who was president when the iron curtain fell?
harry s. truman
churchill's first recorded use of the term "iron curtain" came in a 12 may 1945 telegram he sent to u.s. president harry s. truman regarding his concern about soviet actions, stating "[a]n iron curtain is drawn down upon their front. we do not know what is going on behind". he was further concerned about "another immense flight of the german population westward as this enormous muscovite advance towards the centre of europe". churchill concluded "then the curtain will descend again to a very large extent, if not entirely. thus a broad land of many hundreds of miles of russian-occupied territory will isolate us from poland".
