| Abstract [eng] |
The article compares historical literature that conveys the Soviet story of 'liberation' of Memel/KIaipėda during World War II, and compares them with post-war German publications dealing with the issue of seizure of Klaipėda that emerged in the post-war period. On the basis of this comparison, verification is sought of the story of' liberation', highlighting its major factual and interpretational problems. The analysis corrects some episodes of the story of Klaipeda's seizure, thoroughly covering the course of World War II events in the approach of the Eastern Front toward Klaipėda during the period from October 1944 till the end of January 1945. |
