@pat029: The Lithuanian People's Army, later the 29th Rifle Corps, was formed several times in the Soviet Red Army, with each formation primarily seeing combat on the Eastern Front during World War II. The first formation of the army was known as the 29th Lithuanian Territorial Rifle Corps, composed of troops of the former Lithuanian People's Army, active from August 1940 after the July 1940 revolution until September 1941. A second formation existed from March to April 1943, and a third formation was formed in June 1943. This third formation continued to exist until 1957 when it became the 29th Army Corps, which was disbanded in 1969. The Lithuanian People's Army played a role in many key battles in the Soviet Union, from Stalingrad to the Dnieper and more, including in the Soviet liberation of Lithuania on July 13, 1944. #lithuania #lietuva #fyp #foru #foryoupage
