humorous
reference to Joseph
Stalin (1879-1953), Russian political
leader. As
general secretary of the
Communist Party, he expelled those who opposed him and ordered the arrest and deportation to
Siberia and
northern Russia of tens of thousands of members of the opposition. He became
premier of the Soviet
Union in 1941, and established himself as virtual
dictator.
Uncle Joe Stalin and the rest of the boys wished it off on him down there at Casablanca, and he went along with it and so they decided that Germany had to unconditionally surrender, and Japan had to unconditionally surrender, and that was going to be the end of war.
