The image might have originated with the Nazis as they first discovered the massacre and invited the Red Cross to come and witness the remains.

At this point the image does not serve a Nazi propaganda purpose anyway, and is an artistic rendition of the truth.

Very similar, because the same regime is responsible for both.

Well as is conventional wisdom in today’s Russia, even among his supporters: Putin has to stay in power...lest he be brought to trial and forced to answer for his many crimes.

Some Brit believes something. Therefore, it must be true.

Another so called British investigator.

Maybe paid by DNC to detonate anti-russia hysteria.

The last 20 minutes of that Polish film, “Katyn” was probably the scariest bit of film I’ve ever seen.

A comparable film from about 15 years ago is maybe “Come and See”, made by Belarus, I think.

Completely terrifying.

In “British investigator” they trust.

Steele dossier must be taken seriously.

The Nazis first discovered and publicized Katyn, and I get the problem - that a lot of the original sources are tainted by Nazism - but I still think you should really work to avoid using Nazi propaganda in discussing it. Among other things, it plays right into Russia’s hands. They argue, wrongly, that Kremlin critics and those who bring up Katyn = neo-Nazis.

Lol. A polish media used to claim that explosives had been founded in thw wreckage. It was denied by polish government and the reporters were sacked.

Its Russia. Read the article. Just like the plane in Ukraine.

I thought from the very beginning it was the Russians who did it. Don't know if I am right, but that was my guess from day one.

Because the political party founded by the late president needs to let the investigation go on and on, as long as they can get political gain.

He believes, but doesn’t have any real evidence.

I believe in green aliens from the Planet Mongo, but I don’t have any evidence, so it is just as valid, right???

They died because of a disease called get-there-Itis, which causes pilots under pressure to complete the mission, to kill themselves and others. In this case, it was flying into horrible weather, even after trying to cancel the landing, and reportedly being ordered not to.

Most of those killed in the Katyn Forest Massacre were Polish Army Reserve Offices, with about 50+% of them being Jewish.

They would have been the resistance leaders against the Nazis when the regular Polish Army was beaten.

The US Congress had a special investigation of this massacre, several very thick volumes, which laid out much of what happened as there were survivors who escaped and told/wrote about what they saw.

However, I suspect that it is never taught in any US high school history class and probably not in a majority of college European history classes.

They reason is obvious. The coverup continues.

He discussed the evidence. Wings breaking against trees don’t curl outside. Innocent parties don’t bulldoze evidence.

I wonder if there is any Pole in existence who sees the poster, reads the inscription (which is in Polish) and his first thought is “oh, oh! Nazi propaganda! Tainted by Nazism!”
