Jusalak -> Partisans in the former Baltic states (9/21/2014 8:33:40 PM)
|
As it is well known, the three Baltic states - Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania - had to cede bases to Soviet Union in autumn 1939, and were annexed by Soviet union in summer 1940, a year before the Barbarossa.
This annexation was most definitely against the will of the peoples of these countries, and support of communism was not widespread.
Since the local population did not want any Russian of Communist regime, appearance of Soviet partisans in the Baltic area in Gary Grigsby's War in the East seems clearly incorrect. Historically, actually the opposite is true. The Baltic gerillas fought against the retreating Soviets in summer 1941, and the guerilla warfare continued even after the reestablishment of the Soviet rule in 1944.
I feel that in the game this should be corrected by making the Baltic area free of any Soviet partisans.
