Lithuanian unit[edit]

This is so pathetic to see Lithuanian editors attempting to admit that Ypatingasis būrys was a Lithuanian volunteer unit. Maybe it was Polish ? because there was a Polish person among the Lithuanians. Or maybe German, because it was sponsored by the Nazis ? But no, certainly not Lithuanian. The attempt to sacrifice the objectivity of the article only to whitewash Lithuanian history is so transparent here. --Lysy^talk 14:23, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Even when this article is corrected in the future, it's history and this talk page will be an interesting testimonial to certain types of revisionism. I find the entire phenomena of Lithuanian revisionism quite fascinating; perhaps it deserves an article? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 18:43, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

w Ponarach[edit]

Not about this unit. It is apparently apparently a blog post about a group excursion to the Ponary site. It may have been for the ceremony described, I can't quite tell from the translation, but in any event it enumerates the attendees and mentions the Ypatingasis būrys only once, to say that they were or worked with the Sonderkommando: The site of a mass genocidal crime is a forest with pits in which and over which the SS auxiliary unit "Sonderkommando" carried out shootings, often preceded by cruel treatment. In the "Sonderkommando" they served primarily the so-called Shaulis, members of an extremely nationalistic paramilitary organization - the Association of Lithuanian Riflemen, founded in 1919. Only some of them were held responsible. In Poland, four members of the "Sonderkommando" were convicted in the 1970s and fled to Poland at the end of the war. In other works, a terrible source to begin with and pretty unclear to boot. I just added a source from the Oxford University Press to support that former members of the Riflemen were at Ponary, so we aren't losing any information by removing this.
