 The Dubingiai massacre started a wider AK operation in which units beyond the 5th Brigade were involved.In total, 70–100 Lithuanians were killed by the end of June 1944 in Dubingiai and the neighbouring villages of Joniškis, Inturkė, Bijutiškis, and Giedraičiai.While Nazi collaborators were ostensibly the prime targets, the victims included the elderly, children, and even infants.
