The massacre, what was made by NKVD (MGB) in the Katýn Forest, Poland, where this organization liquidated or murdered Polish officers in 1939-1940. The massacre was ordered by the head of NKVD and the reason, why the Soviet authorities were so silent about this particular action, was that those executions were made to cover the Soviet co-operatives identities and some officers who were co-operatives got new identities in that operation.
Some of those traitors might mark as executed in Katýn. The shootings of those officers were done in various places in the Baltic area, and there were stories that they began in the October 1939, and the victims of the executions were stored in the flesh storages, where they NKVD was kept them in cold. When we are seeing the film about this case, we will notice, that younger officer like gives orders to general in charge, and I don´t know how many interviews the filmmaker was made for his documentary films scenes, what was played by actors, but if younger officer gives orders to general, we might think, that this general have not got very much popularity.
We remember Katýn because those murdered people were officers. NKVD made many more murders, where it was shot ordinary people and none of those victims would not get the memory statues. So is Katýn remembered only because those victims were officers? When we are thinking about the shootings, we must understand that chief of NKVD, general Yezhov was executed after this action. And the order was given by Joseph Stalin, who gave personal orders to eliminate those officers Or this is what Yezhov was claimed. But as we know, this man was a drug addict, who used opiates.
And this made him the good person for the tool for Stalin, and he was easy to blame, because of his unpopularity. So was Yezhov only the shield, who covered some other man´s crimes, and when he was sent to the grave, there were many people, who would be more guilty than this unpopular man, who is known as the drug addiction and one of the most notorious killers in history. Yezhov was the man, who planned the execution room, and this was the thing, what he was proud. But many people think that Yezhov was too impulsive for plan anything more than next heroin dose.
So who made those rooms, where victims were shot is actually the mystery. When the shootings were done in Katýn there were not used the standard execution patrons, and that´s why the walls of the shooting cabinets were covered by blood and the executioners were walked in the blood, what was the very bad mistake because the prisoners were alerted and that was taken executioners in danger. And maybe some of the executioners were made mistakes, and shot their comrades by an accident when they came backward of the victim, who started to fight at the wrong moment. If the shooter didn´t use the silencer, could prisoners warned too early, and maybe some of them were too tough for those executioners.
If the shooter were taken some drugs, there might be the situation, where the gun would get by the wrong person, and of course, if the shooter was drunk, that might scare the persons, who kept hold the prisoners, and that might cause the situation, where the prisoner could free himself. Maybe some prisoners managed to escape if they would get the gun of the shooter, and I believe that they would not tell that thing anywhere. But this was only the speculation. But when we are talking about this very bad crime, we must ask one question. How NKVD chose the persons, who were shot in that place? Did they know something, what NKVD didn't want them to know? How those killing lists were made, and who made them? There were much Polish soldiers in the Soviet army in 1940´s at the war against Germany.
