War Chronicle of the Partisans INTRODUCTION
For the first time in Lithuanian history, we present the War Chronicle of the Partisans in English and Lithuanian. Prepared by Algis Rupainis, this Chronicle is a day-by-day account of Lithuanian's resistance against occupying forces. The Chronicle reflects all partisan warfare throughout Lithuania. A few less meaningful events have been included because the volume of information available from various parts of Lithuania is uneven. If any disparity exists between sources, alternative accounts are shown in brackets [ ]. Abridged versions are also noted in brackets. Names have been revised according to official sources.
Administrative denomination of regions is shown as it appears in contemporary official sources. After each event, abbreviations are provided in full text.
Currently in English are published these parts (of IX) of Chronicle:
Part I (June of 1944 - End of 1944)
Part II (January of 1945 - June of 1945)
Part III (July of 1945 - End of 1945)
Part IV (January of 1946 - August of 1946)
Part V (September of 1946 - March of 1947)
Part VI (April of 1947 - March of 1948)

"We were forced to go out and defend our country, our farms, the very land splashed with the blood of our forefathers. Human dignity obligated us to resist the trampling of our human rights, to resist servitude. We cannot accept the lies, the deceit, the perversion of truth and other evils harmful to our nation. Our efforts are praiseworthy. We have truth on our side and are justified in the eyes of the civilized world. The Almighty will bless and support our struggle."
