		In 1941, he was appointed the Generalkommissar of Lithuania, where he took increasingly harsh measures against the Jewish population.
		On August 26, 1941, he ordered that all telephones and lines were to be stripped, postal service be cut off, and bridges to the Kowno ghetto be surrounded with barbed wire fences to prevent people from jumping off.
		This order also forbid the Jews of the Kowno ghetto to use doors, window frames, or houses for fuel.

	retreat from moscow
		The marshal found in Kowno a company of artillerymen, consisting of three hundred Germans who constituted the garrison of the place, and general Marchand, with four hundred men.
		At Kowno, as well as after the disasters of Wiazma, of Smolensk, of the Berezina, and of Wilna, to him was once more confided the honour of our arms, and the whole peril attending the concluding steps of our retreat.
		Ney despatched Ledru and Marchand, with their four hundred men to retake and secure that passage: and himself, without relaxing his efforts, or disturbing himself about what was going on behind him, fought at the head of thirty men, and maintained his ground till night at the Wilna gate.

		Soon, new wooden houses arose and the town expanded up the hill but this expansion was brought to a temporary halt in 1383 when the Teutonic Knights struck, once again.

		This was especially urgent in Kowno because there were 30.000 Jews in a total population of 152.400.
		Therefore, at the end of the first pogrom a Jewish Committee was summoned who were informed that the German authorities so far had not seen any reason to interfere in the quarrels between Lithouanians and Jews.
		On this the Jews at once declared themselves ready to do everything in their power to transfer their co-racials to the town district of Viriampol which was intended as a Jewish Ghetto and with the greatest possible speed.

		This was undoubtedly the first time anyone had seen a rear-guard mounted on sledges; but it was a success in the prevailing conditions.
		We continued to cover the retreat until, on the 13th of December, we saw the Nieman once more, and Kowno (Kaunas), the last town in Russia.
		On entering Kowno with the rear-guard, Marshal Ney found that the only garrison was a small battalion of Germans some 400 strong, whom he joined to the troops which he still had in order to defend the town for as long as possible, to give the sick and wounded the opportunity to cross into Prussia.

		In the beginning of May, 1812, the great army of Napoleon arrived at the frontier of Poland, whence it proceeded by forced and most tiresome marches to the river Niemen, which forms the boundary between Lithuania and Poland, arriving at the borders of the river in the middle of June.
		An immense body of soldiers (500,000) met near the city of Kowno, crossed the Niemen on pontoons, and formed, under the eyes of the Emperor, in endless battle line on the other side.
		Ebstein says that the cause of the sad, the wretched condition concerning supplies was due to the fact that incompetent officers had been appointed as commissaries of the army; they held high military rank, were independent and could not be easily reached for their faults.
