D Day Order Of Battle speech by Dwight Eisenhower
June 6th 1944
Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Forces: 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 oppressed peoples of Europe, and security
for ourselves in a free world.
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped
and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.
But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41.
The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle,
man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air
and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us
an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our
disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free
men 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!
Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great
and noble undertaking.
