that's when a lot of things happened in western europe. of the ex nazis wound up in latin america. there were various efforts to try to get jewish refugees out of the concentration camps, and a lot of eastern europeans displaced people who did not want to go back to places like hungary or czechoslovakia or east germany, once the communists took over. a lot of those people managed to get into the refugee channels who were nazis. because everybody just got overwhelmed. there was enough people and enough records to track everybody down. if john proudest wants to talk about how the cia helped nazis escape and wound up in latin america, in some cases it happened, but it was obviously not intentional. if you got 1000 refugees together, it's like what happened in europe and the last two years. with hundreds of thousands of syrians and libyan's and everybody else trying to escape, trying to get into europe and the problems that the security forces and the police forces have an differentiating who is the legitimate refugee and who is an isis terror

two years later, the germans turned those practices on against poland and western europe. it was a time of aggressive nazi expansionism. he was there the first year of the european war and witnessed the fall of france. he was in paris when the germans marched in. he exercised and demonstrated all the collection, reporting, analytic and operational skills of a classic field officer. here we have a picture of him courtesy -- here we have a 1920re of him from his academy yearbook. example ofd of an the world he was an. -- he was in. he demonstrated analytical and observational skills as a classic field officer and in this case, what he did, he took probe of western germany, the rhineland, just before the germans sealed it off in 1938. coe are the german labor rps boys building fortifications and the advanced mechanized equipment that the germans were using. he would drive around and because he spoke native german, along with spanish and french, he would pick up hitchhiking gis, german soldiers, and he would offer them cigarettes and say, by the way, i am an american, tell me

the tremendous doctrine and the marshall managed to stabilize and rebuild western europe.s the soviet union consolidated its hold on eastern europe, truman who considered donovan a self promoter ignored his calls for a peace time strategic intelligence service and simply wiped out the oss. there is a considerable controversy about that. whether it was just sort of wrongheadedness on truman's part, the point was that as a temporary organization, the oss could not continue. it had to be dissolved. and so it was. but truman was painfully aware of the ways fragmentation, disorganization and inter service rivalries had contributed to pearl harbor and he wanted to create a new post war military and national intelligence structure. so he did, very consciously want to get something in place to kind of prepare the united states for the post war world. to do so, he turned to his military chief of staff and former ambassador to france, fleet admiral william lahey and his white house lori -- lawyer clark clifford. as well as to a business friend, james forestall. that is deputy chief

when there were repeated war scares in western europe. not actual war but repeated panics and the picture on the right there, or the left, picture on the left there, is of people fleeing from paris not during the actual war but because they got panicked in the late '30s. finally, he served under the former chief of naval operations and future military chief of staff to the commander in chief, william leahy. and the picture over on the far side is leahy as ambassador to occupied france, actually he was sitting in vishi. and that is his military staff and embassy staff when he's presenting his credentials to the vishi government. let's see. you folks, the second from the right, is hillincotter with the eyebrows and the guy next to him, the third from the right, is douglas macarthur ii who was not douglas mcaftacarthur's son his nephew. he was a senior state department officer. then you have leahy in the middle. he was in france on the 14th of june when the nazis marched in to paris and the ambassador decided to leave hillincotter and the mi

-- hitler launches the blitzkrieg of western europe. you cannot get much more dramatic than that. and so, it was part winston churchill, but it was also that the british people were ready for it, and the courage and the resolution of the british people was quite extraordinary. we think often about what there would -- what would have happened if there had been no churchill and the british people were not like that. god only knows where we would be. if britain had fallen in the summer of 1940, as many people in the government say they did want churchill to negotiate with the germans. if that had happened, seriously, i don't know where we would be. for a brief, shining moment, britain and churchill saved the world, and i don't think you can overemphasize that fact. >> we have got a question in the back row. >> having all of these people coming into their countries -- lynne: actually, that is an interesting question, and i will answer that. actually when they came over, , these european governments were helping to finance the british. for e

the former communist bloc in many ways are much more socially conservative than countries in western europe or in north america and i think he is playing to that even when we talk about. popularity of numbers which are generally much higher than those of western politicians even about half the people who oppose him or express disapproval of him don't think he's conservative and out that he's not nationalistic enough that he's too moderate and yes of course you also have the people in the large cities in moscow st petersburg a few other places where essentially russian versions of western europe these who don't necessarily like these conservative values but i think the items on this referendum list are very much in sync with what the center of gravity russian szell opinion is which tends to be rather conservative by western standards alexander is that it outside the mall maybe we can call them more liberally minded major russian city centers you have a country that is in the main fairly conservative unfairly in choosing with what vladimir putin is doing and saying well i can say that the cou

hello there things are changing across western europe it's being fine dry sunny and very warm but i would say that is set to change the cloud is a base of a give away but it's been a very nice day certainly. in germany some good to sunny skies no sounds nice into southern poland look at this a huge amount of snow impacting the tatra mountains of course higher elevations very unsettled cross the region some heavy amounts of rain of course in this cold air it turned to snow now is staying very unsettled throughout much of eastern europe some heavy rain pushing into western and southern areas of russia and then the rain working its way through much of the u.k. some cold northerly winds coming down the same time just 18 degrees in london not a bad day in paris at 27 but that does change dramatically by thursday a drop of 10 degrees very unsettled that cold all the wind extending across western europe very heavy amounts of rain to through france and in particular cross into were basically on the line of the house we could of course have some snow despite it being the beginning of june so away

we have seen that flow through asia and into western europe and into the americas as a wave in termscovery. but geographically i think we will see similar patterns, although there will be v's and u 's as well. the alacrity with which regimes embrace lockdowns and testing -- that is a longer-term project. i think the pattern would be quite similar, and the trick is to find the v's in terms of category and in terms of geography. we are in 30 countries already. we have 2550 people. been frightened to expand by merger, as we call it. every deal that we do. go ahead. to aske: i was going you, has the pandemic created opportunities for s-4 capital to buy anything? week we added an analytics company in latin america and we will add a similar one in asian-pacific, and a platform based company also in asia pacific very shortly, too. these are small because we don't -- our liquidity has been very strong, better than any of the scenarios we planned as we went into our lockdowns where we were very concerned about the impact or the potential impact -- of course industries and clients with liquidi

this plague can extend to western europe. in africa, some forms of malaria still rage.ms can easily be transmitted to south america. and cholera in japan could strike suddenly in the west coast of the united states. personally infected zones are localized. it may cover entire continents. the struggle against epidemics is a global one. for the danger of death is worldwide. then what is the answer? within the framework of the united nations, a new organization exists to promote the welfare of all people. the world health organization. in its first assembly, dr. chisholm declared this organization was physically prepared to raise the health level of all people and forever restore the human afflictions of colorado, tuberculosis and syphilis. the prime objective of the world health organization is the fight against disease on a global scale. the representatives of nearly every nation have signed on, and this means an organization with the authority to act. epidemics, no matter what part of the world they may inspect are a potential danger to all other nations. the world orga
