    Event History
    According to reports from Einsatzkommando 3, commanded by Karl Jaeger, which was responsible for implementing the initial phases of the final solution in Lithuania, auxiliary companies like the Union of Lithuanian Riflemen were used in shooting actions from the very beginning of the German occupation. The infamous "Jaeger report" detailing the activities of EK 3 from 3 July to 25 November 1941 mentions five shooting actions at or near Panevezys in which Lithuanians presumably took part. The result of these allowed Jaeger to happily report "that the solution of the Jewish problem for Lithuania has been achieved by EK 3."
