Description

Original vintage circa 1945 glossy 10 x 8 photograph of Allied leaders gathered at the Potsdam Conference in 1945, marked "Signal Corps, U. S. Army" in the lower left corner. President Harry S. Truman is seen at center, with Winston S. Churchill at the far right and Joseph Stalin at the far left. Linen-backed and in fine condition. Encapsulated by PSA as an authentic "Type I" photograph.

The 'Big Three' met at the Potsdam Conference in July–August 1945 to determine the administration of postwar Germany. They came to various agreements relating to the German economy, punishment for war criminals, land boundaries, and reparations. The principal outcome was the decision to divide Germany into three zones of occupation (one for each nation), and to defer discussions of German reunification until a later date.
