Lithuanian Forest Brothers – Cosmos Tour
By stan. Filed in Cosmos Jewels of the Baltic Tour, Uncategorized |
When the Soviets took over the Baltic States after WWII, the Lithuanian underground went overground into the forests (50% of the country is forest). They were waiting for help from the West, but none came. Eventually the KGB infiltrated the ranks, and by 1955 none were left.
The last one to turn out the lights managed to hide out until 1973, but had to commit suicide before the KGB captured him.
