George C. Marshall: Architect of Victory in World War II
General George C. Marshall shaped the wartime U.S. Army and advised President Franklin D. Roosevelt throughout World War II.
Here s What You Need to Know: Churchill hailed Marshall in 1945 as “the true organizer of victory” and called him “the noblest Roman of them all.”
President Franklin D. Roosevelt was disturbed in the autumn of 1938 by the Munich agreement, at which the rights of Czechoslovakia were signed away, and by reports of mounting air strength in Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany.
Shortly after the infamous accord on September 29, the president instituted a series of White House meetings at which he and his military advisers discussed the ominous situation in Europe. One of the early formal sessions was attended by the Assistant Secretary of War, the Solicitor General, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Army and Air Corps Chiefs of Staff, and a tall, blue-eyed, and courtly brigadier general named George C.
Marshall was a general of such ability and vision, he had to be kept close to home.
Here s What You Need to Know: FDR asked Marshall to decide who should lead the invasion of Europe, but Marshall declined to name anyone.
On November 11, 1943, under cover of darkness, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his key aides sailed down the Potomac River to the new battleship USS Iowa, there to meet with three of the four American members of the Combined Chiefs of Staff Admiral Ernest J. King, General George C. Marshall, and General Henry H. Arnold. Their mission: Sail to North Africa to meet with Allied leaders.
The B-25 continued to be the preferred medium bomber in the Pacific until the war’s end.
Here s What You Need To Remember: The B-25 was an all-around excellent aircraft; it lacked any serious vulnerabilities, and its configuration was varied during the war to best fit its requirements.
During the 1920s, U.S. Army Air Service commander Brig. Gen. William C. “Billy” Mitchell drove himself into an early grave while frantically trying to convince the ground-bound generals of the U.S. Army that the airplane was the weapon of the future.
Mitchell’s efforts reached the point of insubordination, for which he was court-martialed in the fall of 1925 and suspended from further service for five years. The verdict led Mitchell to resign from the Army, and he soon succumbed to the ill health his battle had earned for him. But his name would live on in the tactics he had advocated and in the bomber that was named in his honor.
