D-Day

PIERS FOR USE ON BEACHES. They must float up and down with the tide. The anchor problem must be mastered. Let me have the best solution worked out. Don’t argue the matter. The difficulties will argue for themselves.

​- Winston Churchill (memo which resulted in the creation of Mulberry harbors)

Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that Bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone.

​- Dwight D. Eisenhower (letter to be released in the event the D-Day landings failed)

You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.

​- Dwight D. Eisenhower (Order of the Day memo, encouraging allied troops for D-Day)

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.

​- Dwight D. Eisenhower (Order of the Day memo)

I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory!

​- Dwight D. Eisenhower (Order of the Day memo)
