Grover Furr (1 July 2013). "The "Official" Version of the Katyn Massacre Disproven?". Socialism and Democracy, Taylor & Francis. Retrieved 18 April 2020. The officially accepted version of the Katyn Massacre can be read on its Wikipedia page... This page is relentlessly anticommunist and anti-Stalinist. It makes no attempt to be objective or neutral, in that it has no serious discussion of the scholarly controversy about this question. It is useful only as a short and accurate summary of the "official" version.
The nazis committed the Katyn massacre and blamed it on the Soviet Union to drive a wedge between the allies. This page is regurgitating nazi propaganda. Please fact check this 140.228.176.91 (talk) 14:51, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Was the witness of the Soviet-Russian Katyn Crime, Stanisław Swianiewicz, having delusions when he witnessed what he did in 1940?
However, after the Battle of Krasnobród on 23 September, he was taken prisoner of war by the Soviets. Through the transfer camp in Putyvl, he was interned in the NKVD camp in Kozelsk, together with several thousand other Polish officers, professors, border guards and policemen. Interrogated by kombrigVasili Mikhaylovich Zarubin, Swianiewicz spoke fluent Russian, which he was apparently found useful. After the start of the Katyn Massacre in the spring of 1940, he was attached to a group of about 100 Polish officers being moved by train to a small station in Gniezdovo, near Katyn. There, all of his comrades were massed in buses with blindfolded windows and transported to the mass murder site, but Swianiewicz himself was withdrawn from the transport.FeldmarschallGneisenau (talk) 13:55, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The website www.katyn.org.au which has a broad range of Katyn materials.
It's author has passed away, and the site is no longer being maintained, and is at risk, I wonder if one of the team with good topic knowledge might please consider reviewing it and seeing what might be saved. I as executor, I can grant relevant permissions to the material, subject to any existing citations being maintained. RussellTheKiwi (talk) 08:16, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article says: "At the trials in 1946, Soviet General Roman Rudenko raised the indictment, stating "one of the most important criminal acts for which the major war criminals are responsible was the mass execution of Polish prisoners of war shot in the Katyn forest near Smolensk by the German fascist invaders",[78] but failed to make the case and the U.S. and British judges dismissed the charges.[79] Only 70 years later did it become known that former OSS chief William Donovan had succeeded in getting the American delegation in Nuremberg to block the Katyn indictment". That's wrong. The indictment #3 indicates the katyn massacre. For example, Hermann Goering was found guilty on all four indictments.
