		Starobielsk and Ostashkov to an uncertain destination: how it looks, for instance, to General Sikorski, who there lost Captain Fuhrman, his former A.D.C. and close personal friend; to M. Morawski.
		In March of 1940 word went round the camp at Kozielk, Starobielsk and Ostashkov that, under orders from Moscow, the prisoners were to be moved to camps where conditions would be more agreeable, and that they might leak forward to eventual release.
		All were cheered by the prospect of a change from the rigours which prisoners must endure to the hazards and vicissitudes of relative freedom in Soviet or German territory.

		There was another delay until 8, 11 and 12 May on which days the last transports left Starobielsk camp, and it had been noted that each daily group had been selected from many different prison blocks and never included groups of friends but in total comprised men unknown to each other.

	Churchill-->FDR 8/13/43
		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.
		Such doubts are not diminished by rumours which have been current during the last two and a half years that some of the inmates of Kozielsk, Starobielsk and Ostashkov had been transported towards Kolyma, Franz Joseph Land or Novaya Oemlya, some or all of these being killed en route.
		It may be that this was so, and it may be that some less number than ten thousand odd were destroyed and buried at Katyn; but whether the massacre occurred (if it did occur) in one place or two places or three places naturally makes no difference to Polish sentiments.

		When we arrived at our destination, the railway station of the town of Starobielsk, and the guards opened the doors of the cattle cars to let us out, we were so weak that, after jumping out, we were falling by the railway tracks without being able to move.
		At Starobielsk we were quartered in an old orthodox church, which had been converted into barracks by the installation of three-story, prison type, sleeping platforms.
		Looking at those names and signatures, we had no idea that those men were no longer alive and that we were looking at messages written by martyrs whose lives were taken in such an unjust and cruel way.

		As most people now know the Soviet accusation about Katyn fell to the ground and it is a matter for international shame that the whole subject was dropped and no mention of Katyn appears in the final judgement of the Nuremberg trials.
		The liquidation of the three camps at Kozielsk, Starobielsk and Ostashkow was centrally planned, and as we know, the inmates of Kozielsk were taken to the nearest conveniently secret place, and there shot - at Katyn.

		Anyway yeah basically in 1943 the Germans discovered the remains of over 4000 of the 14,500 Polish officers and intellectuals - who disappeared in 1940 (peacetime between the USSR and Germany) from the POW camps at Kozielsk, Ostashkov and Starobielsk - in the Katyn Forest in Russia.
