1 February 1945 Stimson to Ike:

You see my RMA works! While all your "old army" was pushed back to the beaches of Normandy, we destroyed all those tanks and SS with airpower and naval gunfire.... the problem is that Uncle Joe with his huge old army is at the doorsteps of Berlin! Maybe you need a vacation in Siberia .... If only I'd given more money to Wild Bill ....

30 April 1945 Stimson to Ike:

How did Uncle Joe get to the Rhine so quickly? Your link up with the Red Army on the Rhine was pretty good? ....Right?... That "Thunder Run" by Audie Murphy and his Old Army "Rock Of the Marne" out of southern France into Paris was something else! How did they do that? Don't worry about the rioting .... we can't occupy France. We wouldn't want to upset them.... A couple of side notes .... I'm sending a CPA to be your boss in Paris ... we can't have the military control anything ..... and you need to start raising, arming and equipping a New French Army to defend against that HUGE Army next door. I lost that memo you send about "Heavy" water, jets and rockets....don't worry about sending it again.
