マーシャル大将はむろんあのマーシャルプランのマーシャルその人だが、
１９４５年４月のホワイトハウスでは堂々と「ポーランドの政治問題など
興味ない、ソ連対日参戦が必要だからソ連とは協調しよう」と言ってる。
ドイツが東部戦線で敗退し日本が日中戦争で大勝した結果がこれだ。
GENERAL MARSHALL said he was not familiar with the Polish issue
and its political aspects. He said from the military point of view
the situation in Europe was secure but that they hoped for Soviet
participation in the war against Japan at a time when it would be
useful to us. The Russians had it within their, power to delay their
entry into the Far Eastern war until we had done all the dirty work.
He said the difficulties with the Russians such as in the case of
CROSSWORD usually straightened out. He was inclined to agree with
Mr. Stimson that possibility of a break with Russia was very serious.
