Does anyone have any information on the racial history of the Lithuanians? I am partly of Lithuanian descent, and I've found it most difficult to learn about my Lithuanian half. I do know that they speak the oldest Indo-European language still in use, and I know that they were the last European nation to convert to Christianity. But can anyone give me more information on the racial foundation of these people? By the way, I've heard that many WWII German officers were able to trace their lineage back to Teutonic Knights from the shores of the Baltic in the Lithuanian region, is there any truth to this? Finally, I've spoken with some ex-Nazi party members from the Third Reich and they've spontaneously told me that they have relatives that look very similar to me. One was from Breslau which, if I'm not mistaken, is currently part of Poland. The other I'm not sure of the origins. What does this mean?
