The goal of the June uprising organized by the LAF was to seize control of Lithuania as Soviet forces retreated in the face of Germany's attack. During the June uprising, LAF paramilitaries committed many atrocities (rapes, murders, pillage). Even the Germans referred to these "allies" as "organized robbers". Also, a number of acts issued by the LAF-instituted Provisional Government of Lithuania discriminated against Jews, one notable example being "Žydų padėties nuostatai" (English: "Regulation on the Status of Jews"), which according to some authors were never actually adopted and only considered by the Provisional Government.
