Weihnachtsabend 1943. Franklin Delano Roosevelt saß vor seinem Radio-Mikrofon, bereit, die Nation zu beantworten. Es war ein arduöser Weg, die letzten Monate November und Dezember, in Algerien, Tunesien, Iran, Ägypten, Malta, Sizilien und Senegal zu reisen. Now, with his thinning gray hair neatly groomed, Roosevelt began to recount the pivotal meetings of the past weeks.
In Cairo, he and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill had conferred separately with Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and Turkish President İsmet İnönü. In Teheran, the pair had sat down with Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin. For Roosevelt, this marked a momentous occasion. His first face-to-face meeting with the man who held Russia in his iron grip.
I can say even today that I do not think any Insoluble differences will arise among Russia, Great Britain and the United States. In these conferences we were concerned with basic principles. Principles which involve the security and the welfare and the standard of living of human beings in countries large and small. To use an American and somewhat ungrammatical colloquialism Amen.
