President Roosevelt and the British Prime Minister (Churchill) to the Chairman of the Council of Peopled Commissars of the Soviet Union (Stalin)6

20 August, 1944.

We are thinking of world opinion if the anti-Nazis in Warsaw are in effect abandoned. We believe that all three of us should do the utmost to save as many of the patriots there as possible. We hope that you will drop immediate supplies and munitions to the patriot Poles in Warsaw, or you will agree to help our planes in doing it very quickly. We hope you will approve. The time element is of extreme importance.

Roosevelt
Churchill
