I hope Americans' "fight against Communism" doesn't take the same form as the Lithuanians' fight. Those uniforms look suspiciously German for a good reason.

That said, it's hard to blame the Lithuanians, or any other Eastern Europeans too much for what happened in those dark days. They were faced with one of the worst choices of all time - Bolshevism or Nazism/Hitler or Stalin. Compared to that choice, us Yanks should be thankful that we had Obama vs. McCain.

Although I never took interest in the Lithuanians this seems like an interesting topic

Poor Lithuania, always having to fight against the majority.

I'm not saying it was/wasn't the case with Lith., but there is nothing wrong
with opposing the majority when you believe the majority are wrong.

Rocks and hard places indeed.
Beware the enemy of your enemy.

A very good movie about the plight of Eastern Europeans during WWII (with a bit of Judaism thrown in for good measure): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_Europa

Yeah yeah security battalions killing jews.
But hey jews were responsibe for communism as well as capitalism in the 1000 year Reich so they must have been really really bad and warrented extermination.
Oh sorry you meant all the Lithuanin batalions that were not put in "police" units together with the Einsatzgruppen.
Sorry fella , how many battalions were not put in "police" units?
BTW it was 35 battalions not 25
