Biography
Aleksas or Aleksandras Miliulis was born in 1923 in the town of Batakiai in the Tauragė district. He was a captain in the Lithuanian army in the interwar period as well as a teacher in the villages of Budviečiai and later Purvėnai. He taught English. Later on he became a soldier in the Lithuanian Liberation Army. In 1945 he organized his first partisan group near Žygaičiai. In 1946 he substituted a partisan company of the Kęstutis military district. After a few months, he became the head of the company's propaganda sector, and in 1948 he was chosen leader of his own subdivision of the military district. During this period Miliulis succeeded in establishing the underground organization Raketa in Tauragė, whose members included employees of Soviet repressive structures. In April of 1949, he was appointed commander of the military district, as the previous commander Henrikas Danilevičius left for Kaunas.[2][3][4][5]
During Miliulis's tenure, the military district increased its capabilities of integrity and confidentiality, however, the location of the short-lived fourth headquarters of the military district was revealed shortly. MGB agent under the codename Platonas successfully pretended to be captain in the Lithuanian army, after which he set up a meeting with the leadership in the forest of Kaziškė. Miliulis died on 8 June 1949[6] in the ensuing fight, along with others.[7] Their bodies were displayed in Šubertine, an NKVD interrogation headquarters in Tauragė. They are believed to be buried in its yard.[2][3][4][5]

He was posthumously awarded the rank of colonel in 1998. The following year in 1999 he was awarded the Order of the Cross of Vytis.[2][3][4][5]
