Default Early War History Overwiev

The start of World War 2 (as u all know) began from Germany invading Poland but with secret deal with Russia in 1939 September 1st. Poland was suddenly invaded by two powerfull nations and this has had to be not left behind in GWX map. As I rememeber almost every city of Poland in GWX after occupacion is in the hands of Germany, but some citys had to belong to Russia ?

Corect me if I'm wrong on this pls..

I'm just watching a movie right now called: Katyn
And there is showned how Germany and Russia are sharing occupied citys.

There are three colors available: blue for friendly, red for enemy and green for neutral. There is no color for Germany, or Poland, or Russia. Russia is friendly at that point, and Poland is occupied, so they are all blue. If Russia shows up as green for neutral, that may be correct, but are occupied Polish cities also neutral?

The game can only do so much.

I'm affraid it is to.. All cities of Poland that are shown in map gets blue after the occupation, so there should be at least couple of them in green to represent it under occupation of Russia, right ?

Green for Russian is right, so game for german submerine and for German USSR was friendly neitral country. And for game is marked right. USSR was neitral country.

P.S.: about Katyn - as you remember, after soviet-polish war 1920 year polish force dead more than 6000 soviet soldiers and officers caprured during withdraw soviet army. And Katyn was right answer in this polish shots soviet caprured mans. And, as I know, in Katyn was killed polish officers who is killing soviet prisoners of war after soviet-polish war only.

Wikipedia have too many politick size. For example all materials about information about explosion planes above Lockerby from US political emigrant (ex-CRU agent) all is cut in any place. In wikipedia is not authorized any data differing from western
points of view.
If you all know - please find me data in Wikipedia about killing soviet POW in Poland. If you can find this data - so you can see data before Katyn.

And if you unknow history mare than Wikipedia, so not posting in this sich

I AM TAKING NEITHER SIDE OR VIEWPOINT/OPINION HERE.........but I think quoting Wikipedia is at best the worst definitive source anyone could use to settle disagreements

Memorandum on NKVD letterhead from L. Beria to "Comrade Stalin" proposing to execute captured Polish officers, soldiers, and other prisoners by shooting. Stalin's handwritten signature appears on top, followed by signatures of Politburo members K. Voroshilov, V. Molotov, and A. Mikoyan. Signatures in left margin are M. Kalinin and L. Kaganovich, both favoring execution.




Stalin wanted the Polish out of Katyn to make room for Finns, fastest way was to shoot them. Their plan was to bring also Finnish officers, NCOs and Home Guard members to Katyn. The remaining Finnish anti communist were supposed to to be sent to Siberia, totalling atleast some 1.000.000-1.500.000 people. These were confirmed from Soviet archives after the collapse of USSR, this isnt pseudo history that was common in USSR and in Russia today.
The occupation of Finland just run into some trouble.:rotfl:

It's vary doubht document so we have data about from 1941 year from Commader West front soviet army general Pavlov. He said that during retreation soviet army german force circled soviet army near Minsk and after it Smolensk near 10 july 1941 year. All polish officers in GULAG various lager's not killed and captured german forces. In document number N-632-W from 03.03.1959 said, that in Katyn was killing 4421 people and more... from 21857 people who is killing during 1939-1940 year's polish people was 12000 and other people was russian, belorussian and other nationalities. After captired Katyn German forces said that find 37000 killiong people, when from 1939 to 10/07/41 (when German forces copturing lager GULAG in Katyn) was killing 4421 people only. Other peoples was caprured by german forces. And more in russian from allied commision in 1943 year with soviet, american, british peoples:
"Как только оттаяла земля, они извлекли из могил 5 тыс. тел поляков, причем часть их завезли к этому месту из других мест, и как могли очистили их карманы от документов с датами после мая 1940 г., поскольку никакими другими фактами невозможно было доказать, что эти трупы лежат здесь не с осени 1941 г. Затем трупы вновь зарыли и стали завозить “комиссии” для показа им “еврейских зверств”. При этих “комиссиях” трупы вырывались из земли, извлекались из карманов их одежды документы и т.д. Но когда число вырытых трупов превысило 4 тыс., немцы всю работу свернули, хотя сами утверждали, что в Катыни лежит 12 тыс. поляков; и поведение немцев понятно: далее шли необработанные ими трупы с документами до осени 1941 г.
Однако осенью 1943 года Смоленск освободила Красная Армия, и комиссия по расследованию немецких зверств в присутствии английских и американских представителей и корреспондентов начала раскапывать остальные могилы и, естественно, нашла и документы с датами 1941 г."

Sorry, but text large and my english is not good for sich translate.

More in later posts with links in docuiments.

Next about Katyn (sorry - text is large, so in russian):
About instriction Gebbels before find killing people in Katyn: "В Катыни действовала немецкая рота пропаганды и специальные офицеры, к которым Геббельс предъявлял высокие требования. На уже упомянутых инструктажах он приказывал: “Международный Красный Крест, приглашенный не только нами, но и поляками, не может более уклоняться от этого приглашения, иначе мы обрушимся на Красный Крест. Мы должны принять его очень вежливо, безо всякой пропагандистской тенденции. Мы скажем: “Нам нужна правда!” Немецкие офицеры, которые возьмут на себя руководство, должны быть исключительно политически подготовленными и опытными людьми, которые могут действовать ловко и уверенно. Такими же должны быть и журналисты, которые будут при этом присутствовать. Министр, между прочим, считает целесообразным, чтобы присутствовал кто-то из круга министерской конференции, чтобы в случае возможного нежелательного для нас оборота дела можно было соответствующим образом вмешаться. Некоторые наши люди должны быть там раньше, чтобы во время прибытия Красного Креста все было подготовлено и чтобы при раскопках не натолкнулись бы на вещи, которые не соответствуют нашей линии. Целесообразно было бы избрать одного человека от нас и одного от ОВК, которые уже теперь подготовили бы в Катыни своего рода поминутную программу”

And more - another german data (data from ex gebbels comisson member Gaek F.):
"Среди членов геббельсовской комиссии был чехословацкий профессор судебной медицины Ф. Гаек, и он так описывал в 1952 году принцип формирования комиссии: “Тогдашнее министерство внутренних дел протектората передало мне приказ гитлеровских оккупантов направиться в Катынский лес, указывая при этом, что если я не поеду и сошлюсь на болезнь (что я и делал), то мой поступок будет рассматриваться как саботаж и в лучшем случае я буду арестован и отправлен в концентрационный лагерь”. Строга была бригада Геббельса. И вот эта “международная комиссия” с угрозой концентрационного лагеря “в лучшем случае” приступила к написанию отчета со “своими” выводами по Катынскому делу. “Небезынтересно, — пишет Гаек, — происходило также составление тогдашнего отчета с подписями судебно-медицинских экспертов из оккупированных европейских стран. Некоторые не владели в такой степени немецким языком, чтобы суметь написать научный отчет. Написал его и стилизировал немецкий врач из Бреславля Бутц...”"

More about Katyn in russian:
"Не менее интересно происходило и подписание отчета, о чем свидетельствует уже другой член международной комиссии, болгарский судмедэксперт Марко Марков. Утром 1 мая 1943 года международная комиссия, побыв в Катыни 2 дня и вскрыв 9 трупов, вылетела обратно, но вместо Берлина самолет неожиданно приземлился на глухом уединенном аэродроме. “Аэродром был явно военным, — рассказал доктор Марков. — Там мы обедали, и сразу после обеда нам предложили подписать экземпляры протокола. Нам предложили их подписать именно здесь, на этом изолированном аэродроме!”

"Марков в этом заключении не сделал выводов о том, что поляки убиты в 1940 году, и, несмотря на то, что впоследствии немцы сильно на них настаивали, он не сделал их и впоследствии."

"“Предложенный венгерским профессором Ф. Оршосом метод псевдокаллуса (датировка по солевым отложениям на внутренней поверхности черепа) не нашел достаточного последующего подтверждения медицинской практикой”

"К примеру. Фотокопии части найденных в могилах документов немцы опубликовали в 1943 г. в книге “Официальные материалы о массовом убийстве в Катыни”. До захвата советских архивов геббельсовцами в 1991 г. директором Центрального государственного особого архива СССР, в котором хранились документы на польских военнопленных, был В.Н. Прибытков. И он пишет об этих “Официальных материалах...” немцев:
“...Решающий документ, приведенный в книге, представляет собой свидетельство о гражданстве, выданное капитану Стефану Альфреду Козлинскому в Варшаве 20 октября 1941 г. (с. 330). То есть этот документ, содержащийся в официальном немецком издании и извлеченный из катынской могилы, полностью перечеркивает версию гитлеровцев о том, что расстрелы были произведены весной 1940г., и показывает, что расстрелы производились после 20 октября 1941 г., то есть немцами”
