Memorial Day, a time of remembrance of our war dead, is the time to note that hundred of thousands of same need not have died....had Roosevelt been more pro-America and less pro-Stalin.
Here's more evidence that there could have been an end to the war if not for Roosevelt and Stalin:
7. " In 1940, [George H.] Earle was appointed as
Ambassador to Bulgaria. During
World War II, he served again in the
United States Navy, this time as
Lieutenant Commander and as a special emissary to the
Balkans, where
Earle proposed a plan that he believed might bring the war in Europe to an early end.
The German ambassador and the head of the German secret service had secretly proposed a coup against Adolf Hitler that would end with Hitler turned over to the US as a war criminal, but the plot was not approved by the US government."
"George Howard Earle", Governors of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission,
David Martin, "How FDR Dragged out WW II for Stalin
Again? "....
bring the war in Europe to an early end."
Bringing the war to an early end would have saved 200 thousand American servicemen's lives.
that the US did not approve-----by no means PROVES that the US did not want
an early end to the war------could be that the plan was no damned good
"...could be that the plan was no damned good..."
Well.....let's investigate that....
And....the same George Earle that Roosevelt had selected for a fact-finding mission to Europe....and then ignored the facts that Earle provided.....
8. "George H. Earle’s series of
secret negotiations with the German underground, which began with [Hitler’s chief spy Adm. Wilhelm] Canaris…. he sent Canaris’s initial query regarding a negotiated peace to the White House via diplomatic pouch
in early 1943….
The next approach to Earle, also in that spring of 1943, came from Baron Kurt von Lersner, a German aristocrat of Jewish extraction who lived in virtual exile in Turkey. He, too, had
a proposal for the Allies. Earle wrote, “According to Lersner— and I could not doubt him; he had placed his life in my hands— some of the highest officials in Germany, [ambassador to Turkey Franz von] Papen included, loved their country but hated Hitler. They wanted to end the war before he bled Germany of all her youth, all her strength and resources. At the same time,
they were deeply concerned about Russia’s growing might and power.” …
Earle sent off
another dispatch to FDR at the White House marked “Urgent.” Again, Earle received no reply. “I pressed the matter with every ounce of my persuasion and judgment,” Earle wrote, “but
I sensed the old trouble. Lersner’s call for an overt stand against Communist expansion distressed Roosevelt.” …
Earle wrote that his German contacts came back to him with another more specific plan, laying out the involvement of Field Marshal Ludwig Beck; Count Wolf Heinrich von Helldorf, chief of police of Berlin; Prince Gottfried Bismarck, a Potsdam official and grandson of the “Iron Chancellor”; and a well-known cavalry officer, Freiherr von Boeselager. Again, the plan was to stage a coup, turn over Hitler and his top henchmen to the Allies, and bring about Germany’s “unconditional surrender, with one condition”: The Russians were not to be allowed into Central Europe, including Germany or territory at that time controlled by Germany." "Wedemeyer Reports!: An objective, dispassionate examination of World War II, postwar policies, and Grand Strategy," Hardcover – 1959by General Albert C. Wedemeyer
Get the picture??? FDR would not sign on to ending the war unless Stalin inherited...occupied...... Europe.
Soooo......what's the explanation for Roosevelt refusing to allow the war to end???
Answer: Joseph Stalin
Or....do you find this a "bad plan">."
.. the plan was to stage a coup, turn over Hitler and his top henchmen to the Allies, and bring about Germany’s “unconditional surrender, with one condition”: The Russians were not to be allowed into Central Europe, including Germany or territory at that time controlled by Germany."
....at the benefit of saving 200,000 American lives.
Happy Memorial Day.
