I am sure as some of you know today is a Public Holiday in Poland and also Cud na Wisdla - Battle of Warsaw 1920.

The Battle of Warsaw (sometimes referred to as the Miracle at the Vistula, Polish: Cud nad Wisłą) was the decisive battle of the Polish-Soviet War, which began soon after the end of World War I in 1918 and lasting until the Treaty of Riga (1921).

had a quick look at the link - interesting... but why did so many poles 'disappear' compared to the russians...?

"Estimated Bolshevik losses were 10,000 killed, 500 missing, 10,000 wounded and 66,000 taken prisoner, compared with Polish losses of some 4,500 killed, 10,000 missing and 22,000 wounded."

LOL ! A large part of these people changed the side and fought for us, others were affraid to come back - killing those, who were POWs of the enemy was well known in the SU long before WW2. The whole thing was made up in late 80's as "anti-Katyń" - we can't deny Katyń anymore but let's show that they are no better.
