... that playing of music with Belgian-made bells of the Kaunas Carillon ceased for 16 years (1940–1956, except for one day on 23 June 1941) due to the Soviet and Nazi German occupations of Lithuania?

Source: 1) "Nuo 1940 08 01, iškilmingai nuleidus Lietuvos valstybinę vėliavą, varpais nebeskambinta" (English: From 1940 08 01, after the solemn lowering of the national flag of Lithuania, the bells were no longer rung; first source);
2) "Trumpam varpai suskambo 1941 metų birželio 23-iąją, per Kauno radiofoną paskelbus, jog Raudonoji armija išvyta iš miesto" (English: The bells rang briefly on 23 June 1941, when the Kaunas radio station announced that the Red Army had been driven out of the city; second source);
3) "Kariljonas vėl suskambo 1956 pradėjus koncertuoti (nuo 1957 reguliariai) kompozitoriams V. Kuprevičiui ir jo sūnui G. A. Kuprevičiui" (English: The carillon rang again in 1956 when the composers V. Kuprevičius and his son G. A. Kuprevičius started performing (since 1957 regularly); again first source).
