describes ho later they ere shipped aay from the prisoncamps n the Spring of 1940, hen the Communists thought thatthat the Germans oud drive the Alies out of urope

They ere slaughtered by te Soviets at Katyn Forest, nearSmolns

He describes some of the conditions found later by observersie American infantry oficer Col on H Van Vliet, J ho asa German prisoner of ar inspected the Katyn Forest massacresite some years later.

On Page , Chapter under the heading The MissngDocument the author describes very graphicaly ho Col VanVliet ent to Washington to report his visit to Katyn Forest inhic he had discovered that the Soviets ere the murderers andnot the Germans He as tod to report to Maj.

n this boo, Time Stopped at 6 30, a fascinating account ofthe atter is presented hic e il not go into ere ecept tomention that Gen Bissell did admit to the nvestigatingCommittee that, in 1945, if the American peope had nonabout Van Viets report (at the time that the San FranciscoUnited Natins Organzation meeting as being held to activatethe consprational program set up at Yata), Soviet Russia mightnever have become a member of tis international organization
