This is so convoluted by goebbels propaganda and the west’s eagerness to repeat nazi propaganda. Does anyone have any good sources on it? I don’t really trust goebbels or the liberals that repeat what he said.

      I don’t know why you’re saying this to me. I’m not making an argument one way or the other about Katyn, as I said already.

      I was just letting you know how completely and abjectly wrong your statements about that website were. It did cite sources, and one of them being in first person isn’t proof of credibility or lack thereof.

      That was the sum total of my comment.

      I truly don’t care to read what you wrote about Katyn because I’m not interested in the topic one way or the other. Just thought that you, as a person engaged in the conversation, should know that your dismissal of the website was predicated on a complete misunderstanding of the very website you were dismissing. As someone who does seem to be interested in engaging in this topic, you should at least engage based on the realities of what people are linking to you instead of your ill-informed preconceptions. If you’d like to explore whether the sources linked are accurate or reputable, that’s fine, but you should at least read them before making false claims.

      You should also cut the whole “use your brain” and “just think” rhetoric, I promise you you’re not intellectually superior and being condescending in your comments isn’t going to win you anything.

      Did you even read any articles? I provided plenty in other post. All your questions are answered there.

      Germany had neither the capabilities or motive.

      Seriou-fucking-sly? No capabilities? Did you missed every other nazi mass murder in the war? Killing 20000 people was completely routinely for them. No motives? It was like killing four birds with one stone: they were killing polish officials anyway in occupied territories since the war started, they were in the middle of Barbarossa so they just killed them and moved, it provided them with one of the best anticommunist pieces ever, and allowed - in the absolutely critical time - to sow political discord between polish London government supported by British and USSR.

      insane effort

      What insane effort? They killed the people literally as quick stop, just one of many massacres, not even bothering to set up any different methods than usual, then send some bogus commission and accused their enemies of their own war crime. Neither of that was any much effort.
