10 reviewsWhen Wehrmacht soldiers discovered some of the graves three years later, the Soviets succeeded in convincing the US President Roosevelt of the German's being the perpetrators of the crime.
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill had no clear picture of the crime, and therefore made no public comments.
Using thousands of recently released US documents, this book refutes the popular thesis that the Western Allies deliberately lied about the Katyn case in order to not to endanger the alliance with Marshall Stalin.
As well as consulting Polish and Russian documentation on this war crime, for the first time, the diaries of the Nazi Minister of Propaganda Dr Joseph Goebbels, who wrote a great deal about Katyn, have also been examined.
Completely new for research is the role that Adolf Hitler's opponents in the Wehrmacht played in solving the crime - at the Nuremberg trial they convinced the US delegation that those responsible for the executions were not from the SS or SD, but from the NKVD.
Nevertheless, it took until 1990 for Kremlin chief Gorbachev to finally admit to Soviet responsibility.
Today in Putin's Russia, however, there is a tendency once more to keep quiet about the crime or even to blame the Germans once again.
