I guess there is a back-story to go along with it. It would get pretty darn mind-numbing to sit through two hours of that.

And to think that our country was "allied" with such murderers not long after.

War indeed makes for strange bedfellows.

Backstory:
The Germans and Russians jointly carved up Poland in 1939. The Russians were suspicious and perhaps a bit afraid of the Polish. So on the Russian side of conquered Poland, the Commies rounded up all the Polish military officers, along with police officers, teachers, priests, lawyers, and even Boy Scout leaders, and took them into the forest for mass executions/murders. Basically anyone perceived as capable of organizing any opposition to the Soviets was murdered.

Europe was NOT freed in 1945. If there is one trite and incredibly untrue saying that Americans use far too often and which drives me up the wall is that "we saved Europe".Bullshit,we handed over half the continent for the next 50 years including with no sense of irony the country over which WWII began.

The Poles got fucked,plain and simple. The fact that so few know about the US and especially the Brits sending back the formerly free Poles and Czechs who fought in their uniforms to be murdered by the Commies is nothing short of a travesty and a gross insult to their memory.

Agreed on all counts. The western Allies are as culpable as the Soviets in the murder of all those "repatriated" to Eastern Europe.

Looks like an interesting flick.

By the way, in Operation Barbarossa, the Germans began finding these mass graves and reported them to the international community as war crimes in 1943 (yes, very ironic).

Sadly, despite getting reports from both American and British investigators that the Soviets were indeed responsible, both the USA and Britain swept the issue under the rug for political expediency and took an official stance blaming the Germans.

The U.S. and British governments actually aided the Soviets in such endeavors as part of our alliance. WWII was a dark time. I just can't view it as the great crusade like others do.

"Largely Jewish NKVD"? Not hardly. Jews were marginalized, discriminated against and ostracized in Soviet Russia. They weren't herded into death camps, but they weren't on Stalin's list of buddies.

Lots of anti-semitism in Soviet Russia.

Lots of anti-semitism in Poland (before, during and after WW2).

The Polish Home Army didn't aid the January 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Rising and paid for it in spades when the Soviets held up their advance in August 1944 so that the Nazis could defeat the Home Army's own Warsaw Rising (the Soviets wanted to install their own puppet "Polish" communist government and so let the Nazis eliminate the home-grown Polish resistance that was loyal to the Polish Government-in-Exile in London).

I understand that a contributing factor to Stalin's death was that he'd had the Jewish doctors in the Moscow area rounded up shortly before his stroke, so that when he had his stroke there was a local shortage of doctors qualified to treat him.

That said, I was under the impression that many (though not all) Jews were supportive of the initial Bolshevik Revolution, only to find themselves marginalized again once the Soviets came into power.

I read recently (I can't remember the book, but it was a serious one) that between WWI and WWII Poland had the best intelligence service in Europe, if not the world, and had a network in Ukraine that was just about good enough to pull Ukraine out of the USSR. This (in addition to historical loathing) is supposedly the basis for WWII-era Soviet paranoia over Poland.

That, together with the fact that there was residual Russian indignation from the Poles conquering as far as Moscow a few centuries before.

This is the truth. After the war we fucked Poles further by "repatriating" free Poles who fought with the Allies to a socialist hellhole, against their wishes, and many were given the same treatment. We fucked them by supporting the SOviet army and FDR fucked them by giving away eastern Europe to the Marxists at the Yalta Accords.

While the Jewish comment at the beginning of the video is obviously uncalled for, the point is that the Soviets mass murdered anyone they thought could even possibly organize opposition.

Not really, most Russian Jews (my family included) were poor and didn't only live in the large cities but at least half lived in small villages. These people had no interest in politics. They were persecuted by the Russians long before the Nazis but the progroms before the war of course paled to the Nazi mass murders. I'm sure some Jews supported the commies at first thinking that they would actually practice what they preached about equality. But that faded fast and like the Doctors purge you mentioned, most Jews were treated very badly by the Soviets. Just not as badly as by the Nazis. After all, the Protocols were written by the Czars secret police, and many of these same assholes became NKVD.

There were Jewish Polish Army officers murdered at Katyn too. But that stuff about "mostlyJewish NKVD officers is bullshit. My father was in the Red Army during the war. He joined after loosing his family in the Holocaust, then joining the partisans then finally the Red Army. He told me that most of the Russian officers didn't give him problems for being Jewish but the NKVD commissars did. He also said many of these "political" officers would quickly die in combat, often as soon as the Russians encountered enemy fire.

Of course those deaths were entirely coincidental and they always were reported to have died while leading a brave charge. That fragging was never investigated during the 2 years he was in. After the war he found my mother and crossed to the American side of Munich, ending up here.

Ah, from a site called "Jew Watch" c'mon, Yagoda NKVD chief was a Jew and executed by Stalin. There were thousands of secret police, some were Jews and they defiantly had incentive to get payback for centurys of Polish, Russian, Bellorussian, Lithuanian and Latvian persecution. But they were not the majority. Per capita more Jews were probably murdered by Stalin than any other minority in Eastern Europe.

Blaming Jews for Katyn is flat out untrue. But if you ask a Russian they'll flip responsibility to anyone except themselves.

No, but we did ship a lot of people (can't remember if that included Poles or not) at gunpoint to the Soviets so they could be liquidated. The British did as well. In one notable case the victims were literally turned into fertilizer. Those caught escaping were shot at by American troops. Fortunately a few managed to get away to tell their stories. The Allies did screw Poland, not including the Soviets. And then of course there were the Soviets and Nazis.

I was reading something by an Austrian and he was of the opinion that despite the destruction of the two world wars, the Allies should have while they had the chance gone against the Soviets, using the bomb if necessary since the Soviets did not have it yet. He saw his country (Austro-Hungarian Empire) destroyed and then fought over again (as Austria) but thought that things would have been better if the war had continued against the Soviets. In retrospect I think he was right. The toll was ultimately worse. Sadly, the American Left dominated politics and part of the military ranks and that majorly contributed to our policies.

In April of 1940, Vasili Blokhin performed 300 executions per night. He engineered a deranged system in which the prisoners were individually led into a small chamber. The chamber was painted red and was known as the “Leninist room.” The room was specially designed with padded walls for soundproofing, a sloping concrete floor with a drain and hose, and a long wall for the prisoners to stand against. Vasili Blokhin was outfitted with a leather butcher’s apron, cap, and shoulder-length gloves to protect his uniform. He had no procurator present and did not read any death sentences to the victims. Over and over again, Blokhin pushed the prisoner against the wall and shot him once in the base of the skull with a German Walther Model 2 .25 ACP pistol.

The use of a German pocket pistol, which was commonly carried by Nazi intelligence agents, provided plausible deniability of the executions if the bodies were discovered later. Blokhin had his men escort prisoners to the basement, confirm identification, and then remove the bodies and hose down the blood after each execution. He was the primary executioner and, true to his reputation, liked to work continuously and rapidly without interruption. The executions were conducted at night, starting at dark and continuing until dawn. The bodies were continuously loaded on flat-bed trucks through a back door and buried in mass graves. Vasili Blokhin worked without pause for ten hours each night, executing an average of one prisoner every three minutes.
