Katyń
Apr–May 1940 — The NKVD executes some 22,000 captured Polish officers, police and intelligentsia in the Katyń forest and elsewhere, by quota and by name. The USSR admits it only in 1990. Remember them.
This is one scene of Chapter 11 — Barbarossa: The Gamble That Ends the Gambles in The Road to War, 1931–1941.
