Yes Mark you are correct. Stalin did massacre the Polish Officer Corp. but I (and I may be wrong) but I believe he also did a similar dastardly deed with the Ukeranian Officer Corp. This may have been sometime after WW2 though. You will have to forgive an old man of 84 if I have some memory lapses. I believe with the act of some of these Political and Military God Kings that there is an unknown underlying reason of which we have no control, another example Lord Louie's insistance on the Dieppe raid after its early exposure to the Germans.
