1941. June Uprising in Lithuania

The June Uprising (Lithuanian: birželio sukilimas) was a brief period in the history of Lithuania between the first Soviet and National Socialist occupations in June 1941.
Approximately one year earlier, on June 15, 1940, the Red Army invaded Lithuania and the unpopular Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic was soon established. Political repression and terror were used to silence its critics and suppress any resistance.
When Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, a diverse segment of the Lithuanian population rose up against the Soviet regime, declared renewed independence, and formed the short-lived Provisional Government.
On June 23, 1941 at 9:28 am., the national anthem of Lithuania was played on the radio in Kaunas. LAF member Leonas Prapuolenis read independence declaration.
