     'Hitler's greatest weakness', Stalin told Harry Hopkins on July 31, at their second meeting in the Kremlin, 'was found in the vast numbers of oppressed peoples who hate Hitler and the immoral ways of his government.' These people, Stalin added, 'and countless other millions in nations still unconquered, could receive the kind of encouragement and moral strength they needed to resist Hitler only from one source, and that was the United States.'
