'''Juozas Lukša''' (10 August 1921 – 4 September 1951), also known among other [[pseudonym]]s as '''Daumantas''' and '''Skirmantas''', was a leader of the [[Anti-Soviet partisans|anti-Soviet]] [[Lithuanian partisans|Lithuanian partisan]] armed resistance movement.


==Life==
During the first occupation by the [[Soviet Union]] in 1940–41, Lukša was a member of the [[Lithuanian Activist Front]]. Opposing the Soviets, he was caught and imprisoned in [[Kaunas]]. After the war started in the [[Eastern Front (World War II)|Eastern Front]] and [[Nazi Germany]] invaded Lithuania, Lukša was released.

From 1944, after the return of the [[Red Army]], he engaged in the underground movement. At first he participated as a student, helping out with clandestine matters and unarmed resistance in Kaunas. In 1946, after the arrests of many activists, he left the city and joined [[Lithuanian partisans|the armed resistance]]. Within a year he commanded Birutė brigade of Tauras district that was active in Kaunas area.
Lukša was born on 10 August 1921 to a family of farmers in the village of Juodbūdis, near [[Kaunas]]. He attended {{ill|Kaunas "Aušros" high school|lt|Kauno Aušros gimnazija}}, where he joined the catholic youth organization [[Ateitis]] and the far-right, [[anti-semitic]] and anti-Soviet [[Lithuanian Activist Front]] (LAF). He graduated high school in 1940 and began studying architecture at Vytautas Magnus University.<ref>{{cite web|title=Keturi sūnūs išėjo į mišką…|first=Eglė|last=Merkytė|url=https://alkas.lt/2012/09/27/e-merkyte-keturi-sunus-isejo-i-miska/|website=aklas.lt|date=27 September 2012 |access-date=4 July 2022|lang=lt}}</ref>


Due to being a member of the LAF, Lukša was imprisoned by the [[NKVD]] in Kaunas during the 1940–41 [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] [[Soviet occupation of the Baltic states (1940)|occupation of the Baltic states]]. He was released by the [[Wehrmacht]] following the [[German occupation of Lithuania during World War II|invasion of Lithuania by Nazi Germany]], and went on to continue his architecture studies.
At the end of 1947, he escaped through the [[Iron Curtain]] as a messenger to the West in hopes to attract support for the fighters and to establish contacts with Lithuanians in exile. He first came to Sweden. Later he was engaged by the French intelligence and thereafter transferred to [[CIA]], where he received training as an intelligence agent in [[West Germany]]. While in Paris he met Nijolė Bražėnaitė, fell in love and got married. During the stay in the western countries, he wrote a book ''Fighters for Freedom'' about the actual situation in the Soviet Union. He was parachuted back to Lithuania in 1950. For a year he was intensively searched for by the Soviet counterintelligence. Finally he was betrayed by fellow fighter Jonas Kukauskas and killed in fall 1951.

At the end of 1947, along with fellow partisans Jurgis Krikščiūnas-Rimvydas and Kazimieras Pyplys-Mažytis, Lukša crossed through the [[Iron Curtain]] with the goal of attracting support for the fighters and establishing contacts with Lithuanians in exile. They carried information collected by partisans about Soviet repressions, killings and deportations, and a letter asking for support from [[Pope Pius XII]]. He arrived in [[Sweden]] and moved from there to [[France]] and [[West Germany]], where he was trained by French intelligence agents and the [[CIA]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Activities of Lithuanian Partisans in the West|newspaper=Lithuanian Military Digest|publisher=Lithuanian Armed Forces|url=https://kariuomene.lt/data/public/uploads/2021/03/2019-lmd_nr.5_geguze_internetui.pdf|accessdate=3 July 2022}}</ref> While in Paris, he met doctor {{ill|Nijolė Virginija Bražėnaitė|lt}}, whom he married on 23 July 1950.

Life

[edit]
Memorial cross in the place where Juozas Lukša died

Lukša was born on 10 August 1921 to a family of farmers in the village of Juodbūdis, near Kaunas. He attended Kaunas "Aušros" high school [lt], where he joined the catholic youth organization Ateitis and the far-right, anti-semitic and anti-Soviet Lithuanian Activist Front (LAF). He graduated high school in 1940 and began studying architecture at Vytautas Magnus University.[1]

Due to being a member of the LAF, Lukša was imprisoned by the NKVD in Kaunas during the 1940–41 Soviet occupation of the Baltic states. He was released by the Wehrmacht following the invasion of Lithuania by Nazi Germany, and went on to continue his architecture studies.

After the return of the Red Army in 1944, Lukša engaged in the underground movement. At first he participated as a student, helping out with clandestine matters and unarmed resistance in Kaunas. In 1946, after the arrests of many activists, he left the city and joined the armed resistance. Within a year he commanded the Birutė brigade of the Tauras military district.[2]

At the end of 1947, along with fellow partisans Jurgis Krikščiūnas-Rimvydas and Kazimieras Pyplys-Mažytis, Lukša crossed through the Iron Curtain with the goal of attracting support for the fighters and establishing contacts with Lithuanians in exile. They carried information collected by partisans about Soviet repressions, killings and deportations, and a letter asking for support from Pope Pius XII. He arrived in Sweden and moved from there to France and West Germany, where he was trained by French intelligence agents and the CIA.[3] While in Paris, he met doctor Nijolė Virginija Bražėnaitė [lt], whom he married on 23 July 1950.

During his stay in the West, Lukša wrote Fighters for Freedom (Lithuanian: Partizanai už geležinės uždangos), a firsthand account of partisan activities in 1944–47.[4][5] He was parachuted back into Lithuania by the CIA sometime between 1949 and 1950.[6] That year, he was granted the honorary title of "Hero of the Lithuanian Freedom Fighters" (Laisvės kovos karžygio garbės vardas) and awarded with the Cross of the Freedom Struggle (1st class) by the Union of Lithuanian Freedom Fighters. In 1951 he was granted a rank of "Major of Partisans" (Partizanų majoro laipsnis).

Lukša was intensively searched for by the Soviet counterintelligence, before being killed near Pabartupis by the MGB in the fall of 1951.[7]

Legacy

[edit]

In 1997 Juozas Lukša was posthumously awarded the Order of the Cross of Vytis (first class).

In 2003, director Jonas Vaitkus released a movie based on Lukša's life entitled Utterly Alone. In 2014, co-directors Jonas Ohman and Vincas Sruoginis released a documentary entitled The Invisible Front on Lukša and his fellow "Forest Brothers".[8]

In June 2020, the Lithuanian parliament's Committee on Education and Science submitted a proposal to designate 2021 as the "Year of Juozas Lukša-Daumantas."[9][10]

The Central European University Press published a fresh English translation of Lukša's book in 2009 under the title Forest Brothers: The Account of an Anti-Soviet Lithuanian Freedom Fighter, 1944-1948, ISBN 978-9639776371.

Alleged participation in the Kaunas pogrom

[edit]
Main article: Kaunas pogrom

Controversy exists regarding Lukša's role during the Nazi occupation of Lithuania. According to multiple witnesses, Lukša was a participant in the 1941 Lietukis garage massacres in Kaunas, and allegedly took part in the murder and decapitation of Rabbi Zalman Osovsky.[11][12][13][14][15][16][9] The Lithuanian government denies these claims.[15][17][18]
