Co-ordinating Allied Policy

Abstract

The most difficult – and frustrating – tasks confronting planners arose from the need to reconcile British and Allied policy. The necessary political machinery for this was provided by the three foreign ministers at the Moscow conference in the form of the European Advisory Commission (EAC), which sat in London. Each government appointed delegates to the EAC at the Teheran Conference of December 1943: Sir William Strang represented Britain, John Winant, the American Ambassador to London, represented his country, and Fedor Gousev, the Soviet Ambassador in London from 1943, was his country’s delegate. Later, on 11 November 1944, the Provisional Government of the French Republic was invited to become a member of the Commission, and M. Massigli, the French Ambassador in London, joined them. Each delegate was assisted by political, military and other representatives.KeywordsControl CommissionExecutive CouncilControl MachineryAlly ControlWestern AllyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
