If the Germans truly did the Katyn Massacre like Katyn revisionists argue, it would be reasonable for there to be contemporary German documents (such as a German Einsatzgruppen report) which discuss the mass murder of Polish prisoners of war in the Katyn forest and the other prison camps.
After all, the Germans documented mass shootings they actually did.
Take the Babi Yar Massacre as an example of this.
On the 2nd of October, 1941, an activity report of the Reich Security Main Office reported that:
On 29 and 30 September 1941, 33,771 Jews were executed in Kiev by Sonderkommando 4a in collaboration with the group staff and two commandos of Police Regiment South.
(Metzner, Hans. “Evidence on the Babi Yar Massacre 29 & 30 September 1941: Contemporary Sources.”, 6 Mar. 2017, holocaustcontroversies.blogspot.com/2017/03/evidence-on-babi-yar-massacre-29-30.html. Document 7)
Other German documents related to the Babi Yar Massacre
Another example of German documentation of mass shootings is Operational Situation Report No. 80 by Einsatzgruppe C on 11 September 1941:
...in the course of 3 days 23,600 Jews were shot in Kamenets-Podolsk by a Commando of the Higher SS and Police Leader ["South"]...

Other German documents related to the Kamenets-Podolsk Massacre
There is also the infamous Jager Report, a 9 page German document which reports on the mass executions of about 137,000 people (mostly Jews) in the Baltics during Operation Barbarossa.
(I will not be showing pictures of the Jager Report as that would probably make this post too long, but for a source for the Jager Report see https://fcit.usf.edu/holocaust/resource/document/DocJager.htm.)
As is clearly demonstrated by the above documents, the Germans documented the mass executions they committed on the Eastern Front.
That being said, how much documentary evidence for the Germans committing the Katyn Massacre is there?
None at all.
There are no reports by the Einsatzgruppen, Waffen-SS, Wehrmacht, or any other Nazi organization about the mass execution of 22,000 Polish prisoners of war in the Katyn Forest, or any of the other prison camps.
This presents a massive challenge to the "Germans did it" theory. If the Germans truly did commit the massacre, there would be at least 1 document proving that they did.
But, there is none.
