World War II related deportations, expulsions and similar displacements

 * '40 to '41 The Soviets deported hundreds of thousands of Polish citizens, most in four mass waves. The accepted figure was over 1.5 million       .  The most conservative figures   use recently found NKVD documents showing 309,000   to 381,220 .  The Soviets didn’t recognised ethnic minorities as Polish citizens , some of the figures are based on those given an amnesty rather than deported  and not everyone was eligible for the amnesty therefore the new figures are considered too low  . The original figures were: February, 1940  over 220,000 ; April around 315,000  ; June-July 1940 between 240,000 to 400,000 ; June, 1941, 200,000 to 300,000.
