    Fleet Parade (Flottenparade). The documentary presents a controversial history of the Klaipeda region in the interwar period - the uprising of 1923 and granting of the autonomy status to the Klaipeda region, an extreme germanisation of the Klaipeda region and a sensational trial of Nazis in Kaunas in 1935, the German ultimatum and the loss of the Klaipeda region in 1939. For the first time the viewer will be able to see the top secret plan to occupy Klaipeda region entitled “Fleet Parade” prepared by Nazis in 1938.

     

    Games Played by Intelligence: Forgotten Paratroopers. After the end of the Second World War the Soviet Intelligence kept disrupting the activities of the Intelligence Services of the Great Britain and the United States of America. The British and American Intelligence deployed eight Lithuanian counter-intelligence paratroops in the Soviet Union between 1949 and 1955. Each one of them suffered a defeat - they have been arrested, imprisoned, enlisted by KGB, murdered of committed suicide.
