Polish POWS

What happened to the Polish POWs in the Soviet Union? Xx236 12:46, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

See if you can get a hold of Karpus book Jeńcy polscy w niewoli (1919-1922) to answer that question...-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  18:34, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Note: I have access to that book. Some notes: Polish casualties from Nov 1918 - Dec 1920: KIA, 47571; WIA, 113518; MIA 51351 based on Sikorkski's 'Nad Wisla i Wkra' (p. VII). By the time of Riga treaty number of Polish POWs in SU was unknown. 25440 soldiers returned form Russia, about 3000 from Lithuania and 2000 from Germany. About 20000 (39%) of missing probably died as POWs; most of them in SU (p.VIII). He provides no further interpretation of that data, most of his book is composed of documents and translations. They concern both Soviet and Lithuanian POW camps and are full of expected descriptions of forced labor, poverty, dieseas, hunger, robbery (including of clothes in winter), and occasional reports of murder. He also clearly states that Russian claims that many Soviet soldiers died as Polish POW is political propaganda designed as anti-Katyn and based on false data.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  20:39, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

WERS

See pages 241-245 (Polish edition); should be similar in English.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  13:01, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Removal of refs

Please explain the removal of this info, in detail, here. Thank you, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:50, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I had twice asked you to explain you reason for inclusion of that material since the first part is not backed up by sources, and the second, concerns the Polish-Ukrainian conflict of 1918, has nothing to do with the Polish Soviet War opf 1919-1920. The wording as it currently is corresponds to the sources, although it's not terribly insightful information, just simply more of the fringe Piotrowksi-Lukas view that Jews are to blame for their own murders.
