  1. Churchill was always ahead of other allied leaders in understanding what the Soviets might do at the end of the war to consolidate control over new territory. He could use the newly occupied lands as bargaining chips for areas Stalin really wanted. Denmark was one such area, and Churchill was convinced that Stalin was going to seize Denmark. Kremlin plans discovered after the fall of the USSR showed that Churchill was mostly right. The remnant nazi government under Doenitz lasted just long enough to frustrate Stalin's plan.
