Operation Barbarossa II? For the First Time Since WWII, Germany Launches a Permanent Deployment of Troops in Eastern Lithuania on the Russian Border

Germany has launched its first deployment abroad since World War II, saying troops will be sent to eastern Lithuania on Russian border, which is NATO’s eastern flank.

We have been telling you for some time now that World War 3 is coming at us rapidly, and that when it does, Germany will once again be front and center just as they were in the previous two wars. Since then, we have watched Germany begin to rearm themselves to an astonishing degree, something they have not done since WWII, and now we are watching them deploy a permanent troop presence on foreign soil, also something we have not seen since WWII. That deployment just happens to be in eastern Lithuania on the Russian border, what an amazing coincidence.

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJB)

Operation Barbarossa was the code name for Nazi Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union, launched on June 22, 1941, aiming to conquer the western Soviet Union and establish German dominance in Eastern Europe. Operation Barbarossa was a spectacular failure and sounded the death knell for Nazi power and control in Europe, representing ‘strike 2’ in Germany’s plan to control the continent, WWI being the first strike. Jesus tells us in Matthew 24 that the beginning of sorrows will include wars and rumours of wars, and that is exactly what we are watching right now. WW3 here we come, and that’s the memo.

Germany launches first permanent foreign deployment since WWII – and it’s on Putin’s doorstep

FROM THE MIRROR UK: Brigadier General Christoph Huber, commander of the brigade, explained: “We have a clear mission. We have to ensure the protection, freedom and security of our Lithuanian allies here on NATO’s eastern flank.” The unit is to be fully operational by 2027. It will be the first time German troops have been serving abroad permanently since the Second World War.

The newly created 45th Armored Brigade will contain 5,000 servicemen and women and be stationed in the east of the country. The brigade was activated during a ceremony outside the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius. A temporary headquarters has been established, and the unit is under the command of Brigadier General Huber. The official headquarters in Rūdninkai is expected to be up and running by 2027.

Yes, this recent rocket test by Germany was a resounding failure, but let me just say this. You are going to watch them catch up at lightning speed, pun intended. Germany started the last two World Wars and they will start the third one, too. pic.twitter.com/4xr5vdjjJv

The brigade is made up of frontline infantry, and support units – including a medical centre, signal company and command support teams.

Plans for the deployment were initially reported back in 2023. It was a major break from Germany’s defence policy, which has prevented the permanent deployment of troops abroad since the end of WWII. READ MORE

FROM 2024: Lithuania has initiated the construction of Germany’s first permanent overseas military base since World War II. The financial times reported that new German army barracks are being built near the Belarus border. The base is expected to house approximately four thousand Bundeswehr soldiers by 2027. This significant construction project is part of Germany’s strategic response to regional security issues. In 2025, those troops are arriving daily, with the transfer complete by 2027.
