(This fundie is talking about the Kaytn massacre)

Wrong. What has happened is that in 1943, when Third Reich was reeling from the defeats in the East, an attempt to split Allies and USSR was made. Germans claimed that they discovered a grave crime of Soviets - mass-murder of Poles. Nobody heard about Katyn before that.

Several independent experts were called in by the Nazis to make a statement, except every single one later admitted that Nazis promised to kill them, if they will not sign the paper that testified their confirmation that it was Soviet crime.

In 1945 a new investigation was carried (joint), that concluded that Soviets were innocent and it was just one of many similar mass-murders committed by the Nazis. However, it was proven too hard to locate enough evidence in time for the Nuremberg Trials to convict the specific culprits of the crime. Consequently, result was inconclusive and nobody got convicted.
