The chief worries were that: 1) Stalin might withdraw from the war when the invaders were driven from Russian territory, thus leaving Hitler free to face the U.S. and Britain; 2) Stalin might let the momentum of his armies spread over...
...Britain, Russia and China to get together on their war plans. Britain and the U.S., through the "unconditional-surrender" conference at Casablanca and through last week's North African High Command agreement, were in close liaison.
