Who led the allies in d day?

Answer 1

U.S. General Eisenhower, 4 star General. Later he became a very cool U.S. President. His nickname was Ike. I suppose he was the most responsible for D-Day, because he was willing to take responsibility for the failure of the invasion if it had not worked out.

The over person that gave the go ahead was Winstan churchill. However, General Dwight Eisenhower was put in charge of what became known as Operation Overlord. Eisenhower had the task of organising a million combat troops and two million men involved in providing support services.

The plan, drawn up by George Marshall, Dwight Eisenhower, Bernard Montgomery, Omar Bradley, Bertram Ramsay, Walter Bedell-Smith, Arthur Tedder and Trafford Leigh-Mallory, involved assaults on five beaches west of the Orne River near Caen (codenamed Sword, Juno, Gold, Omaha and Utah) by the British 2nd Army and the American 1st Army. Follow-up forces included the Canadian 1st Army and the American 3rd Army under Lt. General George Patton.

Answer 2

The five main leaders of D-Day were Ramsay, Eisenhower, Churchill, Montgomery and Tedder. They were all good leaders because as well as being kind and nice, they were also disciplined and kept control of their soldiers. They kept the whole investigation in secret, which was key to the success!

Answer 3

Gen. Eisenhower of the USA vs. Field Marshal Rommel of the Germans. General Eisenhower was the overall commander of the allied invasion force but the british Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery was the commander of Operation Overlord. they were fighting against Field Marshal Erwin Rommel who Montgomery had beat in North Africa at El Alamein
