Stalin DID order execution of 3,500 Polish soldiers newly discovered testimony claims | Mail Online
A researcher says she has uncovered vital testimony from a U.S. officer who in 1943 was forced by the Nazis to watch as they exhumed thousands of Polish officers killed on Soviet leader Josef Stalin's orders.

At a news conference Wednesday in Warsaw, U.S. researcher Krystyna Piorkowska said she found the Paris-dated May 10, 1945, testimony of former American prisoner of war Lt. Col. John H. Van Vliet Jr. in the U.S. National Archives near Washington last November. It was filed among other unrelated World War II documents from the U.S. Embassy in Paris.

The sworn deposition provides evidence of Soviet responsibility for the 1940 massacre of some 22,000 Polish officers in the Katyn forest and other places in what was then the Soviet Union. The Soviet Red Army had taken the Polish officers prisoner after invading eastern Poland in September 1939.

Another report that Van Vliet made a few days later in Washington is considered missing. This has fueled speculation that the U.S. government helped cover up Soviet responsibility for the massacre out of fear that saying the truth would anger Stalin, whom the Allies were counting on to help them defeat Germany and Japan in World War II.

Politics is a dangerous thing.

Reality gets uncovered too late.

Nixon and Kissinger covered up the Pakistani genocide in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) in 1971 to keep Pakistan's General Yahya Khan on their side. The American consul in Dacca - a man with a conscience caller Archer Blood virtually revolted and committed career suicide but helped to document this. Of course the White house tapes helped too.

the USA nuked Hiroshima and Nagashaki towards the end of the war. More innocents died in those bombings. May be we can call that as a genocide? The Germans were genocidal. The British bomber raids into Germany and the destruction of many industrial cities can also be called as Genocide?

The world war itself is a Genocidal war. No matter who won and who lost. All committed Genocides when they had the opportunity.
