Fair use rationale for Image:Katyn film.jpg

Image:Katyn film.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Controversy

The citations in this part are about Katyn Massacre, but not about the Wajda's movie. They should be removed from this article. Ilya78 (talk) 23:45, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the release date I can imagine that the article in Russian paper was a reaction to the film, so it belongs here. I wouldn't use the term Controversy though. --ro|3ek (talk) 00:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The current section seems more relevant to the massacre than the film; I suggest moving it there.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 04:39, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Diary

Were any diaries, such as the one shown in the film, actually recovered in real life? Badagnani (talk) 05:48, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently there was. I read a review of the film that said many evidence were shipped by the Nazis by train back to Germany as they were retreating from Poland. The train was bombed by the allies, so much evidence was lost. However, someone had made a copy of a diary that was part of the shipment. All this need to be verified; it is an interesting question. On the onset, it seems the director didn't make that up. In another interview the director said that many scenes in the movie are based on real testimonies.

film about the 1940 Katyn massacre

It's rather about the wives, not about the massacre.Xx236 (talk) 13:30, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
