Why did General Dwight D. Eisenhower write a letter dated July 5 (1944) on the eve of D-Day June 6, 1944?
Correct answer: If the assault failed, he accepted full responsibility

He was a great leader of men. Also a great President of the United States of America

Player #9799695, One of the greatest generals ever, logical, intelligent, and deeply caring for his troops. My dad said he was never hungry with Ike I'm charge. And as President he warned us of the military industrial war machine. People still think War is a good way to get rich. God Forgive us.

wouldn't the letter have been written on June 5 (not July 5)? mistake in question.

Cizinka, Re-read the question. It's not a mistake.

Cizinka, I looked up the letter in the National Archives and Eisenhower did actually date the letter July 5, he most likely meant June 5. It's nice to see we kept his letters. He was human after all.
