In February 1945 , Ismay attended the Yalta Conference . He found the conference different from the previous ones where " the military element had been the prima donna , occupying the centre of the stage . " Instead , at Yalta , political issues took precedence , leaving Ismay and other military advisers " waiting for calls that never came "
