Summary: Mass graves of Polish officers in Katyn Forest and Russians at Vinnitsa in the Ukraine are Europe's final warning against Bolshevism.
Description: Film moves from the Dnieper and the houses where the OGPU killers "held wild orgies" to the mass graves of 12,000 Poles now uncovered at Katyn. Some of the disinterred corpses have sand in their windpipes, others bound wrists and bullet holes in the neck. Personal effects facilitate identification of corpses, including General Smorawinski's. 1940 OGPU massacre of these Polish POWs, said by Stalin to have become Soviet citizens, is confirmed by members of a European Commission including ex-President Kozłowski , former Polish Army colleagues and representatives of the European press who visit the site. A mass is read. Meanwhile European experts visiting Vinnitsa have confirmed that the Soviet Russians liquidated countless thousands of their fellow citizens. Relatives look on as corpses are disinterred and identified by bibles and Tsarist mementos before reburial in a mass grave consecrated by Bishop Gregory. German officer heils before laying a wreath. Commentary warns that Katyn and Vinnitsa show the real face of Bolshevism which is nothing other than a Jewish organisation for the annihilation of all culture and civilisation in Europe and the whole world.
