Talk:Resistance in Lithuania during World War II

message: Corrections: 1) Soviets occupied Lithuania in 1940, not in 1939. 2) I would say that Forest Brothers activities started in 1944 when front was closing. I don't know nothing about existance of Forest Brothers during first soviet occupation, and I don't know any operations of Lithuanian non-soviet partisans against Germans.

replies: text: I will remove it until I re-check my sources. Some sources like this have Estonian and Latvian Forest Brothers in 1941 but refer to all Lithuanian partisans as being under LAF. heqs 16:11, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  As far as I know first military action against soviets was June uprising in 1941, after Germany attacked USSR. Sigitas 16:21, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

message: What about Police Battalions which were fighting Soviet partisans and AK in territory of Lithuania? I'm not sure if these should be included in article. These units were subordinate to german police but consisted mostly of volunteers. Sigitas 15:59, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If they didn't resist the occupying power, they weren't a resistance. heqs 16:21, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  You are probably right. Merriam Webster defines resistance as "an underground organization of a conquered or nearly conquered country engaging in sabotage and secret operations against occupation forces and collaborators". Sigitas 16:32, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Perhaps we should add a disclaimer to this item, about the controversy around these events. I confess I do not know very much about it yet. "These events are controversial due to their alleged connection with pogroms that were committed against Lithuanian Jews during this period." Would that cover it, or is it proven fact? heqs 08:26, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it is proven, pogroms indeed happened. See Algirdas Klimaitis. Some insurgents were involved in pogroms. Pogroms, however, started on the night of June 25-26, i.e. after the end of fights with Soviet troops, so technically it was not part of uprising. LAF was not involved.

replies: text: I knew that there were pogroms, didn't know any details of Klimaitis' unit. It seems that to some LAF is guilty by association. heqs 08:34, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Guilty by association? Why would you say that? Sigitas 09:51, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm just saying what I have read somewhere. It doesn't matter.  heqs 09:57, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Should it be Resistance in Lithuania during World War II? heqs 12:49, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed "Resistance in Lithuania during World War II" would be better, as some of anti-Nazi resistans could not be called Lithuanians, such as soviet diversants sent from Russia for example. Armia Krajowa could also be icluded in article. Sigitas 13:40, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
