- Abstract
When the Soviet Union occupied Lithuania in June 1940, the latter's independent armed forces, created in the course of more than twenty years, were liquidated without having been given the opportunity to fulfill their duty. On the other hand, the chaos caused by World War Two rightly allowed the expectation that after this conflict had ended it would be possible again to raise the question of independent Lithuanian statehood. Those Lithuanian military leaders and political activists who had escaped to the West envisaged various scenarios of taking advantage of the existing situation. One of them was the re-creation of the Lithuanian army or of separate national units. A situation favorable to the entertaining of such ideas had arisen in the United States of America.
