The treachery of the Soviets to the Poles, from the ‘39 partition, to the Katyn massacre, to holding its armies in check while the Nazis wiped out the Warsaw Uprising, to the seizure of eastern Polish territories after the war, are an indelible stain on the communist regime and its post-communist imperialist successor, Russia.

The Germans have had long, if imperfect, reckoning of the barbarity of their nation in the war. The Russians have not.

“Poland should go nuclear.”

Agreed. With half pointed at Moscow and the other half at Berlin.

Probably the ONLY THING good the nazis did when they made this find public.
I have a copy of THE UNKNOWN WAR on DVD in which Brut Lancaster narrating blames Katyn on the nazis.

An old joke in Poland: "The Germans and Russians invade at the same time. Who do you start killing first? The Germans, because it's always business before pleasure."

Germany discovered the graves and reported it but the Allies refused to believe it at the time, thought it to be propaganda. Some still do not realize communism has murdered far, far more many than any other form of government. Sweet dreams (Obamas had this on the WH Christmas tree in 2009): IMG-0854

Red Cross Aid Given in Probe of ‘Massacre’

Will Help Obtain Neutral Experts to Investigate Nazi Charges

By PAUL GHALI
SPECIAL RADIO To The Binghamton Press and the Chicago Daily News, Inc.

Berne, April 23. 1943—The International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva, after deliberating for nearly a week in the closest secrecy the requests of the Polish and German Governments to participate in identification of bodies exhumed in Katyn Forest, has just issued an official communique declaring its readiness “in principle to assist in the appointment of neutral experts” to investigate the affair.

The committee’s decision, however, is made subject to the expressed condition that “all parties concerned” request its intervention in accordance with the memorandum of Sept. 12, 1929, in which the committee informed belligerents of the principles by which it would be guided in making inquiries.

The result of today’s decision is, naturally, that the committee will not intervene unless requested to do so by Russia.

Geneva circles believe that the committee is extremely reluctant to be dragged into the affair but simultaneously does not wish to incur the displeasure of any government on whose good will it must rely for success in its work.

The communique just issued represents a compromise between the conflicting issues at stake.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Poland’s government in exile seeks an investigation into Germany’s charge that 10,000 Polish officers had been massacred in 1940 by the Russians and buried near Smolensk. Moscow argues that its Polish ally should be loyal enough not to swallow Nazi allegations.

Vasily Blokhin was Stalin's chief excecutioner. He personally murdered most of the officers in the Katyn Massacre.
