Abstract

Today it is known that the mass murdering known as the Katyn massacre, was carried out on orders of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Soviet Communist Party, a decision that was made on 5th March 1940. In 1943 the Germans have published an extensive statement that among other things established that the killings have been carried out with 7.65 mm calibre cartridges, produced by Germany. The works of the international committee were carried out by the following scientists: professor Orsos (Hungary), Speelers (Belgium), professor Markov (Bulgaria), Dr. Tamsen (Denmark), professor Saxen (Finland), professor Miloslavic (Croatia), professor Palmieri (Italy), professor Hajek (Czechoslovakia), professor Naville (Switzerland), professor Subik (Slovakia) and as observer Dr. Costedoat (France). The unanimous conclusion of the experts was that the corpses have been buried for approximately three years. Professor Orsos had personally examined 150 corpses. In 1945 the Hungarian Academy of Sciences excluded him, then in 1946 the People’s Tribunal declared him a criminal of war. In November 2012 - after 66 years - the Tribunal of Budapest abolished the proceedings started in 1946 by the Pazmany Peter University. The Court left 8 (eight) days for appeals. Conclusion: Professor Dr. Orsos Ferenc is not a war criminal and there are no operative legal proceedings concerning his person.
