Both went to Katyn Forest with the preconceived idea that the Germans had committed the crimes. Both were prejudiced against Germany because of their war-time experiences. Both came to the conclusion that the crimes had not been committed by Germany-our enemy at that time-but by Russia-our ally at that time. On the other hand, witnesses who attended the Russian investigation were of the opinion that it was a staged presentation and not productive of any real evidence. ; Book of Milton Crane, with his signature, a member of the unusual Jewish Fulton Masonic Lodge of Atlanta.
