On a cold afternoon at the end of March 1945, General Dwight D. Eisenhower sat down at his headquarters in Reims, North-Eastern France and he drafted an unprecedented and historic cable. The cable was sent to Moscow, for the personal attention of Joseph Stalin. Throughout the whole war this was the first time that the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force had contacted directly with the Soviet Leader. The reason for this was because the Allied Forces needed a final thrust deep into Germany and it was urgent that the Soviets could coordinate their movements with the Anglo–American forces. Eisenhower told Stalin his plans and asked the he should reciprocate. Eisenhower had also sent two other cables, one to Washington, to the General of the army George C. Marshall, who was his immediate superior. The other went to General Bernard Montgomery, Commander-in-chief of the 21st Army Group in the North of Germany. The cables that Eisenhower had sent, outlined his plan which was meant to bring a speedy end to the war. The plan was to divide Germany in two by using the 12th Army Group. The army would advance through central Germany and deliver a hard blow. Within days prior to 28 March, Eisenhower had changed his plan; he had no longer considered Berlin, the capital of Hitler’s Reich, to be a military important object. Eisenhower, unlike the British Generals had not been trained to consider political objectives as part of military strategy.
The change in the plan had paved a new road of opportunity for Joseph Stalin. He distrusted the Western leaders and believed that they were preparing to seize Berlin before the Russians could. This was indeed the plan put forward by Field Marshall Montgomery. Stalin’s reason to reach Berlin before any of the allies because if the Russians gained control then when the war was over, Russia would have a greater empire. Churchill had noticed the changes in Stalin’s behaviour ever since the conferencebetween him, Stalin and Roosevelt at Yalta in February 1943.
