Hi everyone, as a few of you know, my great grandfather served in the Waffen-SS and was later killed in Yugoslavia in 1944 while serving with the 21. SS Skanderbeg Division. After the war, his widowed wife married a Lithuanian man who she met. According to my Oma he served in the German Army during ww2 but this seemed a bit strange to me. I am only familiar with Lithuanians serving as auxiliaries for the Einsatzgruppen. So this begs the question, did Lithuanians ever serve in the Wehrmacht and if they only served in the auxiliary function, who did they mainly help out?
P.S. I know he was a major alcoholic after the war, up until he died. So maybe if he did assist the Einsatzgruppen this might explain the alcoholism.
Thanks again for any help,
Will C
