« on: April 11, 2010, 11:55:34 am »By the way, the reason Stalin ordered to kill all those officers is because he held a grudge against Poland from back in 1920 where the Poles attacked the red army (togethers with the Brits, French, Americans and the white army) and defeated Stalin and captured like 3000 troops and broughty them back to Poland as POWs and most of them died from disease or starved to death. So in my opinion it's totally justified.
As a resident of Israel you should be more thoughtful while stating that murdering over 20000 people is 'totally justified'.

During this war between two countries experiencing great socioeconomic difficulties, and often unable to care for their own populations, the treatment of prisoners of war was far from adequate,[1][2][3] with tens of thousands on both sides, in Russian and Polish camps, dying of communicable diseases. Between 16,000 to 20,000 of Soviet POWs - out of 80,000 - died in Polish camps;[4] and a similar number of Polish POWs - out of about 51,000 - died in Soviet and Lithuanian camps.[3]
