Eisenhower remains optimistic
6/6/1944
Early on D-day, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Commander of the Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force during World War II, sent this report to Gen. George C. Marshall, Army Chief of Staff, in Washington, DC. “All preliminary reports are satisfactory,” it says—indicating that Eisenhower still lacked information about the landings but felt optimistic about the outcome.
