He also said that they would have joint occupation social gatherings were the American, British, Russians and the Germans would all get drunk together. The French officers would sit off to one side and not participate. In addition, many of the French officers were on the Russian payroll, but the French government refused to recognize that fact. Of course the French officers would take money from the Russians, pass to them military secrets, but would not socialize with them.

Exactly.
Our three biggest mistakes in WWII were (1) allowing a mentally and morally deficient FDR to sell out the freedom of the Eastern Europeans to Uncle Joe Commie and thereby damn 100 million innocent souls to generations of oppression; (2) not continuing to plow eastward and liberate Moscow and St. Petersburgh; and last but not least (3)
not letting the Germans keep France.
