I did a paper years ago on the Katyn Forest Massacre as it is sometimes called because my late Father had Polish relatives on his mothers side. He once showed me a family portrait last taken in Krakow, Poland around late 1938 and then nothing afterwards. He fought in WWII and spent most of his time in the Italian campaign but after the war wanted to go into Poland and find out what exactly happened to his lost relatives. But he never did, as better sense prevailed. As we all know the Soviets would of thrown him in jail as being a American spy or something and he would of disappeared.
As to the Katyn Massacre it wasn't until 1990 that the Soviet Union finally admitted to the real truth. But it wasn't just Polish officers that were executed but doctors, lawyers, writers, teachers, policeman and even priests were included. Pretty much anybody who seemed to be an internal threat to the Soviet Union. As to the Polish air crash in April 2010 I have this deep feeling that it was intentional and came from the highest authority inside Russia itself.
Check out the orders directly from the Soviet Union secret files from 1940. Beria was Stalin's personal executor and was widely known to have killed millions without blinking an eye.
