But, yeah Patton was a one of a kind person.

Churchill wanted to march on to Berlin. FDR had already given eastern europe and parts of Berlin to the Soviets at Yalta in Feb, 1945.


ive heard the same, I also heard that Roosevelt was a very sick man at Yalta. and didn't exercise good judgement.

my question has always been who was influencing Roosevelt at that meeting? it turned out to be a terrible decision that virtually imprisoned eastern Europe for 5o years.
