\\\"or betray Polish partisans who assisted them\\\"
While I can\\\'t speak of the others, there are many accounts of Polish Home Army partisans in 1944 and 1945 assisting the Red Army, only to have the Soviets turn around, arrest their leadership, and offered the rank-and-file two choices: either join the 1st (Communist) Polish Army to be used as cannon fodder or be sent to Siberia. Out-and-out executions were rare, but they happened. The Katyn Massacre also likely provided some inspiration for that mission, despite being pre-1941.
