you seriously want to compare the Katyn massacre to what the Nazis perpetrated? Was it a war crime? Absolutely. Differing accounts put the dead at 8,000 to 22,000. Do I wish it wasn't done? I would much rather have had a freer Poland than one under the communist regime (and I am not a huge fan of the Poles).
The Katyn massacre is actually small in the panoply of crimes committed by the Soviet Union like Stalin's purges and the famine in the Ukraine.
Want a list of Shtetls with populations of 8,000 or greater that were wiped out? It probably goes into 3 figures. Whole villages with families from the grandparents to the last child and zero survivors. Poland had 3 million Jews when the war started, about 10% of its population, and completely wiped out. The rest of the Poles suffered at the hands of the Nazis as well and I am sure to the tune of many many more than 22,000. The Russians ended that death toll and that inhumane occupation and extermination. After that your average citizen had a chance to survive if they repeated the right dogma to the right people. They would no longer be hunted down like vermin just because of their genetics.
Meet and talk to the number of survivors I have and you might change your tune. The inhumane depravity of the Nazis had was taken to a level never before seen in modern times.
Let me get this right, and i am not saying you are wrong or want to insult you.
First you state a lot of inhuman stuff that was done by the soviet union, but then you blame the nazis in the end? How does that work?
Both sides were incredibly inhumane, and the war brought the worst out of all people, but both sides did it! And even though the nazis did it systematically, the soviets were also anti-semits ( right pronounciation?) and hated the jews probably just as much as the germans!
Whatever happened, whatever the game shows, should NOT be taken as seriously nowadays and it shouödnt stop you from playing some fun factions
