MASS MURDER AT KATYN: COMPLETE OFFICIAL 1943 GERMAN FORENSIC REPORT
[[link removed]]
_MASS MURDER AT KATYN_: THE ONLY COMPLETE ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE
1943 “OFFICIAL MATERIAL ON THE MASS MURDER OF KATYN, COMPILED ON
BEHALF OF THE GERMAN FOREIGN OFFICE BASED ON DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE,
EDITED AND PUBLISHED BY THE GERMAN INFORMATION CENTER.” TRANSLATED
AND INTRODUCED BY ARTHUR KEMP BA.
[MASS MURDER KATYN]
[hhttps://barnesreview.org/product/mass-murder-at-katyn/]
The very first-ever full English translation of the complete official
1943 German forensic report on the mass murder of Polish Army officers
by the Soviet Union’s secret police in the forest of Katyn.
Dismissed as “propaganda” and ignored for nearly 50 years, this
report was completely accurate, and, if anything, an understatement of
the murderous nature of Soviet Bolshevism.
The meticulous report starts with an overview of the basic facts
surrounding the discovery of the mass graves and then produces a
series of eye-witnesses accounts of the Poles being moved to the
execution area.
Next, the reader is given a thorough account of the environment and
its effect upon buried bodies—this establishes the time of death
beyond question—before providing a series of postmortem studies on
the bodies. These post-mortem report—carried out by an unbiased
international team of doctors, overseen by the Red Cross and Allied
Prisoners of War brought in to observe proceedings—revealed that the
victims had all been executed by single shots to the back of the
head—a painstaking and brutal way to individually execute the
thousands of victims discovered in the mass graves.
It also then provides a full copy of the major exchanges between the
International Red Cross and other parties on the matter, while the
next section details the Allied response to the revelations, which in
summary consisted of a pretence that the murders had not taken place,
or, if they had, that they had been committed by the Germans.
The report then provides a full list of the names the postmortem
investigations were able to identify and ends with a complete
photographic record of the mass graves, the postmortems, and the items
recovered from the scene.
The Communist atrocity at Katyn—downplayed and often ignored by the
media—was a turning point in the propaganda war of not only the
Second World War, but also of all post-war propaganda—because it was
the Soviet Union’s desire for revenge over National Socialist
Germany’s exposure of the Katyn massacre which led to the first
“mass genocide” allegations against the Nazis following the
capture of the German concentration camps in Poland.
This report has only ever been partially translated into English
before. This first-ever full translation contains the complete
original text, and all 83 original photographs. Also includes 18 new
footnotes, in addition to the document’s original footnotes,
explaining events and details to the present-day reader.
In addition, it contains a brand-new introduction which, drawing upon
post-war documentation and evidence, provides a complete background to
the events at Katyn, including the full extent of the murders which
was not available to the Germans in 1943.
* This is not a “photocopy” but a high-quality digital
reproduction made from a rare and expensive original.
