...Unlike her Estonian and Latvian neighbors though, Lithuania never provided Germany with a National Legion during WWII, although from the very start of the German occupation quite a few volunteers came forward. It is estimated that as many as 50,000 eventually served in German sponsered units during 1941-45....
...Lithuanians were for the most part formed into auxiliary support units for security operations. The first formal unit to be formed was known as the Lituanische Hunterschaften which was later used as a foundation for a series of self defense units known as Selbschutz-Bataillonen. The Selbschutz-Bataillonen units were later brought under the control of the German organization of uniformed frontline police, the Ordungspolizie, and renamed as Schutzmannschaft-Bataillonen or Schumas. The Schuma units were universally renamed and reformed into Polizie-Bataillonen in May of 1943. Nearly all units were formed in battalion-sized units consisting of between 500 and 600 men each. They were primarily assigned to rear-area security duties, but as the Soviets drew nearer to Lithuania, they also saw service fighting the Soviets directly. These Lithuanian units numbered a total of 35 Battalions during WWII, consisting of units numbered 1-15, 251-257, 263-265, and 301-310. 13 of these units, numbers 263-265 and 301-310, were never fully trained and were disbanded before they could be employed in combat...
...Aside from the above mentioned 38 units, there were also five Lituanische Bau-Bataillonen numbered I-V that were formed during 1943. All five units were attached to German Pioneer units under the control of Armeegruppe Nord. The commanding officers were all Lithuanian. The operations of these units consisted largely of road and railway construction and the building of defensive works. Initially, the units were not armed, but as partisan activity became increasingly heavier they were provided various light weapons to protect and fight against the partisan forces. Interestingly, many members of the Lithuanian construction units were asked to join the Waffen-SS, of which up to 40% eventually did, although no Lithuanian national unit was ever formed under the Waffen-SS, and all volunteers served on an individual basis....

...There were also various other smaller kompanie-sized units formed of Lithuanian volunteers and conscripts, and individually Lithuanians volunteered for service in various other German units, but these were mainly Lithuanian Volksdeutsche and their histories, due to the individual nature of their service, are impossible to record....
...On February 16th, 1944, an appeal went out for volunteers, and over 19,000 came forward! The Germans originally were seeking only 5,000 volunteers, so the response they received was tremendous...
...side from the already mentioned units and formations, there is also evidence that there existed a Lithuanian NSKK unit formed towards the end of WWII, and there were also 1,012 young Lithuanian boys and girls drafted into the service of the Luftwaffe as Flak, signal, transport and searchlight helpers in the last months of the war....

...there never was an equivalent ‘Nazi Poland’. There were no Polish Nazis. There was no Polish branch of the Nazi Party. In 1939-45, there were no Polish armed forces under German command, and, unlike almost every other German-occupied country, no Polish volunteer divisions in the Waffen SS. Despite what one often hears, there were no ‘Polish concentration camps’, and there was no collaborationist government, as in Vichy France or in Norway...

) to jedynymi cywilami zabijanimy przez jednostki polskich partyzantów byli Ukraińcy, w ramach odwetu za mordowanie przez nich (po agresji na Niemiec na ZSRR) naszych cywili na Wołyniu i na Galicji Wschodniej. O litwie to raczej nic nie słyszałem, może miał na myśli przyłączenie Wilna do Polski. "...Polacy uważają Litwinów za barbarzyńców..", mam wrażenie że ktoś tam na litwie za dużo wpaja młodym ludziom nieprawdy.
