What Eisenhower Told 156,000 Men Just Hours Before They Stormed The Beaches

On the morning of June 6, 1944, a printed message from General Eisenhower was distributed to the roughly one hundred fifty-six thousand Allied troops taking part in the Normandy invasion, addressing them as soldiers, sailors, and airmen embarking on what he called the Great Crusade. The order acknowledged the difficulty of the task ahead while expressing full confidence in ultimate victory, and copies were handed out or read aloud to units before they boarded ships and aircraft. The message became one of the most widely reproduced military documents of the war, still quoted today as the defining statement of the Allied cause on the eve of the invasion.
