Hopkin's was the eyes and ears of America inside the Kremlin. He was a spy for the USA and ingratiated himself into the Soviet High Command and Stalin's inner circle at great risk to his life. In doing so he opened himself up for attack as a Stalin dupe or friend after his death.The OP does not understand or have knowledge of why unconditional surrender has been a military strategy since armies began fighting each other with sharpened sticks and sling shots, spears and arrows.
Clearly, it is you who pretends not to understand.
The demand for 'unconditional surrender' came directly from the Kremlin, and Roosevelt, dutifully, acquiesced to Stalin.
The very first use of the phrase 'unconditional surrender" at Casablanca was by Harry Hopkins. One day earlier, January 23, before the President announced it, Hopkins told the grand vizier of Morocco, "The war will be pursued until Germany, Italy, and Japan agree to unconditional surrender."
"Harry Hopkins: Ally of the Poor and Defender of Democracy," by George McJimsey, p.277
and FRUS: Washington and Casablanca, p. 703.
Harry Hopkins.....
Harry Hopkins,- FDR's alter ego, co-president, or Rasputin, "...the closest and most influential adviser to President Franklin D. Roosevelt during World War II, was a Soviet agent." and “the most important of all Soviet wartime agents in the United States.”
The Treachery Of Harry Hopkins
Pretty much the same role you fill, huh?
The controversy about Hopkins seems never ending, but here is what Gen. George Marshall had to say about him.
"He was a heroic figure of the war. He rendered a service to his country which will never even vaguely be appreciated."
Gen. George C. Marshall
You lie.
He was an agent of Soviet Russia....not a problem for Franklin Roosevelt, who welcomed 'Uncle Joe's' agents in his administration.
There is absolutely no evidence of Hopkins's patriotism outside of the fact that he worked in the White House. None. All that there is an assumption, a faith based in wishful thinking. It provides for Hopkins the kind of benefit of the doubt that the Liberals never give to an opponents, as in Goldwater's vote against the 1964 Civil Rights Act, or Trent Lott joking that Strom Thurmond had been elected.
In 1998, the late US Air Force historian Eduard Mark published a break-through Hopkins analysis, a meticulous examination of what appears to be the first damning document to emerge from the Venona record against Hopkins. It was a partly decrypted Venona cable, authored by Akhmerov, in which a very senior Roosevelt administration official, code named "Source 19," conveyed the content of a private, top secret conversation between Roosevelt and Churchill in late May 1943 about the invasion of Normandy, which, at the time, was a year away.
By a process of elimination, this is what Mark concludes: "it is probable virtually to the point of certainty" that Harry Hopkins is Source 19.
