Katyn Forest Massacre & Coverup by FDR & US Government *incl. video*

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


An ethical person – like a politician, banker or lawyer – may know right from wrong, but unlike a politician, a moral person lives it. “Marx and Engels never tried to refute their opponents with argument. They insulted, ridiculed, derided, slandered, and traduced them, and in the use of these methods their followers are not less expert. Their polemic is directed never against the argument of the opponent, but always against his person.” – Socialism http://chasvoice.blogspot.com/

As if the war crimes by the Soviets were not sufficient for trial, withholding the truth from the American people by FDR to protect his co-conspirator “Uncle Joe Stalin”, an act that is in itself treasonous. There have always been “good communists” in the view of American leaders who were picked to lead America, just as today there are “moderate terrorists”. In the un-original, we say “nothing new under the sun”.

We are participating in cover-ups of unspeakable war crimes for Israel as we type. “Moderate” terrorists get US aid. Here’s another horror and shameful equivalent US Government cover-up by our masters. : A Memorial for the Victims of the Wilhelm Gustloff sinking, Jan. 30th, 1945 – A “hate crime” of epic proportions



The Katyn Massacre

The Discovery

On April 13, 1943, Nazi Germany announced the discovery of mass graves in the Katyn forest near Smolensk, Russia.

The bodies of around 4,400 men, whose hands had been bound and who had been shot from behind, were found buried there. The deceased were mostly Polish officers. The Nazis realized the Soviet Union was responsible for the massacre and attempted to use this knowledge to their advantage. The Germans hoped the revelation would alienate the USSR from its allies, Great Britain, the United States–and Poland.

The stench was bad. When we came the Germans were removing a layer of earth about a meter thick. And then there were coats, bodies and coats, lying there in a row. And they were feeling these bodies, checking the pockets, removing flasks, removing watches, and the Germans set up a museum further out. The Germans wanted witnesses. They wanted us to act as witnesses for history.
- Dmitry Khudykh, Katyn resident

Poland had a complicated history with the Soviet Union, its neighbor to the east. The two countries had clashed in the Polish-Soviet War (1920–1921), and Poland had been halved in 1939 after being crushed from both the west and east by advancing German and Soviet forces. At that time, the USSR and Germany were allied by the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, but after Germany betrayed its former partner and invaded the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin had been forced to ally his country with others fighting the Nazis. On July 30, 1941, representatives of Poland and the USSR signed an agreement that would release Poles who had been captured and incarcerated by the Soviet Union. But some prisoners were missing.

When questioned in December 1941 about their whereabouts by the head of the Polish government-in-exile , General Wladyslaw Sikorski , Stalin insisted that they must have escaped. Soviet officials claimed they had no knowledge about the fate of the missing prisoners.

When the news broke about the German discovery, the Polish government-in-exile asked the International Red Cross to conduct an independent investigation. (Red Cross findings later indicated that the Soviets were responsible for the massacre.) The Soviets, who denied culpability and blamed the killings on German forces that had overrun the region in 1941, broke diplomatic relations with the Polish government. The April 19, 1943, edition of Pravda, the official newspaper of the Communist Party’s Central Committee, accused the Polish government of striking a treacherous blow against the USSR. Stalin began to identify Polish communists , to whom he would later award positions of power in a puppet government in Poland. The Soviets also organized their own investigation of the tragedy and determined that the fault lay with Germany. But Katyn residents knew differently.




Of course we

knew that our side killed the Poles. My mother told me to keep my mouth shut and not to talk about it ever in my life.
- Nina Voevodskaya, Katyn resident

Neither the British nor the American governments wanted to know too much about the graves. If their ally, Joseph Stalin, had ordered the murders, they preferred to keep it quiet.

When a British diplomat in London wrote a report suggesting that the Soviet Union had been responsible for the massacre, Prime Minister Winston Churchill addressed the issue in a confidential note, stating: “there is no use prowling morbidly round the three year old graves of Smolensk.”

The Coverup

In late 1943, as the Red Army began to recapture territory in eastern Poland, the Soviet secret police (the NKVD ), cordoned off the Katyn forest near Smolensk to create one of the most elaborate coverups of the war. After exhuming the bodies from the graves that the Germans had previously uncovered, the NKVD had documents forged to suggest that the Germans had committed the crime. They planted the false documents on the newly exhumed bodies and worked to persuade local people who had witnessed the Soviet crimes to change their stories.

[this video & image inserted by Ed.] Arthur Bliss Lane, American Ambassador to Poland is author of “I Saw Poland Betrayed”, a tale of  United States treachery.
 


Lane was born in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, Kings County, New York. He was appointed U.S. Minister to Nicaragua (1933–1936); Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (1936–1937); Kingdom of Yugoslavia, (1937–1941); and Costa Rica (1941–1942). He was then appointed U.S. Ambassador to Colombia (1942–1944), and subsequently to Poland (1944–1947).

While in Poland, Lane was so disappointed that he resigned his post (on February 24, 1947) and wrote the book which detailed what he considered to be the failure of the United States and Britain to keep their promise that the Poles would have a free election after the war. In that book he described what he considered betrayal of Poland by the Western Allies, hence the title, I Saw Poland Betrayed. The book was translated into Polish and published in this version in the United States, and later by an underground publishing house in Poland in the 1980s.

According to Lane, the U.S. and Britain at the Tehran Conference agreed to dismemberment of the eastern part of Poland. He considered it a breach of the United States Constitution, since Roosevelt never reported his decision to the Senate. The Yalta Conference was the death blow to Poland’s hopes for independence and for a democratic form of government, said Lane.
 ~~~~~~~~

In January 1944, the Soviet authorities went public with their attempt to con the world about the murders. They filmed falsified documents–money, letters, and a postcard written in Polish by a Polish prisoner of war dated June 20, 1941–to show that the Poles had still been alive in 1941. Key witnesses had also been persuaded, upon the threat of death, to withdraw the testimony they had given to the Germans.

The Soviet deception did not fool the American or British governments. However, dependent on the help of the Soviet Union to defeat the Axis countries, Great Britain and the United States accepted the Soviet version of events, even going so far as to ignore and suppress evidence that implicated the USSR. 

President Franklin D. Roosevelt had instructed his special emissary to the Balkans, George Earle, to look into the massacre. After receiving Earle’s report in 1944, which asserted that the Soviets were responsible, the president did not allow it to be published. Meanwhile, a British Foreign Office official, who examined the Soviet claims, wrote a secret report in which he said that an essential part of the Soviet case was simply incredible. But this would remain confidential. Even before he had read the report, Churchill had written to the Foreign Secretary saying “we should none of us ever speak a word about it.”

      Not so simple a problem. Before the invasion of Poland, Hitler knew the single biggest threat to the Reich’s war machine was Soviet Russia!
      Rather than go 300 Kilometers by 300 Kilometers to obtain all resources and destroy all a countries war machine, with Russia it requires 3000 Km x 3000 Km. Too vast!
      What the non-aggression Pact was in essence designed to do was lull Soviet Russia into a sense of false security as it did somewhat, albeit not perfectly.
      Hitler had to somehow achieve an agreement of how to keep the giant Soviet war machine out of the way.
      He would achieve this by “blackening the hands of the Soviets” with the “dirty black market handover of the section of Russia leaved on Poland after the second world war” as a peace offering, and removing any trust of alliance with the powers (Britain and France) that guaranteed Poland’s political boundary after the WW1 Treaty of Versailles.
      A couple of things would be tempted at Stalin to do this,
      1. The handover of the Russian section of Poland with little effort.
      2. The compliment and assurance of the Russian – Belorussian peoples status matching “unter mench” (2nd rate humans – not subhumans) .

      Stalin’s biggest problem was no matter what he decided the German war machine would be on his doorstep regardless and was being pressed to have a stance on the issue as international proclamation not mere opinion. Either way, completely neutral or biased, he tended to know he would be facing the NAZI war machine at some time no matter how shifty or seperate he tried to be.
      All Historians most common mistake at explaining the NAZIS in WW2!!!! Name a documentary , it makes the mistake of not explaining it as in the next following paragraph !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      (It is interesting to note “the rape of Nanking” 1937 Japan-China war with this feature or ism).
      It is exactly as this person states in the beginning of the following documentary, “To Kill Everyone that was not a German citizen including second rate humans as they called them” . Everyone get’s that point wrong because they only think of Auschwitz and Jews and Gypsy people and Negroids.
      What also is not explained is much of “the action of destroying the enemy came with the requirement of defeating them by derision and mockery and unfairness as a policy of both fighting and strategy!”
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9_L4xi0wRY

      Infiltration by German secret soldiers” is standard preceding any NAZI campaigns or they would not attack(as much committing an air of false peace and security through public international declarations) , too with the “hominid morphology” of Germans and Japanese with Germany to the west and Siberia to the east – note: Japan has always also used Chinese calligraphic among its own systems!!!
      If it’s any consolation about such creatures as infiltrators and spies, most of any such attacks through history inclusive Vietnam war e.g. “Tet offensive” and NLF methodology , Korean war, WW2 , WW1 always has such “graffiti” by its’ result and a rule of thumb in any sudden attack ever succeeds(just noting it has a water perimeter and is a fortress effectively).
      The second world war is “the result of an objective by Adolf Hitler and the German people in agreement of being the vehicle of means to end by wanton with Germany’s allies” of a clear similarity of authoritarian and totalitarian contrast , by its end it is one thing to want power and rule, it is another to slip and lose grasp by greed of a fragile finite resource of peoples lives(Germans). ***This perspective is too subtle to explain , but is a problem surrounding what the objective was***, because “any enemy of the NAZI’s would be both created in huge numbers and more ready to destroy Germany or its pieces of war machine “at cost to itself”.
      The underlying meaning is both Hitler and those mattered in the NAZI’s that were making and controlling policy always would known the end will come if its policy were for conquest and extermination not material profit(looting – by forceful conquest – war) and national pride by a more competitive “Honorable fight”, however, extermination was a very detail activity leaving much of the “wealth” resources to second place. Having an ideology and exterminating is one thing, but as expressed before appears to be more “wanton” inclusive to general genocide.
      Unfortunately the complexity lays back in history(thousands of years) statistically as the fact genocide as “wanton” is not an exclusive to WW2 and the NAZI’s!!!

      The “Katyn Massacre” of Polish forces by Stalin was probably alike the non aggression pact with Hitler , “a political expediency threat at Hitler” to warn him to not attack the Soviets, However its backlash with the Polish would be only able to be countered by they ethnic Russians whom were part of the region from the era when the Czar and Russia had that region of Poland 100 years earlier. Neither one had helped themselves much by those tactics, the poles probably freely collaborated with the Germans against the Soviets at that time and the Germans attacked to diverse and large a battlefield when they stabbed the “agreement(not alliance)” in the back.
      Poland’s protective allies were England and France.
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoney_Wara
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_War
      A stark contrasting detail to the before mentioned is the fact that many German and Ireland names dominate USA politics and as much are Netherlands also, so in effect, better safe than sorry could as easily been the problem of the origin of the Katyn Massacre(a set of them actually inside the Soviet Union – Russia from deportations from Poland).
      It does easily explain itself as Soviets by the mentioned “Soviet top secret documents” as hard line communist because of its disdain for bourgeois(soldiers) and frivolous(officials – police) or politically dissenting(priests) types of Polish society (example: what the communists would execute if it were by revolution).

      Most likely done “as political expediency by Stalin as attempt to scare Hitler” , Stalin didn’t have a huge genocides worth of people at hand he felt he could excuse using for such a purpose!
      It was considered Stalin KNEW he was about to be attacked , he simply did not know when or in what form it would come other than a basic military advance , at that point he was attempting to forge a political defense against the problem!
      Other theories would be as much trying to please Hitler at the same time as issuing the warning, and as much possibility of German infiltration to the Soviet Intelligentsia suggested and tested its hand at control or manipulation.
      Again too, apart the “Winter War” Finland is not mentioned much but was an Allie of Germany during WW2.
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation_War
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romania_in_World_War_II
      Axis Powers were: Germany , Italy , Romania , Finland , Japan , Yugoslavia
      remaining neutral but supporting “Axis” : Spain , Portugal , Switzerland , Turkey
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_powers

      The USA can be considered to be “neutral” during Katyn and other incidents of either the Soviet Bloc or Germany’s Reich and did not enter WW2 until the attack on USA Navy forces in Hawaii at Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941.

      ***However, another problem to Stalin was the lean toward and assistance to the USA the Polish peoples state had (In short the Polish military were (in Stalin’s thinking) almost spies and operatives for Hitler if they chose to give the support in that direction that could have been either Soviet or NAZI or both as they wanted!!!).
      Much of post war Polish politics involves treaties – Treaty of Versailles (Woodrow Wilson , Herbert Hoover , Roosevelt ) and “direct military assistance” to the Polish people by the USA can only have disturbed Stalin and made the Polish forces almost an American force in his estimate!,
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish-American_vote
      Again too and more importantly if the United States were any real threat against the WW2 Soviet Bloc through Poland’s diplomatic and economic channels, there is also the alike through France of which the customs of the USA and in-corporations of society have a larger influence and larger ethnic French USA population, and by the instance of the “Phoney War” and the consideration the “Cold War” can in part be considered to exist after WW1 not WW2 (Usually considered 1947 after WW2 is its beginning).
