Published on Sep 20, 2022
In the wake of their non-aggression pact of 1939, National Socialist Germany and the Soviet Union soon set about dividing Poland between them, invading from both West and East.

However, by April 1943, when the Nazis announced they had uncovered evidence of a large-scale massacre in the Katyn Forest, Stalin was among their adversaries. Each side blamed the other for the mass graves discovered there, and the brutal deaths of thousands of Polish officers and others regarded as a threat to the occupiers.

ï»¿Only when the Soviet Union finally collapsed, decades later, was the Katyn massacre officially acknowledged to have been the work of Stalin's secret police, the NKVD. This film tells the chilling story of the Katyn massacre from both sides: the victims and the perpetrators.
