Description
This was Stalin’s greatest blunder. He disregarded warnings about an impending German attack from both Soviet Intelligence and the British Prime Minister. He even gave an order to his troops not to return German fire. All of which defies explanation. Dr. Jerzy Borzęcki actually proposes an explanation based on his research from English, Polish, and Russian sources.
Chaired by Prof. Piotr Wrobel
