RE :"
Not only did (USSR/Stalin) communists and NKVD agents carry out the propaganda campaign but, unfortunately, the United States government helped them. The Office of War Information (OWI) tried to intimidate the Polish-American radio stations and newspapers when they told the truth about the Soviet atrocity against the Poles.
Alan Cranston was head of the Foreign Language Division of the OWI and later a U.S. Senator from California. He called a meeting of OWI officials because the Polish-American radio stations had taken a rather antagonistic attitude toward Russia on the Katyn forest issue. Cranston felt that this was inimical to the war effort and should be straightened out. The radio stations and newspapers were contacted and threatened with being closed down if they continued to tell the truth about the Soviet Union."
You know the saying: Stalin was better than Hitler so he is our friend.
Meanwhile US communists were infesting the US government under Roosevelt at the same time, but heck, at least they were not Nazis.

US Communists fought to keep the US out of the war until the USSR was invaded. They flipped over night and many of their members, drawn to the anti-war fervor of the Communists, left the movement.
Later we discovered the US Communist Party was under the pay of the USSR.
