Abstract

The Katyn Massacre of more than 14,000 Polish officers and intelligentsia by the Soviet Union was one of the worst military-against-military atrocities of modern European warfare. Often overlooked because of the vicious Nazi genocide of Jews during World War II, Katyn deserves more attention from scholars because of Allied support of the Soviets to keep the alliance together during the war and the classified evidence that ran counter to press coverage. This article uses original sources—English-language press reports and intelligence documents—to better understand what the public was told and what the Allied governments knew about Katyn.
