Hello everybody, I have been interested in history my whole life, but since being in a relationship with a Lithuanian girl from 2013 till nowadays I have been searching more and more about the history of her country. Now I am starting with a Wargame call Bolt Action, which is basically WW2 Battles with miniatures 28 mm scale, and I am considering the option of a Lithuanian army; the problem is that I have found tons of information about Lithuanian armored vehicles and weapons till the Soviet ocupation, and just few lines about Lithuanian units under the German domain.
So the question is: Does anybody know something about this stuff? I mean, if for example some Landsverks Armoured cars were used in the Vilnius or Kaunas offensives or if some Anbo planes were guarding Lithuanian sky?
Thanks

Re: Lithuanian Equipment during 1944
Hello Castro, as far as I know, the Lithuanian units under German control composed mostly of infantry and police forces, which means no armored vehicles were systematically used. Some Lithuanians served in Luftwaffe flak units and could have operated AA guns and search lights, but no organized Lithuanian aviation units seemed to have been formed by Germans, unlike Latvians and Estonians.

It is a pitty, as I thought no possibility of using Landsverks and that stuff. But it still interesting to gather information about military stuff in that agebertamingo wrote:Hello Castro, as far as I know, the Lithuanian units under German control composed mostly of infantry and police forces, which means no armored vehicles were systematically used.

Maybe I could model a Flak 36 with some Lithuanian troops helping German Gunners.
