In the view of British historian J.F.C. Fuller, Roosevelt “left no stone unturned to provoke Hitler to declare war on the very people to whom he so ardently promised peace. He provided UK with American destroyers, he landed American troops in Iceland, and he set out to patrol the Atlantic seaways in order to safeguard British convoys; all of which were acts of war.”
“A president who cannot entrust the people with the truth betrays a certain lack of faith in the basic tenets of democracy. But because the masses are notoriously shortsighted and generally cannot see danger until it is at their throats, our statesmen are forced to deceive them into an awareness of their own long-run interests. This is clearly what Roosevelt had to do, and who shall say that posterity will not thank him for it?”
To solidify the Allied wartime coalition – which was formally known as the “United Nations” -- President Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Churchill, and Soviet premier Stalin met together on two occasions: in November 1943 at Tehran , in occupied Iran , and in February 1945 in Yalta , in Soviet Crimea. The three Allied leaders accomplished what they accused the Axis leaders of Germany , Italy and Japan of conspiring to achieve: world domination.
Churchill wrote all this out on a piece of paper, which he pushed across to Stalin, who made a check mark on it and passed it back. Churchill then said, “Might it not be thought rather cynical if it seemed we had disposed of these issues, so fateful to millions of people, in such an off-hand manner? Let us burn the paper.” “No, you keep it,” replied Stalin.
At a meeting with Stalin in 1944, Churchill proposed that in Romania the Soviets should have 90 percent influence or authority, and 75 percent in Bulgaria , and that Britain should have 90 percent influence or control in Greece . In Hungary and Yugoslavia , the British leader suggested, each should have 50 percent.
Another popular American assumption is that this country’s enemies in World War II were all non-democratic dictatorships. In fact, on each side there were regimes that were repressive or dictatorial, as well as governments that had broad public support. Many of the countries allied with the US were headed by governments that were oppressive, dictatorial, or otherwise non-democratic. Finland , a democratic republic, was an important wartime partner of Hitler’s Germany .
very good. Once, I was searching this old house, and found some photographs, and a purple heart. I could not take them. I did not take them. I left them in the crawl space where I found them.
This is a different movie.
Germans are not the usual evil giggling foolish soldiers of the other "politically-correct" war movies.
Probably in this movie they have been portrayed as they really were: fearful human beings into the hell of a war desired by someone else.
Killers exactly like their "enemies"
I don't speak english so I don't understand how the poor german soldier died in the second part (frozen to death? R.I.P.).
Please, explain me!
Thanks.
