Until the revelations made by the German broadcast of the 12th April, 1943, and apart from a few words let drop at the time by the prison guards, only the testimony of scribblings on the railway wagons in which they were transported affords any indication of their destination.
The same wagons, seem to have done a shuttle service between Kozielsk and the detraining station; and on these some of the first parties to be transported had scratched the words: 'Don't believe that we are going home,' and the news that their destination had turned out to be a small station near Smolensk.
Had the German authorities ever had these 10,000 Polish officers in their hands we can be sure that they would have placed some or all of them in the camps in Germany already allotted to Polish prisoners, while the 6,000 other ranks, policemen and civil officials would have been put to forced labour.

In May 1940 most of Poles were punished for a recalcitrant attitude and transferred to the far north, to the republic of Komi.
On 5 March 1940 the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union took a decision to exterminate Polish prisoners of war detained in camps in Kozielsk, Starobielsk, Ostaszków as well as in prisons of the western Belarus and Ukraine.
As a consequence, during the period between 3 April and 13 May 1940, 4404 prisoners of war from Kozielsk were murdered (in Katyń), 3896 from Starobielsk (in Kharkov), 6287 from Ostaszków (in Kalinin, presently Tver), 3405 persons were killed in Ukraine and 3880 in Belarus - 21.872 people in total.

Katyn was the terminus for the Kozielsk inmates.
However, not all of Kozielsk's internees had been murdered, and those Polish officers who survived to join Anders' army had compiled sequential lists of the Spring 1940 departures of their campmates.

In time, these killings were investigated and punished by the Soviets who had as little use for Ukrainian nationalists as for Poles.20 Later, during the German occupation, the Ukrainians and Poles fought pitched battles against each other.21 There were approximately 15,000 Polish officers and cadets captured by the Soviets in September-October 1939.
At the Kozielsk camp there were 262 Poles of Jewish descent.22 There was also one woman, Polish aviatrix Janina Lewandowski.
The corpses identified at Katyn were buried in groups in the order of their departures from Kozielsk.37 Other evidence uncovered included tree saplings planted over the graves.

(a) Numerous survivors of the Kozielsk camp testified they saw inscriptions written by those who departed earlier: "We are being unloaded in Gniezdovo." This rail station is 12 miles west of Smolensk and 2 miles from Katyn Forest.
It is difficult to accept the theory that these men who allegedly left Kozielsk in April of 1940, to be assigned to special work units west of Smolensk by the Russians, should remain in the identical groupings until 1941 when they were allegedly murdered by the Germans.
It is an established fact that approximately 15,000 Polish prisoners were interned in three Soviet camps: Kozielsk, Starobielsk, and Ostashkov in the winter of 1939-40.

 KATYN MEMORIAL WALL - Prof. Tadeusz Romer - Statement of February 5, 1952
Already, then, in the letters I was receiving, I could find many signs of fear on the part of the families in regard to the fate of the Polish prisoners in the three camps of Kozielsk, Starobielsk and Ostaszkow.
And these camps were: Starobielsk, with 4000 prisoners, mainly servicemen; Kozielsk, with roundly speaking 4500 officers of various ranks; Ostaszkow, with more than 6500 or 6600 various military personnel.
All of them, or most of them, were put into camps of war prisoners, and a great number of them later on were transferred to the deportee camps inside Russia, in Siberia, and so on.

The Soviets he was personally dealing with during his endeavours knew these Poles had been murdered and buried by the NKVD at Katyn and elsewhere.
The detailed account of his personal life in Kozielsk is set out between pages 12/26, and very effectively rebuts the crap written about Katyn/Kozielsk by people such as Shainberg.

The title is misleading, since Slowes, a Polish-Jewish plastic surgeon, was not among the WW II Polish POWs selected by the Soviets to be secretly slaughtered at Katyn Forest in Byelorrusia, where a mass grave of some 5000 bodies of the officer corps was discovered by the Nazis in 1943.
But he was among the 15,000 Polish military personnel apprehended by the Soviets, and he was imprisoned at the Kozielsk camp--one of three POW camps--with those who would be killed at Katyn.
His tales of wartime misery are no less heartrending for being familiar, as he relates the squalid conditions of POW life and his later Polish army service, which took him to Iran, Iraq, Palestine and the Monte Casino campaign in Italy.
