Propaganda text on the back of the picture for National Socialist report: "Lithuanian military establishes order in Vilnius. The capital of Lithuania, Vilnius, was cleared by the Soviets that fast, that it remained almost completely undamaged. Traffic flows as usual. Former Lithuanian military establishes order. Two soldiers on the square in front of the cathedral of Vilnius."
Motive from the Eastern front / Lithuania from the 28th of July in 1941.
The German attack of the Soviet Union was going under the alias "Operation Barbarossa" and started on the 22nd of June in 1941.
Whereas German troops were at first welcomed by the population, hatred developed later and off-loaded in a brutal guerilla war.
