The Tragedy of Katyn: The German Perspectiv

Summary/Abstract: On 13 April, 1943, the German Radio news edition made clear to the world that in a small village near Smolensk, in the former Soviet territory, the German authorities discovered a mass grave, contained what it seemed to be Polish officers, captured by the Soviets during the September 1939 offensive. The author presents the German point of view of the time over this much debated affair. It was obvious that they were right in putting the blame on the Soviets also for this abominable crime, but the Nazis lack the necessary credibility. In the end, despite some efforts to establish the truth and to indicate the real guilt, the Allies refused to go to the end, fearing that the Soviet Union will leave the Nuremberg Trial.
