World War Two wasted nearly 40 shock when they found out where the Katyn The Soviet attitude becomes more and more forest was: the site of the mass graves was 4 km suspicious the closer we look at it. They persist in million lives. Wasted, you ask? Yes, from the place where the trail of the inmates of “getting their facts wrong-” they always insist, because the original aim of the war - Kozelsk camp had run cold - Gnezdovo. The for instance, that the Nuremberg Trials that of guaranteeing Poland’s Russian reply to this was to broadcast that the conclusively proved and reinforced the findings of independance against foreign Germans themselves had massacred the Poles the Soviet Commission into Katyn of 1944, aggression - remains unachieved.

They also “conveniently forgot” salient The argument rages still. At least five facts - like the 10,000 other officers who refugees fleeing from a regime which, commissions have investigated Katyn - four disappeared, because they have no plausible while not as bloodthirsty, is just as during the war (one German, one Polish, one explanation of such facts. despotic and tyranical as that Nazi International and one Soviet) and one American Their wartime conduct was suspicious as well: regime which so many millions fought in 1951 - 52, as well as many individuals who were for 19 months they couldn’t produce either the and died for to overthrow. Those Poles called on to attend the various investigations, and missing men or reliable information about them; who in many cases made their own reports to and then, two days after the German broadcast, who stay at home are almost certain to their governments. Of the commissions, all but they could reply: ‘...the former Polish prisoners of be imprisoned (or worse) if they demand one reported that the massacre had been war... in 1941 were engaged in construction work of the government those trade union committed in April-May 1940, and hence by the in the areas west of Smolensk and... fell into the rights which we take for granted, and Soviets. hands of the German-Fascist hangmen in the which they are promised in their own The Soviet Commission of 1944 was, of course, summer of 1941, after the withdrawal of the constitution.

They fought themselves put Katyn into the indictment of the April 25th, they cut off relations with the Polish for theirs - and lost it twice over, once at the hands of the Nazis, and once at those of the Soviets. How did this situation come about? The answer to this question is a warning, if only we could realize it. In 1932, the Soviet Union signed a Non- Aggression Treaty with Poland. In August 1939 she signed another with Germany, and in this Pact the two criminals decided that an independent Poland was not in their interests - and carved it up between them. It was in response to this treaty that Britain guaranteed Poland’s independence, and delayed war on Germany when the latter attacked Poland on September 1st, 1939. As Poland was desperately defending herself, the USSR struck sixteen days later. This article concerns the officers of the Polish POW bag of 242,000 which the Soviets captured in the course of their heroic back-stabbery. (1) These officers, numbering 15,000 were incarcerated in three special NKVD camps deep in the Soviet Union (2) They were extensively and repeatedly interrogated, as a result of which nearly 500 men were separated from the rest to another camp. The men were allowed to write to their homes in Poland but the flow of mail abruptly stopped in April 1940 when the camps were disbanded. The inmates - 14,500 in number - were transported in cattle trucks to an unknown destination. The destination of two of those three camps remains a Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg Trials.
