I still don’t get it. Why would exposing Katyn hurt the fight against the Nazis? There’s just no way Stalin would make a seperate peace. That leaves Churchill and FDR’s delusions of sweet talking Russia into doing their bidding, which was ridiculous. Then there was the Pacific, which does lend an excuse, and the only excuse.
You have an Ally at war, one you NEED to aid you in defeating a common enemy.. are you really going to accuse them of this sort of thing in the middle of that war?
I really don’t think so. Yes, you have a common enemy, but you aren’t exactly buddy buddy to begin with.
This is oen of those things where in the realities of war, the truth and exposing what you know takes a back seat to what needs to be done.
No different than Churchill knowing bombings would happen in certain towns because the allies had cracked the enigma code, but chose NOT to warn folks living there they were coming, because to do so would tip off the germans their code had been cracked.
War is UGLY my friend, and as the saying go, its first casualty is the truth.
