vi INTRODUCTION

World War II was a turning point in United States history. In 1939 the United States was a nation whose previous serious involvements beyond its borders, with the exception of World War I, had been in its own hemisphere. By 1945 it was a world power with seemingly limitless interests and responsibilities. The major world powers in 1939 were European states with extensive colonial interests and the empire of Japan, which was bidding to dominate the Asian mainland. By 1945 these power centers had become power vacuums. Europe was devastated, its colonial em- pires were crumbling, and Japan was crushed. The only nation that seemed capable of approach- ing American power was the Soviet Union. The stage was set for an era of superpower confrontation, imperiled by another of the war’s creations: nuclear weaponry. Historians agree that the man who guided the United States toward this unprecedented and dangerous future was President Franklin D. Roosevelt. This agreement, however, only opens the door to doubt and controversy. “No part of Roosevelt’s foreign policy has been less clearly under- stood,” writes historian Robert Dallek, “than his wartime diplomacy.” This is because the complexities of the war effort require us to draw inferences from masses of data. Nothing is more crucial, and more difficult, to judge than the relation between means and ends. It is possible, for example, to say that during the war Roosevelt followed a policy of opportunism and expediency, determined by military considerations. It is also possible to say that Roosevelt emphasized military considerations because they were the wartime priority and because he wanted to use allied military cooperation as a basis for peacetime cooperation. Similarly, Roosevelt’s personal diplomacy with Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Marshal Josef Stalin might suggest either that he believed in the force of personality in foreign relations or that he recognized, as successive presidents have done, that a successful foreign policy requires direct presidential guidance. All such questions ultimately resolve themselves into deciding whether Franklin D. Roosevelt had a grand strategy for his country’s role in the world and, if he did, what it was. This will always be a difficult question to answer, because if Roosevelt did have a grand strategy, it was conceived in the grand manner of all master strategists: as a tightly constructed relationship between the general and the particular, somewhat after the fashion of Impressionist painters whose images are indistinct when viewed closely but form familiar shapes at a distance. The Map Room Papers provide us with the lines and colors. We have to decide what kind of design, if any, they contain.

The Map Room The White House Map Room was established in January 1942 as President Roosevelt’s center for military information and communications under the supervision of the president’s naval aide. At the time of President Roosevelt’s death in April 1945, it contained seven filing cabinets filled to capacity. President Roosevelt wanted the Map Room to become the single repository of his personal correspondence with such world leaders as Prime Minister Churchill, Marshal Stalin, and Genera- lissimo Chiang Kai-shek. Outgoing messages were sent via navy channels and incoming ones received via army channels. Thus neither service had a complete file. The Map Room also con- veyed and received messages of the president’s immediate family and of advisers such as Harry Hopkins. Additionally, the Map Room served as the contact point for the president when he was away at wartime conferences. In August 1943, as part of President Roosevelt’s preparation for the Quebec Conference, the Map Room set up “Special Subjects” files. These files contained all available military and diplomatic information, which the president could draw upon to draft messages and to formulate policy.

vii They also included reports, maps, and official publications. Map Room officials studied these sources, posted their information on maps and charts, and summarized them for the president. They destroyed information that was of no interest to the White House or that duplicated documents already on file. As the U.S. war machine developed administratively, the Special Files came to dominate the Map Room system. Signifying the growing bureaucratic, impersonal nature of the war effort, the president’s messages eventually were simply incorporated into these Special Files. This process of sifting and summarizing was necessary, of course, in order to digest millions of words or “raw” data, but it forced the president to rely on both the accuracy and the objectivity of the aides and agencies that reported to him. A particular help to scholars is the filing system, which grew out of the need to control the paper flood. An early system of chronological filing without regard to subject broke down as har- ried aides stuffed papers into folders representing several months. In May 1942 the Map Room adopted a version of the army decimal files and printed a Codification Manual to guide the filing staff. The president also entrusted certain important and sensitive documents to the special keep- ing of his naval aide, who kept a separate file in an adjacent room. After the death of President Roosevelt on April 12, 1945, President Harry S Truman arranged to send many of the Map Room files to the National Archives for delivery to the late president’s estate at the end of the war. There they were stored in a special vault. Only the archivist, Dr. Solon J. Buck, and his deputy had copies of the combination. At length the files were transferred to the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library in Hyde Park, where they remain.

viii SOURCE NOTE

The documents reproduced in this micropublication are donated historical materials from the Presidential Papers of Franklin D. Roosevelt in the custody of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Hyde Park, New York. The materials are from the manuscript collection entitled: Roosevelt, Franklin D.: Papers as President, Map Room Files.

EDITORIAL NOTE

UPA’s Map Room Files of President Roosevelt, 1939–1945 consists of selected series from the Map Room File. The series included in this installment of UPA’s micropublication is a portion of the Subject Files. Map Room Ground Operations Files, 1941–1945 consists of the Military Files Series identified in the Map Room Codification Manual as subject classification: 300 Warfare. This classification has been filmed in its entirety. UPA has microfilmed all folders and documents as they are arranged at the FDR Library. The folders in this series have been arranged by the Map Room Codification Manual’s subject classification listed above. The documents within each folder relate to the folder title and are generally arranged in reverse chronological order. Oversize charts and maps have been noted on the microfilm as being filmed in sections: generally top left, right, bottom left and right.

ix x SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

UPA’s two new installments to the Map Room Files of President Roosevelt, 1939–1945 include Map Room Ground Operations Files, 1941–1945 and Map Room Naval Operations Files, 1942– 1945. These micropublications consist of a large portion of the voluminous, formerly classified, White House Map Room File. These classified materials were compiled by President Roosevelt’s naval aide and pertain exclusively to the U.S. and Allied prosecution of the war in Europe, Asia, and the Pacific. The Map Room File includes various types of reports, correspondence, telegrams, and memoranda between the White House, its representatives (i.e., Harry Hopkins, etc.), and Al- lied leaders and military commanders. The files comprising these new additions highlight the various geographic combat areas; tactical and strategic theater operations, and operational vagaries; strengths and dispositions of men and material; and the surrender of Germany. These files also highlight the war situation in Latin America, the North Atlantic, and Italy, as well as the Allied advance through France and Germany. These files outline concerns that were brought to the attention of President Roosevelt, Allied leaders, and military figures (i.e., antisubmarine warfare; Charles de Gaulle and the French National Committee; Soviet–Eastern European exile governmental relations; etc.). The White House Map Room, over the course of the war, amassed a large quantity of materials. The White House Map Room Files are segregated into two major groupings of material. These are (1) Messages, Communications, and Special Files, and (2) Military Files. These two groupings are further subdivided. The early UPA publication entitled Map Room Messages of President Roosevelt consisted exclusively of the various personal messages between the president, his advisors and military commanders, and Allied heads of state, their advisors and military commanders, on the major diplomatic and military questions of the war. Group (2), Military Files, consists primarily of messages, reports, maps, and official publications of the War and Navy departments, their various offices and agencies. The materials that consti- tute the Military Files were sent to the Map Room, where they were studied by the Map Room staff, who posted the information on maps and charts and summarized it in writing for the president, his top advisors, and military and naval aides. We have published a large portion of the Mili- tary Files to date. These highlight the political and diplomatic, personnel, and administration and organization of the U.S. and Allied command in their conduct of World War II. In summary, these new publications continue to highlight the intensity and depth with which Presi- dent Roosevelt immersed himself in the cauldron of World War II.

Map Room Ground Operations Files, 1941–1945 The subject files comprising the Map Room Ground Operations Files, 1941–1945 consist of military correspondence, messages, reports, and memoranda. The files comprising this new addition highlight the various geographic combat areas, including the China-Burma-India, European, Mediterranean, and Pacific theaters; tactical and strategic theater operations, and operational vagaries, such as TORCH, DRAGOON, and OVERLORD; strengths and dispositions of men and material; and the surrender of Germany. These files also highlight the war situation in Latin America, the North Atlantic, and Italy, as well as the Allied advance through France and Germany. These files outline concerns that were brought to the attention of President Roosevelt, Allied leaders, and military figures (i.e., antisubmarine warfare; Charles de Gaulle and the French National Commit- tee; Soviet–Eastern European exile governmental relations; etc.).

xi xii MAP ROOM CODIFICATION MANUAL SUBJECT CLASSIFICATIONS

The Military Files Series in the Map Room File was filed according to the Map Room Codifica- tion Manual. This manual utilized a decimal system. Map Room messages, reports and summaries, and correspondence received after May 1942 were filed according to a system based upon the War Department Decimal File. The abbreviation “MR” is listed before each decimal number to distinguish the number from the War Department Decimal File. The messages, reports and summaries, and correspondence were arranged by subject into nine main classes, represented by the numbers 0 to 8. The nine main classes are: 000 General; 100 Personnel; 200 Administration and Organization; 300 Warfare, Ground Operations; 400 Naval Operations; 500 Air Operations; 600 Logistics and Supply; 700 Medicine; and 800 Construction, Buildings, Grounds. (This publication utilizes only the 300 class.) The nine main classes were subdivided, by a decimal system, so that each subject had its own file number. Generally, all documents concerning one general subject were filed together in a folder without regard to place of origin. This folder was designated by a subdivision of the general class number. Example: MR 300.3: Geographic Divisions. If a separate folder on any special phase of a subject were needed to segregate it from the general file, another folder was started. This folder was designated by a number in parenthesis after the classification number. Example: MR 301 (2): Strength and Disposition of Troops (Axis). In addition to the decimal system, the Map Room staff subdivided the main classes by using descriptive names. These names were then a part of the decimal number and not a description of it. Names were used because it was easier for the folders so identified to be located easily. Folders with descriptive names as part of the codification number were filed alphabetically after the general file of the same codification number. Example: MR 300 Europe (1): Warfare in Europe—Western Front. When a subject expanded sufficiently to warrant additional folders, the divisions of the subject were designated as sections. Sections were indicated by a number after the decimal number. When described, the section number usually refers to a chronological breakdown. Example: MR 300 Italy, Sec. 1: War- fare in Italy, June 1942–August 1943; MR 300 Italy, Sec. 2: Warfare in Italy, September 1943. If it was necessary to break down the individual sections, these subsections were designated by a letter of the alphabet, after the section number. Example: MR 300 Italy, Sec. 8-A: Warfare in Italy, June–July 1944.

Listed below is the 300 class and subdivisions utilized in this publication. The descriptive words in parentheses beneath a subject classification are from the Map Room Codification Manual.
