Famous WW2 Quote
"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last."Winston Churchill

Admiral Jonas Ingram was Atlantic Fleet commander at the time and FAdm William Leahy still held the title of Chief of Staff to the President, a position created by and especially for President Roosevelt. Behind Truman is Capt Stuart S Murray, Missouri’s commanding officer.
