Establishing the date of the massacre
We have to look further into the date (at the very least figuring out the exact year) of the massacre, knowing that we likely won't have fullproof evidence. The page states that the massacre happened in 1941, but logically it couldn't have happened before the Nazis moved into the forest, in 1943. However they may have killed the officers earlier and moved them to this spot to pin it on the Soviets. What Furr said in his article is that the badge at another site, dated 1941, contradicts that Katyn took place in 1940 like the Nazis claimed. What we can say in the meantime is that the massacre took place between 1941 and 1943. — Comrade CriticalResist (talk) 18:24, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
