When the Germans came to Russia in 1941
there were 3 camps with Polish prisoners
in the district of Smolensk. After the
occupation of Smolensk the Poles were
seen working on the road but after September
none were seen. The Germans shot the
prisoners in the autumn of 1941. Papers
have been found from which it is clear that
the prisoners were alive when the Germans
occupied the area and it is therefore
clear the prisoners .......[?] have been
shot by the Germans.
