The Allies knew from the beginning who the perpetrators of the Katyn Massacre were. They would've kept that lie going if it weren't for Ray Madden.
Actually, they'd have kept that lie going until they suddenly 'discovered' that it was the Soviets all along when the Cold War started. In 1948 or something.
Like they suddenly discovered that Saddam Hussein using chemical weapons was Very Bad when they wanted to justify a war against him... when at the time he was using them, they were supporting him with arms and satellite data, and even covering for his use of those very same chemical weapons.
Madden Commission in the 50s. That's why I mentioned him.
I didn't know about that, but it's interesting that it turned out that they did it when the Cold War started. Of course, you don't exactly have to be a genius to figure that out.
The Nuremburg Judges were going to prosecute Wehrmacht officers for Katyn (at the insistence of the Soviets) until the OSS and MI6 unofficially informed the Allied judges that the identity of the Katyn perpetrators was an open secret and had been for years. The Nuremburg trials, as a whole, were decried as show trials at the time by respectable legal experts all over the world, but that has been memory holed.
