In 1940, the Nazis overwhelmed the continent of Europe and left England isolated on its island across the Channel. Norway was conquered in eight weeks; France in six. Denmark had been absorbed in six hours. Most in America thought Britain would fall as quickly as had France or Norway. Everyone, save Franklin Roosevelt. This is Part One, Episode Three: FDR and the Lend Lease Decision. It reviews how FDR gradually came to understand the threat of Nazism, and how he came to develop a plan for addressing it, in the face of substantial political opposition.
