Much if we didnt have armies in the field. So our next session will look at how yalta affected the execution of the closing months of world war ii. To do this, weve asked our very own rob citino. Dr. Citino is from the institute of war and democracy, swlt the Museum Senior historian at the National World War Ii Museum, and ill beat him to the punch scompline say hes got the longest title on staff. Hes an awardwinning military historian. Hes published 10 books, primarily on the german army. Hes taught for three decades, including stints at west point, u. S. Military academy, and the u. S.

But as he always reminds me, did not come to our 2015 International Conference because we didnt invite him that year. Bette
