After 20 years of full liberty. the independent Polish nation was once again invaded. On the one hand bloodthirsty armies of Hitlers Third Reich crossed the Polish frontiers and within 1 month had the entire country in complete control. murdering or executing all opposition. On the other hand Hitlers allies. the Soviet Union. marched into Poland from the East and within 3 months of its occupation deported some 1 1/2 million people. who were shipped to the farthest regions of the U.S.S.R. and put into the infamous slave labor camps. More than 14.000 Polish officers were massacred by the NKVD. and in the years that followed the Soviet occupation of Polish soil. some 2 million Poles. disappeared. never to be accounted for. bringing the total of Poles slaughtered to some 7 million souls. In July of this year the Polish puppet regime will loudly celebrate the 21st anniversary of Polands "liberation." one of the most tragic events history has known.
