What did general dwight d. Eisenhower say when he gave the final order to launch the attack . Its puzzling to me, anyway, that perhaps the most important decision of the 20th century did not bequeath to history and posterity a quote to mark the occasion, something to live up to the magnitude of ikes decision. Something iconic like macarthurs vow to the people of the philippines, i shall return. The stakes of the invasion certainly merited verbal splendor, if not eloquence, if the the overlord operation had failed the allies might never have won the war and yet eyewitnesses to eisenhowers great moment of decisions could not agree on what he said and as for eisenhower he could not even agree with himself. He related five versions of his fateful words to journalists and biographers over the years that perhaps even more mysteriously he wrote five different versions of the statement in a 1964 article commemorating the 20th anniversary of dday.

I want to talk about an elusive dday mystery that exists. Despite the millions of words written about the allied invasion about normandy, june 6, 1944. What did general dwight d.

Something iconic like general Douglas Macarthurs vow to the people of the philippines, i shall return. The stakes of the invasion certainly merited verbal splendor, if not eloquence, if the overlord operation had failed the allies might never have won the war and yet eyewitnesses to eisenhowers great moment of decision could not agree on what he said. And as for eisenhower, he could not even agree with himself. He related five versions of his fateful words to journalists and biographers over the years that perhaps even more mysteri
Into context, the high drama of those meetings leading up to the invasion decision certainly bear repeating. All the elements for the dday attack were in place by the spring of 1944, more than 150,000 men, nearly 12,000 aircraft can almost 7,000 sea vessels, it was arguably the largest invasion force in history. Every possible contingency had been planned for, every piece of equipment issued, every bit of terrain studied. The invasion force was like a coiled spring, ike said, ready to strike hitlers european fortress. All it waited for was his command to go. But for all the preparation there were i call elements that eisenhower couldnt control, namely the tides, the moon and the weather. The ideal low tidal and right lunar conditions required for the invasion prevailed only a few days each month. As we saw a few moments ago, those of us who watched eisenhowers documentary on dday, the dates for june were the fifth, the sixth, and the seventh. And if the attack were not launched on thos
