In Poland the Hitlerite aggressor took revenge because Poland did not follow others in capitulating and surrendering without fighting but. on the contrary. by fighting inflicted heavy losses on the Nazis. This revenge was a determined extermination and destruction of the Polish nation using methods whose monstrosity is beyond most exuberant imagination. The Russian aggressor. not to be outdone in the destruction of the Polish nation by his Hitlerite ally. used an indescribable terror throughout the Polish territories occupied by him and started mass deportation of the Polish population to Siberia. This deportation was interrupted only by Hitlers attack on Russia in June 1941. Until that time. Russia succeeded in deporting over one and a half million of Poles. The horrible conditions in which the deported Polish people found themselves in Russia cannot be described. The tragedy of the Polish officers and soldiers taken by Russia as prisoners of war in 1939 is not describable either. The graves of about 15.000 Polish officers and soldiers. prisoners of war. murdered by the Soviets in Katyn in the spring of 1940. were discovered in 1943.
