The aircraft carrying the remainder of the British delegation arrived at 17.00 and they joined Churchill for his second meeting with Stalin at 23.00 . Stalin opened the meeting with an aide-memoire attacking the abandoning of plans for a Second Front in 1942 . Churchill listened to the document being translated and stated he would reply in writing but that ' we Britain and America have made up our minds upon the course to be pursued and that reproaches were vain ' . Stalin attacked the British military effort , " You British are afraid of fighting . You should not think the Germans are supermen . You will have to fight sooner or later . You can not win a war without fighting " . Harriman passed Churchill a note urging him not to take Stalin 's words seriously , as he had behaved in the same way during the Moscow Conference in 1941
