Hitler Tried to Assassinate Churchill, FDR, and Stalin in One Place
Perhaps no operation was more audacious or had greater consequences to the war’s outcome if it had succeeded than Long Jump.
Key Point: The assassination was scheduled to take place in Tehran.
In German it was called Operation Rösselsprung, which translates to “Long Jump.” Its goal was to kill or kidnap the Allies’ “Big Three” leaders––Soviet Premier Josef Stalin, British Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill, and American President Franklin D. Roosevelt when they met in Tehran, Iran, in November 1943. That the plan did not succeed is attributable to smart intelligence work, a drunken disclosure, and a bit of good luck.

President Biden and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson plan to sign a 21st century version of the historic Atlantic Charter when they meet for the first time on Thursday, an attempt to show their countries taking the lead on the biggest issues facing the world.
The document is a historical nod to the original Atlantic Charter signed in 1941 by former American President Franklin D. Roosevelt and former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. That document was a blueprint for emerging from World War II, and included a set of common principles, such as liberalized trade, labor standards, and commitments to restore self-government to countries that had been occupied.
