Only one person survived the Katyń massmurder...

I know many leftist loonies here won't like the source but I didn't know that one person actually survived the Katyń massmurder by the Soviet henchmen.

"...Professor Stanislaw Swianiewicz was the sole survivor of Katyn. He was waiting to board a bus to the forest area when an NKVD colonel arrived and pulled him out of line. Swianiewicz was an internationally recognized expert on forced labor in Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany, who had been born in Poland when it was still part of the Russian empire, and had studied in Moscow. He ended up in Siberia, and after the war emigrated to the United States, where he taught economics at the University of Notre Dame. At least one CIA analyst remembers the professor from his days in South Bend.
Those who died at Katyn included an admiral, two generals, 24 colonels, 79 lieutenant colonels, 258 majors, 654 captains, 17 naval captains, 3,420 NCOs, seven chaplains, three landowners, a prince, 43 officials, 85 privates, and 131 refugees. Also among the dead were 20 university professors; 300 physicians; several hundred lawyers, engineers, and teachers; and more than 100 writers and journalists as well as about 200 pilots. 7 It was their social status that landed them in front of NKVD execution squads. Most of the victims were reservists who had been mobilized when Germany invaded. In all, the NKVD eliminated almost half the Polish officer corps--part of Stalin's long-range effort to prevent the resurgence of an independent Poland.
Recent historical research shows that 700-900 of the victims were Polish Jews. 8 Ironically, the Germans knew this, and it complicated Goebbels' effort to portray the atrocity as a "Jewish-Bolshevik conspiracy"--a mainstay of the Nazi regime's anti-Semitic propaganda..."

Add those up and see if you get 22,000. If not, look for more information.

Katyń was just one area of those war crimes, it happened all over Soviet Union.

What are you talking about? Our great socialist house speaker Pelosi herself despises CIA and our military, that's what I'm talking about. No secrets about the left's hate toward CIA and Pentagon.

I thought it was a great narrative of what happened and figured some of the leftist fanatics and Russo-appologist Poles would attack the site's credibility, that's why.

I think that is a blatant lie. The Soviets made a preselection of their victims. The ones whom were meek ended up in the Berling division. What makes you think only one Pole survived the massacre?
