Gen Eisenhower was the leader. ---------------- General Montgomery was in charge of Operation Overlord, the Allied invaision of Normandy. He was chosen because he had more battlefield experience. There may have been a little political influence in the decision as well. Eisenhower was the Supreme Comander for allied forces in Europe but he did not take direct command of the Allied armies in France until after the Breakout from Normandy and the fall of Paris. You could compare Montgomery to Rommel as both were in command of the troops on the ground. You could compare Eisenhower to von Rundstedt as they were both in command of the entire theatre in which the landings toook place. As the Allied armies expanded from 1 battle group, Omer Bradley assumed command of the US forces in the field and Montgormary retained command of the Commonwealth and British forces, with Eisenhower as overall commander.
