In front of a memorial dedicated to the 1941 February Strike (Februaristaking). This was a general strike in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands during World War II. It was organized by the outlawed Communist Party of the Netherlands in defence of persecuted Dutch Jews and against the anti-Jewish measures and the activities of Nazism in general. It occurred on 25 and 26 February 1941.

This Saturday more about a battle that took place here in 1944... 

The Vingis Park Military Cemetery (Vilnius, Lithuania). This German war cemetery is located at the eastern side of the Vingio-park. It started in the First World War and 2200 soldiers were buried here. Of these, 1,300 were German. In de Second World War, the cemetery was expanded for the burial of about 2,000 soldiers between 1941 and 1944. The central remembrance-place contains 2,337 names of German soldiers who died in Vilnius in the Second World War. There are graves of Poles and Russians too. 

During and after World War II a guerrilla war in the Baltic states was waged by Baltic (Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian) partisans against the Soviet Union from 1944 to 1956. Known alternatively as the "Forest Brothers", these people fought against the Red Army. Similar insurgent groups existed in Soviet occupied Bulgaria, Poland, Romania and Ukraine. Eventually they were all defeated by Soviet forces.
