The flag sheet in OLC GUI lists the nations which were enemies of Germany during (any part of) the war. If Lithuania didn't fight Germany, then their flag does not need adding to the chart.
Perhaps you can clarify for me whether or not this is the case?

My pleasure.
Lithuania as Latvia and Estonia, was occupied by Soviet Union in 1940 July. When war broke out between Germany and Russia in 1941, Baltic states bacame land of Germany until 1944 when Soviets came back.
Basically when under an occupation how can u choose the sides anyway, there were partisans of course like in others occupied countries.
Lets say Baltic states were Axis and Allies in different time of the war, but it doesn't mean they where not involved at all in WW2.
I woun't pretend I know history better then Wikipedia does, so I will just paste some links that you might find interesting.

Navy was poor in that time, not much u could expect from such small country, but still, we had 1 warship to be proud of
