Foreign Relations of the United States: Diplomatic Papers, The Conferences at Cairo and Tehran, 1943

Editorial Note

The only account of this meeting that has been found is in Arnold, p. 473, which indicates that Marshall took a poll of the opinion of officers present as to when each of them thought the war with Germany would be ended. The place of the meeting is not given; the time of the meeting is inferred from Arnold’s account and from the Log, ante, p. 660.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1943¹
