I'm so glad Walter has shared this little piece of Lithuanian history with us! I was born in an already independent Lithuania (actually, two months after the January 13th events) and it's always interesting to hear personal accounts of the first independence decade. Thank you, Walter, and thank you, Lithuania Explained!
This is incredible, thanks for your work, especially on our military episodes, and a huge thanks for Mjr Leitmeyer for participating in all the help that was needed for preparing Lithuanian military to meet the NATO standards and obviously- for sharing his memories on this channel!
On behalf of Lithuanians, Walter, thank you for your service. I'm still amazed at the huge impact just a few people in the Liaison Team made. Thank you! And as always, Lithuania Explained, your videos keep getting better and better!
It's rather impressive that my country's military went from a ragtag army of conscripts and patriotic volunteers to preparing for a large scale war using combined arms and even Civil resistance units.
A question if you will: I would love to see the 'uncut' versions of your interviews, maybe a 2nd channel just for that? Might be that I am in the minority here, if you see some merit in this idea you could do a channel poll or something. Either way, amazing video!
I assume you aren't Lithuanian, but it's so cool that someone made a video about this. Likely because people follow post-modernist PR laws, but the early reconstruction days aren't even talked about much. Don't want to scare away the NATO partners with pictures of beaten up AKs and old BTRs, you know.
I have been civilian now since 2001 but from old colleagues (Royal Danish Army) who have been on missions with Lithuanians they are professional - and fine guys. 👍

You want a decent army, build a strong core of NCOs

NATO
It was not easy, but it was a lot easier than for other nations, like Ukraine. I guess having no soviet equipment left was a blessing.
The Lithuanian military doesnt have marines.
Lithuania's Navy has a unit of marines focused on coastal defence and warfare.

@@LaurynasJ1Sop?
@@tadasvidugiris4685 nope. The SOF element has a SEAL counterpart unit. Marines as he understands it, are conventional forces.
