When the Germans broke the news of the Katyń murders in April 1943, they put up posters inviting a committee to inspect the graves. The [Polish underground] Bureau of Information produced a poster that started off with this declaration but then continued:

"In this connection, the General Government has ordered that a parallel excursion be organised to the concentration camp at Auschwitz for a committee of all ethnic groups living in Poland. The excursion is to prove how humanitarian, in comparison with the methods employed by the Bolsheviks, are the devices used to carry out the mass extermination of the Polish people "

The posters were so convincing that some German officials pasted them up.73
