Eisenhower's Words to the Men Attacking Normandy


From the June 6, 2018 Newsweek Magazine.

In his message to the Allied military, Eisenhower informed them that they were about to"embark upon a Great Crusade" and noted "the eyes of the world are upon you."

"The tide has turned!  The freemen of the world are marching together  to Victory!  I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle.  We will accept nothing less than full victory."

But, just in case things didn't turn out so well, he already had another message in case it failed.

Thankfully he didn't have to use it.
