What exactly are you questioning:

- the fact, that Soviets deported hundreds of thousands of Poles?

- the number of them given by ms_68?

- location (Siberia)?===

Who was depoted. Where. How much. Just few remembraces of "deported to Sibiria".
Because I never heard about polish citizens in Sibiria.
Soviet citizens collaborators with hetlirites I heard. POWs of germans and japanese. No poles.

Makes no sense to re-write here what you can read yourself.

Have a "nice" reading

Just a short quote from the first link:

In Moscow an immense plan was drawn and signed by Colonel Serov, Deputy Commissar for Security to deport over a million Polish citizens. It was intended to remove "socially dangerous and anti-Soviet elements". The deportees were to be 'finished off' in prisons, forced labour camps and places of enforced settlements in the northern parts of European Russia and Central Asia where conditions would ensure their liquidation. From winter to June 1941 the NKVD carried out four mass deportations of about 1,500,000 Polish citizens, mostly ethnic Poles.
