| Introduction |
|---|
|
In the path of the Lithuanian advance stood the Red Army’s 24th Rifle Corps. Formed from the four divisions of the former Latvian Army, its troops had no willingness to fight for their new masters. The Soviets had tried to increase its reliability by discharging the thousands of Latvians in the early months of 1941 and replacing them with fresh conscripts from the Moscow region. |
| Conclusion |
|---|
|
The Latvians still in the Soviet ranks eagerly threw down their weapons to join the Lithuanians, but enough Russian cadre remained to put up at least the semblance of a fight. Lithuania had made restored independence for Latvia and Estonia one of her war aims before joining Operation Barbarossa, but while the Germans had accepted this claim many in the Smetona government doubted that they would keep their word. |
| Additional Notes |

Not much to this one, particularly since the Russians lost 7 units (3 of them MG!) due to defection at the git go. Ater that it was a slow retreat by the Russians through the woods, but the ponderous numbers of their opponents precluded anything realistic in the way of a decent defense once the woods were cleared. A rout to be sure. (Note - this is only good for demonstrating a decent pursuit.) |
