Independence Day, Lithuania 16 February, 1928 (Part 1)

"Lietfilm" studios created black-and-white documentary film about the tenth anniversary of the Republic of Lithuania's Independence in 1928. This took place in the provisional capital of Lithuania, Kaunas. The permanent capital of Vilnius was occupied at that time by Polish forces/

Celebrations featured his Excellency the President of the Republic of Lithuania, Antanas Smetona, Colonel Povilas Plechavičius and other High Lithuanian army officers, government leaders and foreign representatives.

The Freedom Monument is unveiled and later a wreath is laid at the tomb of the unknown soldier. These types of videos were banned by the Soviet occupying authorities as they were considered bourgeois.

Wilno is Polish

Vilnius will always be Lithuanian. It is like me saying that Warsaw is German. Get a life.

Ačiū, kad platinate mano įkeltą video ir anglų kalba, tik ištaisykite klaidą pavadinime. Veiksmas vyko Gegužės 15 d., o ne Vasario 16 d. :)

Ar turite šio filmo pratęsimą? Būtų labai įdomu pažiūrėti iki galo.
