Discussion:Armia Krajowa

Relations lituano-polonaise :

Il est un article sur wikipedia en anglais "Polish-lithuanian relation during WW II". Comme toujours, sur les sujets polémiques les discussions sur l'article méritent le détour.

Voici ce qu'il dit sur le même sujet, le mieux étant de lire tout l'article et bien sûr les discussions (qui montrent que le sujet est plutôt polémique) :

In May 1944, Aleksander Krzyżanowski, AK commander of Vilnius region, commanded over 9000 armed Armia Krajowa partisans. The relations between Lithuanians and Poles were detrimental. Thousands of Poles were killed by Lithuanian collaborators working with Nazis (like the German subordinated Lithuanian Security Police[18] or the Local Lithuanian Detachment under the command of general Povilas Plechavičius,[19] many more were deported into Germany as slave labour.[20]) In return, members of Armia Krajowa often killed Lithuanians Nazi collaborators[4] and looted their property in Vilnius region.[21] AK also targeted Lithuanian institutions, for example historian Stanislovas Buchaveckas noted that AK was able to paralyze the activities of many Lithuanian educational institutions in 1943.[22] Zygmunt Szendzielarz

On June 23, 1944, in response to an earlier massacre on June 20 of 37 Polish villagers in Glitiškės (Glinciszki) by Lithuanian Security Police[20][18] rogue AK troops apparently acting against specific orders of Krzyżanowski which forbade reprisals against civilians[20] but acting upon the order of commander of the 5th Vilnian Home Army Brigade Zygmunt Szendzielarz "Łupaszko"[20] committed a massacre of Lithuanian policemen and civilians, at Dubingiai (Dubinki), where 27 Lithuanians, including women and children were murdered.[18] In total, the number of victims of Polish revenge actions at the end of June 1944 in Dubingiai and neighbouring towns of Joniškis, Inturkė, Bijutiškis, and Giedraičiai, was 70–100 Lithuanians, including many civilians.[23][12][24] Massacre at Dubingiai was the only known massacre carried out by units of AK.[18][20]

The scale of other killings is a subject of disagreement. Tadeusz Piotrowski notes that thousands of Poles died at the hand of Lithuanian collaborators, and tens of thousands were deported.[20] Polish historian Jarosław Wołkonowski, living in Lithuania, puts the number of the Lithuanians killed by rogue AK elements at under 100.[18] An estimate by a Lithuanian investigator Rimas Bružas is that about 500 Lithuanian civilians were killed by Poles during the war.[25] Estimates of Juozas Lebionka suggest even a higher number of 1000.[26] On 14 July 1993 the nationalist[19] and extremist[18][27] Lithuanian Vilnija organization claims that AK killed 4000 residents in ethnic Lithuanian lands.[23] State commission was established by the Government of Lithuania to evaluate activities of Armia Krajowa in Lithuania which had to present conclusions by 1 December 1993.[28][dubious – discuss]. Not a single member of Armia Krajowa, many veterans of which live in Lithuania, has been charged with any crimes as of 2001.[18] A Lithuanian historian Arūnas Bubnys admits that there were no mass murders carried by AK (with the only exception being Dubingai), but that AK was guilty of some war crimes against individuals or selected families; he also notes that any accusations of genocide are false and have an underlying political motive, among them a counteraction to the accusations of widespread German–Lithuanian collaboration and crimes committed by units such as the Lithuanian Secret Police (see also Holocaust in Lithuania).[18] Polish political and military underground cells were created all over Lithuania, Polish partisan attacks were usual not only in Vilnius Region but across demarcation line as well.[24]

Petite imprécision

"La dernière source d'approvisionnement était les parachutages des Alliés. C'était la seule manière d'obtenir des armes exotiques mais puissantes comme le plastic ou des armes anti-chars (PIAT). Durant la guerre 485 avions alliés effectuèrent des parachutages à destination de l'AK, fournissant 600,9 tonnes de matériel. Durant ces opérations, 70 avions et 62 équipages (dont 28 étaient polonais) furent perdus. En sus du matériel, les avions parachutaient également des instructeurs spécialisés (les Cichociemni), dont près de 346 furent envoyés en Pologne durant la guerre. À cause de la très grande distance à parcourir depuis les bases en Grande-Bretagne et en Méditerranée ainsi que d'une faible volonté politique, les parachutages ne représentèrent qu'une petite fraction de ceux effectués pour les mouvements de résistances français et yougoslaves."

C'est inexact! Des anglo-américains. Les Soviétiques n'ont rien fait allors qu'il était les plus proches. Soit ils avaient d'autres chats à fouetter, soit les vieux antagonismes russo-polonais (probablement les 2) l'ont empéché. Skiff (d) 24 mars 2009 à 13:09 (CET)
