Hello everyone. I'm recently looking at the history of the Baltics and have managed to find some amazingly useful things, like the fact that the Baltic peoples elected the Soviet government themselves, how pro-Soviet they have been since the Civil War, etc. One thing I'm hard-stuck on finding out the truth about is the deportations. I have only managed to find a CIA document about the ones from the Latvija, where it says:

"In May 1945, the Soviet authorities arrested and deported all police officials, home guardsmen, and people who were suspected of having cooperated with the German troops or occupation forces. Many of these deportees were put to work on the Stalin Canal, and, although some of them later returned to Latvia, they were deported again in later deportations." (‘1. Partisan Activity and Deportations in Latvia 2. Economic Conditions in Latvia’, CIA, May 19, 1953, p. 2)

But as for the Estonija and the Lithuania, I was not able to find anything. I assume it is because of the Nazi-backed terror gangs which were prevelant there, especially the Lithuania, but I am just wondering if there are better sources on what actually happened. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
