Yalta

I can remember that Churchill was always telling jokes, usually crude ones, even when we were in serious discussions about the War. Here at Yalta, he's telling an off-beat joke to Roosevelt, who is somewhat taken aback. Stalin, who was sort of a "control freak", is leaning in, trying to explain the joke. I am just sitting there, wondering if the conference was ever really going to start and trying to figure out how it would effect my homeland, Pomerania. Would Poland get to keep it? Would it go to Russia? Could I influence the outcome? Oh, to be back on my country estate on the Oder River!
