Talk:Provisional Government of Lithuania

message: How long was the "underground government" underground? If it was a substantial period of time, like since 1940, maybe it should stay separate? Are they really the same thing? Btw, if merging, please keep the redirect and the page history. heqs 10:38, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It was secretely formed on 22 April, 1941, publicly announced on 23 June, 1941, and dissolved on 5 August, 1941. It is the same thing, I don't think we need two articles on an organization that only lived less than 4 months, especially that it was inactive while in underground. Sigitas 11:06, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The LAF was formed in 1940 though, and that article says the underground government was formed in March (?) heqs 12:02, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  LAF is not the same as Laikinoji vyriausybe (Provisional Government) and rightly has its own wikipedia article. As for LAF forming underground government in March, it is incorrect - article  Lietuvos laikinosios vyriausybės atsiradimo aplinkybės referenced at the end of LAF article clearly says "1941 m. balandžio 22 d., Kaune Vilniaus ir Kauno centro atstovai suformavo Lietuvos laikinąją vyriausybę, t.y. sudarė jos narių sąrašą."  ("On 22 April, 1941. in Kaunas representatives of Vilnius and Kaunas branches (of LAF) formed Lithuanian provisional government, i.e. established list of it members").   Thus statement on forming government in March is incorrect and not found in referenced sources. Sigitas 12:20, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

text:  I already fixed date of forming government by LAF providing reference. Sigitas 12:31, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the government not secret to the Germans? AFAIR it was formed of a group that was originally formed in Berlin under the auspices of the Abwehr, so it was not that clandestine... //Halibutt 15:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Not at all. Germans did not want indepentend Lithuania, therefore SD and Gestapo shared their information on Lithuanian underground with NKVD, and some underground members were arrested by NKVD for this reason. Germans did not know about formation of this government, otherwise members of cabinet would be quickly arrested. Halibutt, you probably talk about another provisional government, which K.Škirpa, not trusting abilities of resistance in Lithuania, laid out on paper and this government included only people residing in Germany. Germans did not know about alternative provisional government either. This alternative government never acted in reality. same source: * 1941 m.

message: Can this government be described as Nazi collaborators? Was it ever accused of that? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  18:02, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, they welcomed the Europe organisation on the new bases, "national and social" (23 June 1941)... and were based in Germany and helped Wehrmacht. Of course, official Lithuanan propaganda TODAY portrays them as innocent liberty fighters who were not nazi supporters. Not everyone in the world agrees to this. 95.55.125.89 (talk) 09:13, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
