Welcome back to the Madeleine Paul hilliard Conference Center here at the higgins hotel. I hope everybody enjoyed their lunch. We spent this morning doing some pretty high Level Analysis of the political and strategic situation that existed amongst the allied leaders. But as we all know, wars are fought on battle feels, not in board rooms, and these summits, though they dictated much of what would happen on the ground, they wouldnt have mattered 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, we asked our very own rob citino, dr. Citino is the executive director of the institute for the study of war and democracy as well as the Museum Samuel and mary stone Senior Historian at the National World War Ii Museum and ill beat him to the punch line and say hes got the longest title on staff. Hes an Award Winning military historian, published ten books, primarily on the german army.
