GERMANY - JULY 17: British Prime Minster Winston CHURCHILL, United States President Harry TRUMAN and General STALIN (from left to right) shaking hands and smiling during the Potsdam Conference which took place between July 17 and 25, 1945. Germany's fate was sealed at the conclusion of this conference on August 2, 1945: it was to be disarmed, divided into several occupied zones and its war industries dismantled. CHURCHILL had left the conference on July 25 in order to follow the results of the English legislative elections. Clement ATTLEE whose labor party obtained the majority replaced him.
