Foreign Relations of the United States, Diplomatic Papers, The Conference of Berlin (The Potsdam Conference), 1945, Volume II

Editor’s Note

—At a meeting of the United States and Soviet Chiefs of Staff on July 26, Army General Antonov stated that Stalin had handed to Truman the Soviet answer to document No. 1279, post, at 11 a.m. on July 25 (see post, page 408). No other record of this transaction, which presumably took place at the Cecilienhof Palace immediately before the Ninth Plenary Meeting, has been found.
