Summary / Abstract:

ENIn the spring of 1948, the commander of Kęstutis military district Jonas Žemaitis (codename Vytautas) took over unifying initiative from the command of Tauras military district. The project of the highest command of the partisans is inseparable from the closest J. Žemaitis brother-in-arms Petras Bartkus (codename Zadgaila) and foundation of the Prisikėlimas military district on the 15 March 1948. J. Žemaitis got across to the Duktas forest near Šiauliai on July 27. Thanks to the right geographic location, activities of experienced partisans' liaisons he consolidated communication with the Eastern Lithuania's region. Head of the Southern Lithuania's region Adolfas Ramanauskas (codename Vanagas) got documents about the highest command of the partisans on 10 November; he decided tojourney to the Western Lithuania's region. J. Žemaitis saw the highest command of the partisans like in one place existent, three Lithuanian partisans' regions representative unit, whose members, essentially, carry out the work of the government. On 10–12 November 1948, two delegates representing the region of Eastern Lithuania – Jonas Kimštas (codename Žalgiris) and Juozas Sibaila (codename Merainis) arrived to the Duktas forest. The highest command of the partisans was elected of 4 members. Dominykas Steponaitis had become a chairman of the Presidium, but J. Žemaitis temporarily was to this function. On 23 December 1948, two delegates representing the region of Southern Lithuania-A. Ramanauskas and Aleksandras Grybinas (codename Faustas) went to establish communication with the highest command of the partisans. Their trip through Samogitia lasted for 5 weeks with break. In all they went more than 120 kilometres. In the winter of 1949, members of the highest command of the partisans stayed in both Einoraičiai (Šiauliai district) and Dvarninkai (Radvilišks district) villages where the bunkers were established.Heads of the Southern and the Eastern Lithuania journeyed here. Due to the arrest of partisans' liaison Eleonora Grigalavičiūtė (codename Vida) on 10 December 1948, partisans changed plans for the safety. It is an answer to a question, why the Lithuanian Partisans' Commander Meeting still has been considered as unplanned, and representatives of the Southern Lithuania's region were not awaited. On 1 February (or in the night from the 1st to the 2nd) Lithuanian Partisans' Commanders met in Daujočiai (extinct village in Radviliškis district). Soon after that partisans moved 20 kilometres to Pašušvys environs – there were established bunkers of headquarter of the Prisikėlimas unit. [From the publication]
