For the sake of permanently eliminating German war potential the plan advocated amongst other things German territorial dismemberment, partitioning, and deindustrialization. The plan was agreed upon by Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Roosevelt at the Second Quebec Conference. Leaks to the press about the plan led to Roosevelt denying the existence of the plan.[1] Nevertheless, the plan strongly influenced early US occupation policy,[2][3] and through the Potsdam agreement also early Allied occupation policy.[3][4][5]
