#64 – Towards Potsdam

After a string of fuckups, Truman starts listening to other people, like Joseph Davies, the US Ambassador to the Soviet Union in 1937-38, one of the guys he had ignored before his first meeting with Molotov. They decide a new meeting of the Big Three is needed – and start to plan the Potsdam Conference. Truman announced James Byrnes, the man who should be President, would be his new Secretary of State. And he finally learns the details of the S-1 project he had uncovered as a senator two years earlier – AKA the Manhattan Project.
