let's get to potsdam. this is where the conference was held. the palace in potsdam. you will note what the americans and british saw when they pulled up, a gigantic red star of geraniums. the russians wanted to make absolutely sure that everybody knew whose conference this was and who conquered this particular piece of ground. the russians emptied the palace and took everything they could out and replace it with the best of whatever they could find in potsdam, whether it matched architectural styles or not. leaving the british especially very confused about what they presumed to be the artistic taste of the nazi elite. attlee called it stockbroker gothic, which was a great line. this palace was built during the first world war, that is the germans were fighting the first world war and still building palaces at the same time. for kaiser wilhelm's son, for him and his wife, hence the name of the palace. there would be no germans in potsdam while this conference was going on. the red army moved them all out. the conferees at potsdam did not see a german. the milk they d
