They're on the Elbe. I mean, the Elbe was reached on the 11th of April. So they've done the job. The job's done. But the atomic bomb. I mean, Truman doesn't know about the Manhattan Project. He doesn't know about the atomic bomb when he becomes president. He doesn't know about ongoing brewing problems with the Soviet Union. All these he has to kind of shoulder and burden.

And he doesn't want to be president. He didn't want to be vice president. He does it out of a sense of moral duty, of Christian moral patriotic duty.

He has carried it to that point. Literally the day after reaching the elbow. Great man. But I would argue that I think Truman is a surprise in how good he was. And he was, you know, There are some flaws in his presidency, don't get me wrong. But out of that comes a continuation of the ethos of Roosevelt. Out of that comes the Marshall Plan.
