The shocking revelation of the documentary, is that Stalin's occupation of Eastern Europe was not accidental, but that FDR gave Eastern Europe to Stalin as a gift. FDR handed over Eastern Europe to the commies, over the objections of Churchill. FDR was looking to a post-war world, in which he and Stalin could rule the world together, and impose a socialist/communist paradise over the entire world. One wonders how far FDR would have gone with his New Deal, if it was not for the opposition he received from the Supreme Court, and from Senate Republicans such as Sen. Robert Taft. FDR was the first President to disregard America's democratic tradition of a 2 term limit, established by George Washington, by running for a third Presidential term in 1940.

Many American patriots in the 1930s and 1940s, regarded FDR as a secret communist. The documentary shows how FDR and Stalin conspired to undermine Churchill, as they waged their war effort in Europe, which gives credence to those claims.

One part of the documentary is available on Youtube, titled Churchill vs. Stalin. In almost every dispute that Churchill had with Stalin, FDR took the side of Stalin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUV8IJNszCg

Churchill was naive enough to consider America as an ally for the cause of Christianity, freedom, and Western civilization. He was wrong. Churchill is the true hero of World War Two. He opposed communism, even before he gave his famous 1946 speech, declaring the existence of a Cold War between communism and freedom.

The documentary reveals that Churchill was opposed to the D-day invasion of France. Instead, Churchill supported the invasion of Nazi-held Eastern Europe through Italy in 1941,...

scratchin my head, here. D-Day vs. 1941 ?

[Joe the Pimpernel]

So did Patton.

There was a mentality in the FDR State Department that Russia was not a communist hegemon, but simply the inheritor of a paranoid historical legacy that left it terrified of invasion by foreign powers and ideologies. It would not seek to export its communist vision; it simply wanted to be secure within its own borders. Stalin wasn't an empire-builder; he was heir to the tsarist legacy of invasion, betrayal, and oppression.

The authors of that pacifist line of bilge were Roosevelt's State hacks, notably Dean Acheson, who gradually changed his policy from one of appeasement of Stalin to containment of the Soviet menace that later proved to be very real.

Interestingly liberals tend to constantly characterize things as innate rights that are not, while not defending those things that actually are innate God-given rights. Freedom and self-determination are innate God-given rights. ‘Wealth’ is not. Wealth is created by the industry of human beings working toward a better (self-determined) life. It doesn't exist on its own. If people don't work, there is no ‘wealth’. The GDP is not a measure of the cumulative amount of things that ‘just exist’ that a country has. It is a measure of the cumulative amount of things that those who create, invest in, and work have generated.

Wealth is not like water or air, things that exist independent of man's efforts (I'm not talking about water distribution, dams, purification etc., which are the result of individual efforts). Liberals want to take and redistribute those things that are the result of the efforts of individuals, but will not defend the innate rights of freedom and self-determination.

Churchill always believed that the doorway to Europe was "the soft underbelly" of Italy. As First Lord of the Admiralty in WWI, he was the driving force behind the disastrous Gallipoli campaign, and sought to redeem his reputation by repeating the campaign in WWII. Fortunately, Eisenhower squelched the idea or the Normandy invasion never would have come off.

Churchill was an incredible statesman, but not necessarily a brilliant military planner.

[rightsmart]

While an invasion of Europe through Italy in 1941 would have solved many of the post-war problems, it was not tactically possible. The British were not successful in Greece, Crete, and North Africa. An invasion of Italy would require substantial naval forces to navigate through the narrow straights of Gibralter-prime U-boat hunting grounds. Hitler was trying hard to have Spain join the axis and had he been successful, this would have made the entire route from England to Italy within range of air attack.

There was no way England could have attacked through Italy in 1941.

Winston Churchill was GREAT as being a Great Britain Prime Minister and motivating his people but as a Military Planner he was a Cluster F*** of the First order. To see an example of a Churchill “Planned” Military Operation see:

Churchill visited Stalin during the war and both of them sat up all night “carving” up the world into spheres of influence and determining which part the Soviets would rule and which parts Great Britain would rule.

Churchill did not do anything to stop Stalin. Sorry, but I think he is just as responsible as FDR for the Soviet Union’s takeover of Eastern Europe.

[Iron Munro]

Roosevelt opposed anything that would weaken the USSR or lead to the downfall of Stalin and the communists.

He even ordered Eisenhower to delay the American Army entry into Berlin until the Soviet Red Army got there so they could occupy part of Berlin and half of Germany. Thanks to FDR a hundred million people lived under the iron fist of the USSR communists for almost half a century.

This is documented fact, not tin-foil-hat paranoia as liberal, one-worlders would have you believe.

FDR was every bit as bad as Obama at heart, and even worse in practice (so far). In fact, he laid the groundwork so a socialist like Obama could someday be elected to the US presidency. Obama is just finishing up the work started by FDR.

Both of therm are traitors to the oath they took to protect the US Constitution.

[Conservative4Ever]

My mother claimed until her passing that Roosevelt was a communist. I learned early that eastern Europe was payment to Stalin. No surprise there.

[crazydad]

I agree with the assumption. FDR was the biggest trader in US history.. He gave away and betrayed the Polish people. And the rest of eastern Europe.. How many people died because of FDR's failed policies regarding Stalin. Communism has killed more people then Hitler ever did. Not justifying what Hitler did but making a observation.
