What "Polish documents"? Can you present them - all your quoted stuff is in Russian?

According to Polish sources not twenty two thousand but ... two thousand died in Tuchola.

Nice try anyway - I consider it as your another clumsy attempt to get rid of sceletons off your own closet...

Poles themselves admit 18-20 thousands...

Dead from disease IIRC. Poland didn't have resources to support food and medicine to the huge masses of soldiers giving up or escaping soviet army.
Care to give a link to your source ?

The Ukrainians in Polish Interned camps were mostly soldiers of Dyrektoria under rule of Petliura. Because of Alliance between Petrliura and the Poles, the remains of Dyrektoria army transfered there, after Ukraine fell to the Bolsheviks. The camps were just temporary places for army to stay, mind that "tabir internovanyh" (internment camp) is not the same as "kontsentratsiinyi tabir" (concentration camp). Reading various memuars I did not find any negative remarks over army's stay in Poland.
