RE FIELD MARSHALL MONTGOMERY WWII THE FIRST CHICHELE LECTURE 1957
"Understanding what must follow from the decision of unconditional surrender, and knowing that great troubles lay ahead with Stalin over eastern Europe and the future of Germany, the Western allies should surely have ensured that their forces gained possession of the great political centres of Central Europe before the Russians---notably Berlin, Prague, Vienna. If this had been laid down as the object by Roosevelt and Churchill in January 1943, in my considered view as a soldier, we could have grabbed all three in 1944 before the Russians."
At The Casablanca Conference, where Roosevelt announced unconditional surrender, at Morgenthau's instance and under the influence at that time of Russian agents in Treasury, Stalin did not even have to attend.
As Montgomery noted, it suited his plans to the letter...
Call it: "The Roosevelt Morgenthau" decision, or even more accurately, The Roosevelt Moscow Accord, and its aftermath.
Churchill had to go along, or lose so called allies he could not then do without.
I say ' so called ' because not only was the USSR clearly planning to absorb as much of Western and eastern Europe and the Middle East as they could, with active US collusion, but they were also colluding simultaneously with Japan re a secret nonaggression pact, enabling Japan's attack on Western and on American targets in Asia, especially Pearl Harbor.
Morgenthau had arranged for Patton's dismissal, with the help of the willing muckraking tool, Drew Pearson.
