Hi Ted,

No, I was referring to this historical event, one of the lesser-known  
war crimes of WW2, and NOT perpetrated by the Nazis for once:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn

The film I mention, by Andrzej Wajda (also mentioned towards the end  
of Wikipedia write-up), contains some incredible scenes of the Polish  
POWs being transported to their place of execution in Russian prison  
trains.

Cheers,
Nathan
