DD396 ‘YALTA 1945’
The Yalta Conference was one of the great wartime summits where the 'Big Three' Allied leaders planned Nazi Germany’s final defeat and the postwar reorganisation of Europe.

Held at the Livadia Palace in the Crimea from February 4–11, 1945, it brought together Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin, and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

This new sculpt of the three leaders follows K&C’s original 2012 release (retired in 2016) after hundreds of requests for its return. Instead of a reissue, we created a fresh sculpt based on another famous photo from the conference.

Here, Roosevelt appears older and leans subtly toward Stalin, reflecting the fact that in private F.D.R. believed that Great Britain was now a ‘spent force’ and that the future of post war politics globally would be decided alone by both America and the USSR.

Stalin meanwhile looks on with faint amusement at both Western leaders… he trusts neither of them but, then again, he trusted no one!
