Document Summary
Churchill went to visit stalin in moscow (before the war was over) to try and plan how the countries would handle germany after the war. The meeting was somewhat secret so that they could receive the best possible end of the bargain. Still before the end of the war, Truman is now involved, wanting to restore europe with american assistance. The main focus of this conference the boundaries of germany would be after the war: nuremberg trials (august 1945) Making the german people now feel responsible for the holocaust and the war. It assured the people that they were not at fault as general people/civilians: deportation and resettlement. Many germans attempted to flee their country, except like the jews, they were rejected by many countries. After the war, some people refused to come back, and some were refused entry. Who could be trusted (by the new government) to be allowed back: denazification.
