I think hidden is the big clue. As far as I know, the only things that was kept secret after Yalta was repatriation. The Russians didn't make any real concessions.

I'm going to look into what Russia was promised in Manchuria/Korea versus what they got. Perhaps the Russians didn't demand enough, not expecting to crush the entire Japanese Army in Manchuria in only 2 weeks.

the yalta agreement is online and it doesn't mention a mess of things that were agreed upon.

I don't know if I'm onto anything or not, but it looks like the Soviets were a victim of their own success in Manchuria. The concession of manchurian bases to the soviets was undone when Mao's forces operating from that area took China and were given back all of the territory.

Oh no. its just that this question is way more than vague.

Cossack officers reared in the honorable traditions of the Imperial Army were pathetically easy to deceive. However, unknown to these men or their captors, their fate had already been sealed by the secret pact at Yalta in the Crimea. In February 1945 Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin convened to decide how to divide up Europe after the war. It has been charged that concessions made in secret to Stalin at that meeting gave the Russians dominion over Eastern Europe and parts of Mongolia and Manchuria. It is also clear that the allies made unwritten promises to return all captive Russians irrespective of their wishes to return or not. - .html

Funny how we all seem to end up finding the same material. This one is way too vague. I'm almost too demoralized to even enter my guesses as they come to me.

Im with you there vagabond. I think Im gonna call it a night while I still have some sanity left.

Good luck!

Their business was fighting vermin

Women’s Land Army –80,000 women became 'Land Girls', to help farmers whose labourers had joined up, although 1,000 worked as rat-catchers, and 6,000 joined the Timber Corps.

GRRR I answered Kuriles but didn't try kurile islands!

yea, not seeing any direct connections, I just started plugging in answers from the general area and time.

I'm still trying to connect...

Ally to Allies - millions - keelhauled
to Stalins real name.

Seemed kinda random , compared to other possibilites.

These recent clues have been REALLY vague. They go to a specific chain of events but not to a set object; you just keep plugging stuff in until something works. I'm very frustrated with the semantical side of this game.

The Twelfth had no objection
to his anti-Semitic measures.

Hitlers pope-

He further argues that Pius was anti-Semitic and that this stance prevented him from caring about the European Jews.

Can't seem make anything work, so far.

"The Twelfth had no objection

to his anti-Semitic measures. "

Am I the only one seeing 2 questions , rather than 1 ?

Unless the twelfth IS the one doing the 'measures'.

But why would one object to his OWN measures?

Must be getting late .

good luck-
Hasta manana

Wooo! Go, JBird!!!

I'm just off work and will be around for a while tonight. (I finally joined in when we weren't slogging for referals.)

"Twelfth" with a capital "T". Hmmm...

Looks to me like "his" is the answer. We're looking for a man's name.

Hey, 'Spork,

where you been hiding?

twelfth- juror came immediately to mind, but found nothing significant

around the Rosenberg trial.
