This footage was taken on the 7th of July 1944 at the 21st Army Group HQ during the Battle of the Normandy. “Operation Overlord” was a successful invasion of the Normandy, a region in France, which was occupied by the Germans at that time.
Three of the most important generals of this battle have gathered here. George S. Patton, Omar Bradley and Bernard Montgomery. Omar Bradley, at this point in time, was a Lieutenant General, as indicated by the 3 stars on his uniform. However, in 1950 he would be promoted to the rank of General of the Army, a 5 star general, which is a rank only 4 other American generals achieved before him. Bernard Montgomery held the title of a 5 star general as well, but in the British Army there already had been more than a hundred men who have been granted this title. George S. Patton was a Lieutenant General as well, just like Bradley, and he also did get a promotion, but only to a 4 star general.
