Summary edit

Description 208-PU-168-K-33: Allies Grand-Strategy Conference in North Africa: President Franklin D. Roosevelt meets Prime Minister Winston Churchill. One of the most momentous conferences of this war began on January 14th, near Casablanca, when President Roosevelt met Prime Minister Churchill to survey the entire field of war, theatre by theatre. They were accompanied by Chiefs of Staff of the two countries. All resources were marshaled for the active and concerted execution of the Allies’ plans for the offensive campaign of 1943. President Roosevelt later described the meeting at the “unconditional surrender” meetings, by which he meant that unconditional surrender by the Axis was the only assurance of future world peace. General de Gaulle and General Giraud also met at Casablanca and discussed plans for the unification of the war effort of the French Empire. Shown, left to right: Admiral Ernest J. King, Commander in Chief, U.S. Navy; Prime Minister Churchill; President Roosevelt. Standing: Major General Sir Hastings Ismay (2nd from left); Lord Louis Mountbatten (3rd from eft) and Field Marshall Sir John Dill (right). Office of War Information Collection. (2016/08/30).
