Best Answer

Marshal proposed Eisenhower because, at the war college, he had written a proposal for the cross-Channel invasion. He had also done a competent job commanding the Louisiana War Games. Marshal persuaded Roosevelt, and Roosevelt persuaded Churchill that Eisenhower was the man for the job. Churchill agreed, provided that all of the immediate subordinates, Air, Naval, and Operational Field Command, would be British.
