0:00   Harry S. Truman discusses why he didn’t want the same thing to happen to Hitler that happened to Napoleon. Being exiled gave Napoleon an opportunity to make a hero of himself by writing his viewpoint. Mr Truman says “Hitler was the greatest murderer in the history of the world.” This was probably used in preparation for MP80-3, “Execution Without Trial.”
