==Military decisions== # The [[Yugoslav Partisans]] would be supported by supplies, equipment, and [[commando]] operations. # The leaders stated that it would be desirable for Turkey to join the war on the side of the Allies before the end of the year. # The leaders took note of Stalin's statement that if Turkey found herself at war with Germany and, as a result, Bulgaria declared war on or attacked Turkey, the Soviet Union would immediately be at war with Bulgaria. The Conference noted that this could be mentioned in the forthcoming negotiations to bring Turkey into the war. #The cross-channel invasion of France ([[Operation Overlord]]) would be launched during May 1944, in conjunction with an operation against southern France ([[Operation Dragoon]]). The latter operation would be undertaken in as great a strength as the availability of landing-craft permitted. The Conference further took note of Stalin's statement that the Soviet forces would launch an offensive ([[Operation Bagration]]) about the same time with the object of preventing the German forces from transferring from the Eastern Front to the Western Front. Operation Overlord was to be on 1 June, but the moon and tides required to be delayed to 5 June.<ref>*{{cite book |last= Caddick-Adams |first= Peter |title= Sand & Steel: A New History of D-Day |year= 2019 |publisher= Hutchinson |location= London |isbn= 978-1-84794-8-281 |page= 339}}</ref> # The leaders agreed for the military staff of the three powers to keep in close contact with one another in regard to the impending operations in Europe. In particular, a cover plan to mislead the enemy about the operations was to be concocted by the staff concerned. === Political decisions === Stalin and Churchill discussed the future borders of Poland, stating a variant of the so-called [[Curzon Line]] for the eastern border, supporting the annexation of the rest by the USSR, proposing annexation of German territories in the north and west to Poland instead. Roosevelt had asked to be excused from any discussion of Poland, stating it as matter for the effects of any decision on Polish voters in the US and the upcoming [[1944 United States presidential election|1944 election]]. The decisions were not officially ratified until the [[Yalta Conference]] and [[Potsdam Conference]] in 1945. Soon before the conference, the USSR unilaterally withdrew recognition of the [[Polish government-in-exile]], still recognized by the UK and the US and the negotiations were made covertly without their involvement. During the negotiations, Roosevelt had demanded that the Republics of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia would be deemed as part of the Soviet Union only after the citizens 'voted' on the action. Roosevelt secured formal 'agreement', however, Stalin would not consent to any international control over the elections and stated that all issues would have to be resolved 'in accordance with the Soviet Constitution'. In the end, after Soviet occupation, the areas were subjected in accordance with Soviet plans. The US, for example in principle never officially recognised.
