. Military history tourism is increasingly popular among the locals.

Military Museums in Estonia:
• War History Museum in Tallinn is the best place to start, as it gives a comprehensive overview.
• Museum of Occupations in Tallinn reflects developments in Estonia from 1940 to 1991, when Estonia was alternately occupied by the Germany and Soviet Union. Army, prison and interrogations memorabilia is on display.
• Vaivara Sinimägede Museum in East Estonia The Battle of Tannenberg Line was the bloodiest battle ever fought on Estonian soil. The campaign spanned combat in the area of the Sinimäed Hills in 1944 while the German force of more than 22,000 men held off a Soviet advance of almost 150,000 men. As the Soviet forces were constantly reinforced, the casualties of the battle were huge and dead and hundreds of tanks lost.
• Tahkuna Military Museum on Hiiumaa Island contains World War II memorabilia and is considered by some as the most impressive in Estonia.
• Independence War Museum in Lagedi, near Tallinn is about Estonia’s War of independence 1918-1920.
• Naissaar Museum in Naissaare Island near Tallinn displays Soviet border guard equipment and propaganda publications.

Translation - Estonian Viimase 700 aasta jooksul on Eestit okupeerinud Taani, Poola, Saksamaa, Rootsi ja Venemaa.
Enda asukoha tõttu on Eesti strateegiliselt oluline ning sõjategevusest jäänud pärand on laialt levinud.
Rahvusena, on eestlased väga huvitatud ajaloost ning teadmised sõjanduse ajaloost, vanadest armeebaasidest jne on üldiselt üsna heal tasemel. Sõjaajalooga seotud turism kogub populaarsust ka kohalike seas.

• Vaivara Sinimägede muuseum meenutab Ida-Eestis toimunud, Eesti ajaloo veriseimat, Tannenbergi lahingut. Lahingu käigus toimus võitlus Sinimägede territooriumil aastal 1944 kui 22 000 Saksa sõdurit hoidsid ära ligi 150 000 nõukogude sõduri edasiliikumise. Kuna nõukogude väed said pidevaid lisajõude olid kaotused suured nii inimeste kui tankide osas.
• Tahkuna Sõjamuuseub Hiiumaal näitab II maailmasõja mälestusesemeid ning teda peetakse mõningate poolt Eesti muljetavaldaivamaks.
• Iseseisvussõja muuseum Tallinna lähistel asuval Lagedil käsitleb Eesti Iseseisvussõda aastatel 1918 – 1920.
