The place of mass executions and burials of Polish servicemen. Modern propaganda uses the anti-Soviet version of Dr. Goebbels, according to which the Poles were shot by soldiers of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs (NKVD), but this version has significant miscalculations: 1. In 1940, in the immediate vicinity of the burial sites, the active dachas of the NKVD leaders functioned, and in the conditions of sandy soil in the aquifers of the earth, thousands of decomposing bodies would make the wells of drinking water in the dachas unusable; 2. The German photographs clearly show traces of corrosion on pistol cartridges, which means that they were made of bimetal, which began to be used in the military industry since the spring of 1941. 3. The buried Poles were dressed in military uniforms, and in Soviet prisons and camps, as required by the Rules, prisoners were kept and sent to execution in prison uniforms - their personal belongings were kept separately. 4. The documents do not contain any evidence of local collaborators who would necessarily show the Germans who occupied Smolensk the places of "bloody crimes" of the Soviet government. 5. A hospital was located in the city of Mednoye, which is confirmed by the absence of bullet marks on the exhumed turtles in the parietal region.
