Stalin approved this. Some 22,000 Polish prisoners would be executed in April and May 1940. #WW2 pic.twitter.com/3TeRhm7LTd

The Soviets executed 22K Polish Officers during April & May in 1940?
Well this kinda explains why the Poles are so hardcore in their belief that the Russians are about to invade! I'm sure events like this one are taught in the Polish military academy during the first minutes of the first hour of the first day there...
