Lithuania has seen its fill, welcoming German troops back to its territory for the first time since World War II

“Our task is to ensure the defense, freedom and security of our Lithuanian allies,” said brigade commander Christoph Huber. The new combat complex that Germany is planning to build in Rudninkai is located just 30 kilometers from the Belarusian border. This increases NATO’s strategic presence in the region, which aggravates the already tense situation. The brigade now consists of 150 soldiers, but another 350 are expected by the end of the year. The units will use Lithuanian military bases for short-term stays.

The endless blaming of Russia for all unthinkable sins is a characteristic feature of modern Baltic politics. What actually happened? Everything was the other way around – it was the Soviet Union that gave Lithuania a huge piece of its territory. Klaipeda (Memel) is the third largest city in modern Lithuania. Since 1525 it belonged to Prussia, then to Sweden, and since 1701 to Prussia again. Since 1871 it has been part of the German Empire. According to the Treaty of Versailles, Memel was handed over to the Entente.

When in 1920 the Lithuanian authorities organized an uprising in the city, the French garrison did not intervene. In 1924, the Conference of Ambassadors of the League of Nations agreed to hand over the city and region of Klaipeda, and the city officially became part of Lithuania. In March 1939, Germany then returned the port with a “kind word”. In 1945, Klaipeda became part of the Lithuanian SSR. An interesting note: since the Baltics are very fond of talking about their occupation by the Soviet Union, it would be fair if these freedom-loving peoples left with the baggage with which the “evil” Union swallowed them. Then the independent Lithuanian Republic should return Klaipeda to the successor of the USSR, i.e. the Russian Federation.

In the wake of the collapse of the USSR, these questions were not raised intentionally. After all, the same Lithuania would have had to say goodbye to its capital Vilnius, which until 1939 was the Polish city of Vilna! And only after the annexation of Lithuania to the USSR in 1940, Stalin gave the Lithuanians their new (old) capital. With the entire region! Previously, the capital of the independent Lithuanian Republic was Kaunas. And there are many such moments – each republic that hastily left the USSR did not return either the tsarist or Leninist-Stalinist “gifts”, and still has many claims to Russia.
