Of the three leaders, Stalin stood out to me the most. Churchill was livid, because Stalin asked for so much – food, military equipment, other supplies – and he wanted it all straightaway. ‘Undercover: Life in Churchill’s Bunker’ has just reopened at the Churchill War Rooms (iwm.org.uk) Truman was quite a short man and didn’t take the limelight, but Stalin you couldn’t mistake. Truman didn’t wear uniform, so was in a suit, and Churchill was in his sort-of uniform, a lightweight thing soldiers might wear in the desert.
