    I love how the Nazis were causing havock across the east massacring everything to colonise the land they felt entitled to because of their supposed master race. Yet the moment the soviets start pushing them back and shattering their delusions they immediately call fowl and point to a massacre that looked like what they themselves had been doing the entire time. Basically saying to the west “No no guys stop fighting us. It’s the soviets that are the REAL bad guys look what they did! You should be fighting alongside us instead”

      Yep, Geobbels was even upset at first that the Nazis rediscovered Katyn and thought it would be bad PR for them, before inventing the soviet story.
