Neatpažinti kariai. Kovos karininko istorija.
Moreso mūšis – tai paskutinio Antrojo pasaulinio karo etapo epizodas, turėjęs didelę reikšmę tolesnėje karo Latvijos teritorijoje eigoje. Morės mūšis – tai karo veiksmai, vykę 1944 m. rugsėjo 25–spalio 5 dienomis Siguldos gynybos linijoje More valsčiaus teritorijoje. Siguldos gynybinės linijos apkasuose, apie 12 km ilgio, Latvijos legiono 19-osios divizijos kariai, 10 dienų kovoję sunkias kovas su 10–15 kartų didesniu priešo pranašumu, sustabdė Raudonosios / Sovietų armijos dalinių veržimąsi Rygos link.
"2001 m. liepą Morėje su palyda lankėsi Bundesvero majoras. Daugiausia domėtasi Antrojo pasaulinio karo taktikos klausimais. Remiantis karo istorijos duomenimis, žinoma, kad More 19-oji latvių grenadierių divizija buvo užpulta vienos žinomiausių Rusijos divizijų, kuriai vadovavo generolas Šatilovas. Šios divizijos kariai buvo labai gerai apmokyti ir panaudoti vokiečių puolimą. Vokiečių susidomėjimas Pagrindinis klausimas buvo kovos taktika. Jiems tai nebuvo jokia naujiena, į Morę atvyko ir Antrojo pasaulinio karo dalyviai – generolo Šteinerio tankų korpuso vyrai iš tankų divizijos „Wiking“, iš tankų grenadierių divizijos „Gotz von Berlichingen“ ir kt. O taktikos klausimais visada buvo įdomu“.

Mores Battle Memorial Park
The park was created in the former battle place in the Centre of More Parish where during the first two weeks of 1944 in the Second World War, major battles were held, holding thestrategically created defence line and preventing the Red Army from breaking through to Riga, thus affecting the further course of history.
You can see fragments of wartime relics and bunker sites here. A commemorative stone created by the sculptor H. Sprincis, as well as a Memorial Plaque with 186 soldiers names carved into the granite, are located in the Battles of More Memorial Park.
Red Army Brethren Cemetery in More
The Red Army Military Cemetery is located on the side of the main road through More. It is the final resting place for approximately 2000 soldiers who were killed during the Battle of More. In 1974 the cemetery was landscaped and a monument by sculptor B. Grīsle was unveiled.
Museum of Battles in More
The museum is located in More, on the side of the V319 motorway. It is dedicated to the Battles of More between the Red Army and the Latvian Legion of the German Army in the autumn of 1944. The exhibit includes a mock-up of the battlefield, weapons, awards, soldiers’ uniforms and military equipment. The Battles of More Museum and Memorial Park was established by former soldiers of the Latvian Legion who participated in the Battles of More. The memorial park features trenches, dugouts and battlefields. The battles in the More area were only part of a large-scale operation of the Red Army Baltic Offensive involving a total of 900,000 soldiers and large numbers of military equipment units. A part of the German Army fortification system where Latvian legionnaires prevented the Red Army’s attempt to break out to Riga was located in the vicinity of More. This allowed the German Army to withdraw its forces from Estonia and avoid defeat. Red Army leaders expected the enemy’s resistance near More to be short-lived and stubbornly continued its unprepared and uncoordinated attacks, suffering heavy losses. Local advantages and the combat capabilities of the Latvian legionnaires played a significant role in the subsequent course of the war. More is home to the Latvian Legionnaires’ Brothers’ Cemetery and a Red Army Soldiers’ Cemetery.
