The article reports that the U.S. and Great Britain suppressed evidence of Soviet involvement in the massacre of 22,000 Polish prisoners in Katyn Forest in Russia in April and May 1940. According to documents released by the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, the move by the U.S. and Great Britain was aimed at maintaining close relations with Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.
