A radio fiction dramatizing the 1943 Tehran Conference, where Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin negotiated the strategic future of World War II. The production uses historical verbatim to recreate the high-stakes tension between the three empires.

## Highlights

- Strategic tension: The debate over the timing of Operation Overlord and the allocation of naval resources between the Mediterranean and the Western Front
- Failure mode: The risk of diplomatic breakdown due to conflicting post-war visions for Poland and the reconstruction of Europe
- Practical takeaway: The necessity of military coordination, such as the launch of Operation Bagration, to relieve pressure on the Eastern Front
- Geopolitical consequence: The negotiation of new borders and the shifting of territories, specifically regarding the Curzon Line and East Prussia
